“I came into the springs of El Dorado for rehabilitation. When I got here I couldn't even stand up out of my wheelchair. When I started therapy the therapist took there time with me but pushed me to be better by the end of my therapy stay I was walking on my own. If it wasn't for the springs of El Dorado I wouldn't be here today. I ended up leaving after my skilled stay but came back for long term …”

“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.”

★★★★★Velma Clemons · 2025-02-20 · via Google

“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.”
