My Dad moved into The El Dorado 4 months ago and is having a positive experience there. I visit once a week and have wonderful interactions with the staff as well as the other residents. They have many weekly activities on site and offer outings as well. Dad has enjoyed going to area restaurants with his new friends. He also likes to go to the weekly resident meetings to share his opinions on activities, meals and other topics.

My parents moved in one year ago and I have felt nothing but positive vibes with my decision to have them live here. Jessica, the Director really cares about the residents and she is on top of EVERYVERYTHING! Anytime I've needed her help, big or small, she has ALWAYS come through for my parents and me. The residents are very loving people who have always welcomed my parents with open arms, the residents definitely look out for each other like family! Ariel, who is Jessica's assistant is also a big help and very friendly! The kitchen staff are awesome and they give the residents good home cooking style food everyday. Activities are also plentiful for the residents. If you are looking for a home for your elderly parents or yourself, this should be your next home! You can't go wrong, great value, great staff, great amenities, and caring hearts all over!

I moved here in February from Another facility in another area of Dallas. This has been the most amazing transformation in my life. These people are fabulous. They made me feel welcome from the very Beginning. I love every one of the staff members. They are all concerned about our well-being and our safety. I feel like I am an important person and my opinion matters. I highly recommend this place the food is great like I said the people are wonderful. I love the activities. We have tons of stuff going on every day I just can’t do all of them. I wish I could.
