Desert Rose,
a Holiday Retirement
Community

The convenience of Desert Rose's on-site beauty salon and barber means all you have to do is walk in to get your hair and nails done. Of course, appointments are available.

Our beautician has been working at Desert Rose since we opened 24 years ago. People from the outside community even come here for beauty services.

Desert Rose residents enjoy a variety of health and fitness activities, from weekly group exercise classes to anytime access to on-site fitness equipment.

Get some fresh air and catch up with friends during a stroll on the walkway around the community. Swim some laps in our outdoor covered and heated swimming pool. There are many opportunities for healthy movement.

Enjoy restaurant-style dining served with courtesy and care by our staff who know you. Chef-prepared meals are served every day in Desert Rose's dining room. Sit with friends or invite your family for a special occasion in our private dining room. Each meal is designed to meet the unique nutritional needs of community members.

Residents love our chef's gourmet hamburgers and enjoy monthly chef chats to provide input on menus.

There’s so much to explore in the Yuma area, and Peninsula makes sure that residents experience as much as possible. Regular outings to favorite restaurants, local events and more introduce residents to all their neighborhood has to offer and connect them to the surrounding community.

Complimentary transportation provides residents with easy access to a variety of local activities, events and attractions, including a bi-monthly “Lunch Bunch” outing to resident-selected restaurants, field trips to the lake, casino outings, and scenic country drives.

Desert Rose’s comprehensive calendar is packed with both recurring activities and special events. The variety of available activities is meant to enrich the whole person by stimulating physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, creative, social or vocational wellness.

Plant flowers and herbs in our community garden bed. Engage in some friendly competition during our staff versus resident bean bag baseball and cornhole tournaments. Watch our weekly movie matinees. Reap the benefits of laughter and yoga in "Laughter Yoga."

Furry friends are welcomed as residents at Desert Rose. We understand how important the companionship and bond that seniors share with their pets is. We’re delighted to have cats, dogs, birds, and even bunnies as part of our community.

Residents and pets love our dog-walking area. We have a family of cats that residents and staff feed regularly. We also have a cute little roadrunner that visits our community daily.

Desert Rose is equipped with WiFi access to help you stay connected throughout common areas. You can use community desktop computers to stay up to date, or you can connect your personal devices to the WiFi.

We offer Technology Tuesdays, where you can get help with smartphones and tablets and learn more about technology and how to avoid online scams.

The exclusive Travel & Stay program offers residents exciting opportunities to travel around the country, with free stays of up to seven days at any of Holiday Retirement’s more than 260 communities. Three chef-prepared meals are included with each trip. Visit all 43 states or just choose a favorite new location or two.

Many residents find a sense of fulfillment in donating their time and skills to a cause close to their hearts. Residents host school supply drives and support Crossroads Mission, a faith-based, non-profit organization that serves those in need in the community of Yuma, Arizona.

We have empowered residents to become resident ambassadors. These individuals have often lived in the community for quite some time and enjoy helping new residents get acclimated to senior living. They encourage new residents to take their time settling in and them feel comfortable in their new home.
