Desert Springs Gracious Retirement Living

The moment you set foot on the campus of Desert Springs, you know you’ve found a special place for active, independent senior living in Oro Valley, Arizona. The spotless grounds, attractive architecture, and tastefully decorated interior signal the good times ahead for retirees who choose to live here. With a front-row seat to the beautiful, mountainous, Sonoran desert landscape, residents know they’re just minutes from any outdoor activity they like — walking, hiking, bicycling and more. Linda Vista State Park, Catalina State Park, Honey Bee Canyon Park and Tohono Chul Botanical Gardens are all easily accessible. So are the campuses of Pima Community College and the University of Arizona. Here at the community, retirement living is just as rewarding. You’ll enjoy restaurant-style dining, a pool, fitness center, game room, movie theater and more. Your own private casita or spacious apartment offer a personal sanctuary to rest, recharge and prepare for another day of social activities. On-site senior care and rehabilitation therapies are available as well.

The chefs at Desert Springs want all residents to have the delightful dining experience they desire and deserve. They’ll cater to vegetarians and vegans, while striving to prepare nutritious health options for all residents. If you have special dietary needs, we’ll do our best to accommodate them. Like all Hawthorne communities, Desert Springs offers ice cream anytime, along with a fruit bar, coffee and snack bar, and desserts made from scratch. Even snacks and beverages are available any time at no extra charge. Enjoy dining that puts your preferences first.
