Our families experience

They have been pretty supportive with concerns that I have had with my mother's ongoing care and they seem to be pretty attentive with her needs. Clean. Activities throughout the day. My mom likes the food too !

Peace of Mind

I feel it's safe, clean, and cheery. Staff try to keep the residents active. Caregivers are very communicative. There are frequent family events. I would recommend

Overall, I am satisfied with my mom‘s care, the facility and its staff.

Our experience overall has been a good one with El Rio. She has had many growing pains, but nothing that the facility or the staff are at fault for. The staff is always kind, courteous and willing to take a look at my mom’s situation to help make it a better one… My mom can be a handful & very vocal!! I think her biggest hurdle, is being in a “facility” and not in her own home. This brought a lot of resentment and rebellious behavior. I do have to mention that my mother was a higher functioning resident as far

Review for El Rio Memory Care

Facility was the nicest I saw when searching for a place. Staff was good. Sales person was excellent. Caretakers seemed nice. My dad was only there for four days. He got sick and passed away. Not anything to do with El Rio. Price was comparable to other places that weren't as nice.

Our Experience

The cost was overwhelming. With creative financing we were able to afford it but I truly feel for those who can't. I'm not singling out El Rio. They are all like that. Based on the experience, we would recommend El Rio Memory Care to other families.
