More about Desert Springs Post Acute

The RN Supervisor role on the board is part-time; pay in public listings runs about $48–$52 an hour depending on experience, and our own posting sits at $52. Day to day that means leading and mentoring the nursing team and watching over clinical operations while therapy colleagues work ADLs, strength, and balance with residents coming back from surgery or a fall. Families who visit talk about caring staff at the stations, decent meals, and a patio that stays kept. Long-stay quality measures look stronger than the overall CMS picture—low decline in mobility and ADLs, high pneumonia vaccination—so the clinical outcomes side has bright spots you can point to. You should also know the hard numbers before you apply: CMS gives the building 1 star overall (health inspection 1, staffing 2, quality measures 4), RN hours run only about a quarter-hour per resident day, staff turnover sits near 45–50%, and the name is shifting toward Willow Springs Healthcare Center. If part-time supervisor work in Palm Desert desert post-acute still fits how you want to practice, this is the setting as it stands.
