Cactus Valley Retirement Resort

Cactus Valley is the "almost perfect place" for me to live. I love the fact that I don't have to cook, and that 3 healthy meals are provided each day. Some things are not cooked to my taste - like baby food quality vegetables - but I'll go for that in return for not having to cook! Cactus Valley is an attractive residence, but things are starting to show wear. (7 years is a long time to expect things to be like new.) Equipment replacements and scheduled maintenance is a must with so many people moving in and moving out. Upgrades in security need to be evaluated for outdoor lighting, security gates, and strangers coming and going. This facility is meant to be a retirement resort for independent seniors. Quality entertainment is regularly provided. Lots of games and activities are offered to keep us socializing as a community. But I also treasure the fact that as an independent retiree, I can do things on my own and not feel pressured to be a "joiner." I like the fact that pets are allowed, but dogs are restricted to the first floor so that they have a patio/back yard to play in. That makes sense. Pets are like family to many people, and I'm glad they can stay with their owners. There are some people who live here that are not at all independent. Some of them can't leave their rooms without a private care giver or are totally bedridden. I know we can't say no to people who want to live here and hire their own private helpers. But my personal preference is that these people have their own floor in the residence. My expectation when I moved in here was that I would be with lots of active, intelligent young seniors that would share many of my interests, and there really are many of those folks. But selfishly I didn't want to be reminded every single day that so many elderly people need assistance and that I will be faced with being in that condition way sooner than I want to be. Basically, Cactus Valley is like being on a mini cruise ship without floating on water.

Marilynn and I are very pleased with Joyce and Robert’s very active management of Cactus Valley. We are also impressed with Mark Melton’s abilities. All things considered we are very satisfied with our life here at Cactus Valley. Sincerely, Mack and Marilynn Harris

Cant say enough good stuff about this wonderful community. The spotlessly clean and beautiful interiors are impressive from the get-go. The inside Koi pond is a lovely touch. Staff and residents are welcoming and give a sense of warmth and family. There is always something fun and engaging going on. The food is simply fantastic! I highly recommend a visit and a "try it you'll love it" guest stay if you are looking for the best place to live in the Las Vegas area. You will not be disappointed!
