El Dorado is a city with a population of 17,969 people. There are 2 nursing homes there to choose from.
While its overall grade was abysmal, we awarded this city a grade of B+ for our inspections rating. This category obviously was not the reason for its alarming overall grade. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are quite minor. Surprisingly, El Dorado performed respectably in our short-term care category as well, where we gave it a B- for that category. Finally, the city received a C for its nursing grade and a grade of D in the area of long-term care. In spite of otherwise respectable category grades, this city's weak long-term care rating may be concerning for many prospective residents.
