Specialized memory care programming and support are provided by an experienced team that understands all stages of memory loss. Our goal is to help residents experience more meaningful moments and more fulfilling days at our Riverside County memory care community, Desert Hills.

Based on Teepa Snow’s Positive Approach to Care®, Mosaic honors all the pieces that make up our residents’ lives and celebrates where they are in their journey.
Architecturally and operationally innovative, our Hemet, California, memory care community features a welcoming lobby and lots of comfortable common spaces for residents to relax or socialize. A spacious, secure outdoor courtyard is a safe place for activities, visits and special events. An open kitchen serves as the hub of the community and provides a wonderful space for activities and dining.
