  My mom lived here for 9+ years and loved it. Until the last year I was happy for her. However they have slowly decreased their amenities while increasing the price. We recently moved her to assisted living and have to pay the $2000+ monthly fee until her condo sells. There are currently 24 units for sale which says something about their value proposition. Management is totally uninterested because they continue to collect the monthly fee while providing no services for a vacant condo. I hope the Board realizes these challenges and considers changes. In the meantime they are draining my mother's bank account.

  $2000 a month for a single resident. $2500 for a couple. It's a little steep since you have to purchase your own unit. My dad purchased a 2 bedroom for $150k. For the $2000 a month, he received one meal a day, one hour a week housekeeping, and a very long walk to get to the dining room or out to the parking lot. They have a nurse on grounds. And a couple of times he needed to call the nurse for assistance. She was unable to actually help him as she was not allowed to give oxygen, take vital signs, or assist with injections. Each time, she ended up calling me to take him to Boswell hospital (which is right across the street, thankfully). After my dad died, we were informed by El Dorado that we'd have to continue paying the $2000 a month, even though services would not be rendered. You'd think we would at least get the one dinner a night, but no! It took us several months to sell his unit and we had to drop the price by over $50k. If residents wonder why their property values continue to plummet, well, it's because descendants have to lower the prices to sell and get out from under the $2000 a month payments! I'm thankful that dad never needed to go into assisted living. We would not have been able to afford $3000-4000 a month plus $2000 a month to El Dorado for nothing. I would also add that my dad grew tired of eating in the dining room. He liked the people working there, but the food choices became monotonous. He'd gladly jump at any chance to not have to eat there. I think he ate more at our house than he did at El Dorado's dining room. He had mobility issues that worsened over time. Toward the end, he required the use of a walker and portable oxygen. Making the trek from his unit, down a long hallway, taking the elevator, and then down another long hallway, made each visit to the dining room, or lobby, such an incredible struggle. I also noticed a noxious odor in the hallway leading toward my dad's place that lasted a couple of months. It smelled like rotting meat and fruit. El Dorado must have been aware. They cleaned the carpet a couple of times, but it didn't help in the least. It may have been coming from someone's apartment. Though, I guess there's nothing they can do about the cleanliness of individual units.
