Review

Avocado Post Acute, also known as Eldorado Care Center, is a facility that has received mixed reviews from its residents and their families. While some individuals express their love and gratitude for the staff and the care they provide, others have had significantly negative experiences and warn against placing loved ones in this facility.

One reviewer expresses their love for Avocado Post Acute, describing it as their home and the staff as their family. They appreciate the treatment they receive, feeling like a queen and being treated like family. They highly recommend the facility to others, promising to greet and befriend anyone who comes there.

However, another reviewer strongly advises against bringing family members to Avocado Post Acute. They recount instances of neglect towards their grandmother, including difficulties in reaching staff when necessary. The reviewer's aunt had to call seven times before finally getting through because a nurse had her phone turned off. Additionally, when their grandmother was discharged, the staff left her pick line in place, which was a negligent oversight.

Another individual shares a similar sentiment regarding the poor care at Avocado Post Acute. They claim that it is one of the worst facilities they have encountered while dealing with post-acute care for ailing parents. The administrative procedures and communication are described as atrocious, leading to serious issues involving COVID-19 positive patients being housed with other residents without informing medical teams or families. Unfortunately, this lack of communication resulted in the death of the reviewer's father.

In contrast to these negative experiences, one reviewer expresses happiness that their brother is receiving good care at Avocado Post Acute. They find the facility clean and inviting, wishing they could rest there themselves.

Yet another individual describes less than satisfactory conditions at Avocado Post Acute when their father stayed there. Although it appeared nice on the surface, there was an unpleasant smell upon entering his unit. Some staff members were unfriendly due to being understaffed. The father's main activity seemed to be sitting in the hallway, and the cafeteria lacked proper entertainment options. The rooms were stinky, and proper hygiene care was lacking, resulting in skin breakdown.

However, not all reviews are negative. One reviewer praises Avocado Post Acute for having one of the best rehab programs they have experienced. They appreciate the attentive staff and commend the facility for meeting their needs effectively.

Lastly, a reviewer shares an extensive account of poor communication and mishandling of their neighbor's care at Avocado Post Acute. The lack of transparency from staff regarding her health condition and discharge plans caused confusion and distress for both the reviewer and their neighbor. Despite concerns raised by concerned citizens about her welfare, she was left in a state of limbo with no information provided to her or her advocate. Ultimately, she was discharged without essential support services arranged, resulting in her deteriorating condition and subsequent return to Eldorado Care Center.

In conclusion, it is evident from these reviews that Avocado Post Acute has garnered a mix of positive and negative experiences. While some individuals appreciate the care they receive there, others warn against placing loved ones in this facility due to instances of neglect, poor communication, and overall subpar conditions. It is crucial for families to thoroughly research and consider all options before deciding on long-term care for their loved ones.
