Visitor Information

Cafeteria

The hospital cafeteria is located on the first floor of the main campus of Desert Springs Hospital and is available to all visitors seven days a week from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Parking/Security

Free visitor parking is provided in designated areas in the hospital lot. Spaces for handicapped parking are also available. While we strive to keep all areas of the hospital secure, we are not responsible for vehicle damage, fire, or theft while parked in the hospital lot.

Our security staff is on duty seven days a week, 24 hours a day. After 8:00 p.m., doors to the main entrance are locked. Please enter through the Emergency Services Department entrance on the southwest side of the hospital if after-hours access is necessary. The security staff will provide escorts to and from cars.

Family Concerns

Family members’ peace of mind, as well as their participation in their loved one’s plan of care, is very important to us. We therefore will do everything possible to enable you to meet with clinical staff on an as-needed basis to discuss a loved one’s current condition and progress and to answer questions. During weekdays, we should be able to accommodate your request within 24 hours. To schedule a conference time, call our Social Services department at (702) 866-2083.

Post-Hospital Care

When you no longer need the specialized services of our hospital but still require medical care, your physician may discharge you to a skilled nursing facility, a rehabilitation center, or to home care. Our discharge planner will help arrange for the services you may need after leaving the hospital.

Medicare and supplemental insurance policies have limited coverage for skilled nursing care and home healthcare. Check your policies to be certain what services will be covered.
