Overview of El Dorado Hills Senior Care Village

El Dorado Hills Senior Care Village is a six-bed Residential Care Elderly facility at 2920 Tam Oshanter Drive, El Dorado Hills, El Dorado County, California. Operated by El Dorado Senior Care, LLC, and administered by Sergei Entona, the facility has held its license from the California Department of Social Services since May 2015.

The community provides assisted living and memory care in a single-story setting with private and semi-private rooms, licensed nursing staff, transportation, and fitness programs. The facility is car-dependent with a walk score of 22.

The regulatory record documents a pattern of improvement over six years, with serious deficiencies early in the facility’s history now corrected and recent inspections showing compliance.

A February 2021 complaint investigation substantiated three deficiencies: unsafe uneven pavement in the driveway that caused a resident fall, incomplete staff training on medication handling, and failure to report the incident to licensing. An April 2023 annual inspection found one deficiency for inadequate staff initial training on medication self-administration. A September 2023 follow-up inspection documented that fire code violations from a February 2023 correction notice had not been corrected and a second correction notice was issued. A June 2024 complaint investigation substantiated one deficiency for failing to notify the Department within two business days of filing for bankruptcy on May 21, 2024.

The facility has averaged 1.8 deficiencies per year over six years, 55 percent better than California’s average of 4 per year. The most recent annual inspections (March 24, 2026, and April 2, 2025) found zero deficiencies and confirmed all health and safety protocols met.

Across all inspections, five total citations have been issued: one Type A (serious/immediate risk) and four Type B (moderate, non-immediate). No enforcement actions or fines are reported. Occupancy stands at eighty-three percent (five of six beds), above Nevada’s state average of 72.8 percent.

Prospective residents should ask about corrections following the 2021 staff training and pavement safety deficiencies, and the status of the 2023 fire code violations.

Overview of Everlasting Senior Care

Everlasting Senior Care, a 6-bed assisted living community administered by Warlito Pizarro, sits at 2117 California St in Carson City, Nevada. In operation for 9 years, the facility serves residents 55 and older, requiring health assessment, ADL evaluation, and compatibility review before admission. It occupies a moderately walkable neighborhood with a Walk Score of 61 and sits about 1.4 miles from downtown Carson City.

The inspection record is notably clean. Nine regulatory surveys since 2016 yielded just 6 deficiencies, placing the facility in the top 10 percent of Nevada assisted living homes. The July 2025 annual inspection reported zero violations and an A grade. One June 2024 complaint investigation found the facility had failed to maintain interior air temperatures (readings hit 87 degrees when state rules require 68–82 degrees); the deficiency was substantiated.

Beyond that single finding, a series of complaint investigations involving alleged elopement, caregiver neglect, poor hygiene, facility cleanliness, and dietary adequacy resulted in unsubstantiated allegations after staff interviews and record review. No fines or license actions appear in the available regulatory record.

But occupancy has declined sharply. The census stands at 2 residents occupying 6 licensed beds; 33 percent capacity, well below Nevada’s 81.5 percent average for similar facilities. This sudden drop signals immediate availability and suggests operational or marketing challenges.

Services include respite care, personal assistance with daily activities, transportation, and meal preparation. Recreation programming features fitness classes and arts and crafts. The building offers housekeeping support and medication reminders. Staff manage meals and snacks according to individual dietary needs and preferences.

Admission criteria assess health, mobility, and facility fit; the community accommodates independent and assisted living in the same setting.
