El Dorado West was a great place. It would be our #1 choice. It's a beautiful place and immaculate. If I was looking for a long-term community, I would move there today. That's how much I liked it. They do a nice job for those folks. They have memory care there, but it's full. It's about as close as you could get to being at your own home. They provide a good atmosphere and activities. It's not depressing. They're very thorough there. I walked the whole facility and I'm pretty particular and it was immaculate. The staff was nice. They're nice to the residents. I like the fact they know their residents by name. It makes them feel more of a part of a community, not just a resident. I looked at two different types of rooms, but I would describe them as more than enough room and I think priced accordingly. The food and the menu choices looked good. They go the extra mile to make sure their folks are happy. I've never been there before, so I don't have the incentive to be nice here, but It's a wonderful place. The dining area had plenty of seating. They have people spaced accordingly, very upbeat, light and bright, accessible, and nice. The common areas are nice. They have a movie area. All the areas are nice. They showed their monthly schedule of activities for seniors. They had a beauty shop if they need their hair done. They're having a holiday party for their residents and their staff. They have shopping trips. All of these things are on a monthly schedule that people can sign up for that are more active. I think that's nice because they have quite a bit of assistance there. It's immaculate. The buildings were in very good shape. The common areas were in good shape, the hallways, the apartments themselves. You could tell the building was well maintained and there were no smells. It's a nice place. I was impressed. I didn't expect to see what I saw. They weren't trying to upsell me. They were more on giving me information to understand the community, the environment, and what they have for residents, which is what I was there for. The place sold itself. It's beautiful, well maintained, and up-to-date. It's not dismal. It's not lacking in maintenance. You could tell that they maintain everything from the common outside areas, garden areas, interior, exterior, and the parking lot was clean. It had a nice appeal when you drive up. The lobby was very appealing. The dining room was appealing. They did a good job for their community. Overall, the value for your dollar, that's an exceptional place.

My mother-in-law is moving into El Dorado West. They were very personable, and it was very nice and clean. She is going into the memory care section, and they really explained how they would be able to accommodate her. It was an overall good experience. The room was very clean, and they are putting brand new flooring in the room she's gonna be in, so it's very nice. When I toured the memory care, they were doing an activity with their current residents. It's hard for me to comment on the food because she hasn't moved in yet, but it looked like they had a nice menu.

We went to El Dorado West. It looked nice, the people seemed nice, and I liked everything about it, but it was out of our price range. The room was great. It was actually nice. If we could afford it we would have chosen that place.
