During this past winter when Texas got all the storms, they did a very good job handling the entire situation. We did speak with our loved one recently and the activities are still pretty limited. Our loved one has now been there a little over a year and they seem very happy to be there.

Loved this place. All one big building, so my mother would never have to go outside to get her mail or go to meals. They are busy doing repairs after the "big Freeze", but lovely guide and great set up.

We remember that the community was decently priced, and it was one of the lower ones in the surrounding area. The people there were very friendly, and were really impressed. We were also impressed that they were dog friendly.

If you're not independent they do have some services offered. I explained that my mom needed some additional help and they told me they could handle my mom's needs but they struggled to meet those needs. The residence was not very nice. If your really independent and with it mentally it would work for you, but if not I would not recommend it.

This is a pretty nice place to live. They are interested in inviting people to eat in the dining room. Now that it isn't open to everyone because of Covid, they are very cordial and work hard to meet everyone's needs.

I have lived here for only 8 months and have found the staff to be very caring and helpful. The residents have been welcoming and friendly. I really like my apartment and the food is both good and plentiful. I have also appreciated the availability of therapy and other services here in our building.

This is a very nice place to live. The building is beautiful, a lovely library, TV room. The landscaping is just beautiful and very colorful. The food is not the best but there has been a change there in the economy and it does show in our food quality.

A Place for Mom has scored The El Dorado 8.9 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.
We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.
Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
