My mother completed her rehab there and left there completely walking on her own at 75 years old after her total knee replacement. My brother resides there now, and receives great care daily.

My mom was sent over there for 5 days and they let her fall . She is at her last stage of dementia and she doesn’t need to fall at all. She could have broke her bones .

My Mother was a resident at Ella for skilled therapy and she had a wonderful experience. The therapy team was awesome. The staff was great. The nurses and Nurse Practitioner worked together with her primary care doctor, along with her urologist. They did a wonderful job. I would most definitely recommend the Springs of El Dorado to anyone looking for only therapy or a long term stay.
