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.
I don't think they are geared to assist people with Dementia..
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.
Outstanding Care
reviewed on: 03/24/2017 by AnonymousThis is a nice community that we toured. They were nice and very friendly. The community was nice and clean. This is a top community with a lot to offer the residents. The menu was appealing and the activities would have been very nice. We recommend other families to this community for a tour of what is available for the care of a loved one.
Short Stay
reviewed on: 07/28/2017 by AnonymousWe had only placed my dad here for about 2 weeks. From what I observed the community seemed to be clean and smelled fine. The staff was excellent at meal time someone would come and take my dad down to the dining area so he could eat. He never mentioned the food but I ate there once and the food was very good. The layout of the building seemed fine and the temperature was comfortable. The location was good only about 15 mnutes from me.
