What this means for your family
Eliseo offers a beautiful campus and excellent amenities for independent living, but families of those requiring skilled nursing or rehab should exercise caution. We strongly recommend visiting in person to observe staffing levels and asking specifically about the facility's process for handling family communication and call light response times during off-hours.

106 reviews on Google“Eliseo receives highly polarized reviews, with long-term independent living residents often praising the amenities and community atmosphere, while families of short-term rehab and nursing care patients report significant concerns regarding care quality. Common criticisms include slow response times to call lights, poor communication from staff, and inconsistent nursing care, particularly in the skilled nursing and rehab wings. Families should be aware that while the campus is modern and well-appointed, the level of personalized attention in the medical units appears to be a major pain point.”

Key Review Excerpts
“I tested call light myself and over 90 minutes to respond. No longer a quality place. Lots of turnover and contracted staff means no one cares.”
“The nursing care at the rehab center was terrific, thoughtful and kind. The social worker and physical therapy we had issues with which were never resolved.”
“My mother lived 11 years at eliseo in Independent Living, and is now in eliseo Assisted Living. Great staff, very responsive and caring. We're very happy here.”

Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
Eliseo has persistent safety and oversight issues with complaint-triggered deficiencies occurring as recently as late 2024 when families reported concerns about accident hazards. The facility repeatedly struggles with fire safety systems, emergency preparedness, and resident care quality across multiple surveys. While all identified deficiencies have correction dates, the pattern shows ongoing problems with maintaining safety standards and proper care protocols, particularly concerning given that families have filed multiple complaints about care quality and safety conditions.
