Hello, I had a good experience with Desert Star and the care my uncle received. The entire team was professional, compassionate, and attentive to my uncle’s needs, but I want to especially highlight the nurse,Omar, who cared for my uncle. His kindness and education made all the difference to his recovery.

Extremely unprofessional and unreliable agency. Does not show up on time or at all. Terrible at communication and just shows up for care whenever they feel like. If you have an option stay away! If we could give a zero star review we would
