Great Place!
reviewed on: 07/02/2015 by AnonymousMy mother is living there now, and they're really nice at El Dorado! There's been some complications with payments, but they were so nice and said they'd be flexible! It's a great place, I'd recommended it!

reviewed on: 12/23/2012 by A Place For Mom CustomerVisited facility. No administrators present, only cafeteria and 1 nurse observed. Spoke with residents, all had favorable comments. Many common areas to interact - Wii, cards, putting green. Outside seating area. Homey atmosphere, could really see her there.

reviewed on: 08/07/2015 by AnonymousMy husband has Dementia. I don't think they are geared to assist people with Dementia. That is my only main concern. I also think he spends too much time alone. They don't have any activities for residents with Dementia. They said they would make changes. The food is really good. I had dinner there before. I want my husband home but I think this is as good as it will get. They are suppose to be making changes and I am looking forward to that.
Feeling unsure...
reviewed on: 03/20/2017 by AnonymousThings were going well at El Dorado West until there was an incident with my mother getting out at night. The staff isn't sure how it happened and believe a side door was left open.She has since been moved to Memory Care and with the exception of her falling once, I am okay with the move. Both of my parents live here.The staff is very friendly and compassionate.They offer an on-site nurse who oversees care.The food is also very good.It's a newer community and very clean. I was very pleased up until the incident with my mother getting out. I would have scored them a 5 but now I am really unsure.
