Community Reviews
Good Value for Clean, Safe, Caring Place
reviewed on: 02/11/2020 by Pat and SherriThe facility was remodeled fairly recently and is lovely. If you are looking for perfection, you are not going to find it here or anywhere else. However, if your expectations are reasonable, you will find a caring staff, both administratively and in the services who try hard to fulfill the needs of residents and almost always succeed. As in almost all of these facilities, the workers tend to be underpaid and overworked. For them, it is a labor of love. Our 91-year old mother moved in almost four years ago and started out as an independent living resident, and transitioned into assisted living care as her Alzheimer's progressed. The residents do sometimes complain about the food, which is along the lines of what you get in a college dormitory, so don't expect to get everything cooked the exact way you want it. But the variety of meals is fine and other food options are available. They have a shuttle bus that regularly takes residents to a variety of department stores and grocery stores every week. There are also field trips available including Mariner's games, parks, occasional restaurants, and other activities. They even have a happy hour every Friday afternoon. There is a daily schedule of activities planned and posted each day for any resident who wishes to participate. Whenever we have made a reasonable request for anything regarding maintenance, food, or billing, they have always tried to accommodate us. The costs that we have experienced throughout this time were very reasonable and it would be hard to find more bang for your buck elsewhere. They have a tough job to do and they do it well.

food is wonderful here
reviewed on: 08/31/2015 by AnonymousAt El Dorado West the staff are well trained. They are so nice and helpful. If you need anything they are right there for you. The food is wonderful here. I haven't been here long enough to be very involved but some of the activities are great and some are not. This is just my issue but I hate it here, it was not my decision to come. I am legally blind so I am not making any friends. That makes it difficult for me personally. Where I came from I knew everyone. The residents just kind of keep to themselves and don't look happy. But again I am very pleased with the staff and the facility.
A visit to the community
reviewed on: 03/15/2017 by AnonymousThis was a nice community when I took my tour. The community we chose seemed to have all the amenities we were looking for. This community looked clean and the people I met were nice.
They're okay...
reviewed on: 03/31/2017 by AnonymousI think El Dorado has been a good place and is very clean. They change the sheets in my loved one's room and keep things clean. On the weekends, though, I feel that the kitchen staff is a little lax and they don't do as good of a job as during the week. They do charge extra for little things and they were up front about it on move in, they gave me a list with pricing. There have been a couple of times that my mother has received her food in her room that looked like a last minute meal or it was cold and hard.
