Professional and licensed care staff is available around the clock to provide immediate care. The licensed nursing staff offers health screenings, medication management, respite care, and more.

Response from El Rio Memory Care
August 2, 2024Hi there, We are so glad you are able to make it work, senior living can be hard to figure out financially sometimes. But we try to find ways to make all needs and desires work. Welcome to El Rio!
My Father only spent 4 days at El Rio. He passed away 4 days after entering the facility. My experience with [name removed] the Sales Director was great. The staff was amazing! The facility was clean and spacious. The care even though short for my father was good. The rates were comparable to other facilities that seemed not as nice. I would recommend El Rio to others in need of a Memory Care Facility.

Response from El Rio Memory Care
August 30, 2024We are sorry to hear of your father's passing but love to hear our team was meeting all the needs you had and made you feel heard and loved.
A dedicated memory care facility is so much better than a memory care unit "tacked on" to an assisted living facility... because the patients have access to the entire building...grand entry, libraries, private dining, nicer dining etc. Of course, the cost is higher, but really so much more appealing...

My mother lived at El Rio Memory Care for 15 months before her death. Never have I seen a facility that is driven by patient care and compassion for each and every resident like at El Rio!! My mother told me regularly and unprompted how nice everyone is to her there and how happy she was. The nursing staff is professional and friendly and invaluable!! El Rio gave my mother 15 happy months before her death. She felt safe and loved in her home. She was both. Thank you El Rio for your love and care.

February 7, 2022Bryan Scheer, Thank you for sharing your mother's positive experience at El Rio Memory Care with others and for trusting us with her care. Comments like yours are the best possible confirmation that our efforts to 'create happiness by providing the finest living experience anywhere' are paying off. We strive to create the most loving and nurturing community we can—a true home to our residents—and it warms our hearts to know that we were able to do exactly that for her. Thank you for the kind words and we were so blessed to have your mother here.
We chose El Rio because the director was willing to come in on her day off and do a zoom tour for us. They answered all of our questions and you could tell that it was a nice facility. I could not go into the facility until a few weeks ago because of covid, but once I was able to go in it is very clean. The room that she has is a good size for what she needs. They do have some fun activities, I know she has been on a few bus rides and for example tomorrow they are having a Father's Day barbecue. I would recommend to other families who are looking.

What a great place! I know that my father will be very happy at El Rio. It is staffed with caring and knowledgeable people. It is clean and at the times of my visits - quiet! I know that the peace can be upset at any time but there isn't the constant chaos that some other facilities have.

This is a brand new community. They are keeping mom active with limited exercises. They are always engaging her to join the daily activities they will give them choices. The caregivers really care and it means something to them. The cleanliness is spectacular. They offer a shuttle to get to the doctor or the grocery store if needed. They have motion and light sensors everywhere which make her feel safe. I would recommend this community to families.
