Avila Senior Living at Downtown SLO

I chose Avila because it is in a good location so I could walk to things. The apartment sizes here vary, I have a studio with a bathroom and kitchenette. In my opinion, the food is not very good. Some things are ok, but I have only eaten 1 really good meal from the time I have been here. They serve a lot of chicken so there is not a lot of variety. Every week the facility does do a happy hour and they have basic activities such as bingo and puzzles. I would question who runs this place, it is run by a corporation in San Diego and no one can make any changes unless it goes through them. Overall, I would recommend.

New owners makes all the difference! The rooms have a beautiful view and are so spacious! The courtyard is nice and quiet. I love how close this community is to everything!

I was at Avila Senior Living At Downtown Slo for a few days. Everything was nice, but I wasn't there long enough to give the activities a try. The staff was wonderful.

What a beautiful place the location is San Luis Obispo is perfect. Staff has been very helpful during this touch time. Our family is missing grandma but they try hard to keep us informed.

During our current COVID life my auntie has had a hard time. The employees have made such an effort to keep her spirits up with games and fun activities. Thank you and god bless all the friends and family in Avila please keep them safe.

The community is designed with the residents happiness and safety in mind.

My experience has been great through this COVD 19 the residents have come together to help each other. The staff has gone above and beyond to be caring and so kind though these long months. thank you

Looking for my aunt and was pleasantly surprised how great the experience was.

You get the best care the staff treat your loved ones just like there own family .You even have staff volunteer to work on holidays to be with the residents.

What A great community , the people are so friendly the staff is always working hard for the residents . Happiness and safety is the main focus at Avila Senior Living ...

My x husband whom I am still very close to really loves it there. They have lots of activities and the food is good and he says it is run very well!

I love this place and [name removed], the guy who owns it but it is really too expensive for me right now I guess.

Very pretty facility. Large, like a high-class hotel. Busy/noisy communal rooms, nice eating setups...dining and bistro. garden lovely. Getting a private one bedroom apt. off of the more remote, less noisy areas off the main atrium on floors 1 or 2 would be the best for Mom. However, we did not explore "custodial care" and if this facility provides that. But I think the size of the place overwhelmed Mom. FYI: Mom came down with bad flu bug that evening so was actually sick during the tour without our realizing it. This more than likely influenced her feelings about the place a t the time.

Very nice. Need indoor hallways and 2 bedrooms, which were not available. Also wanted attached memory care. Really like the dining room.

I have watched a 95 year old grumpy woman, bloom and enjoy her life once again with friends. The laughter and smile in her eyes has returned thanks to the staff and facility. She doesn't hide in her room, she is never in it. If not for yoga, activities around town, crafts, horse races, tea parties, ice cream socials, bridge, etc. While the extra attention that the staff puts on their dining experiences for their residents, makes them feel extra special too! Way to go Manse! With this ever changing age of our parents living into their prime, Thank you for making them feel welcomed and giving our generation a safe and secure environment!

The staff is very helpful. Maybe communication could be a little better. Had a change of cooks and took some time to adjust. Staff is really gracious and kind.

Caregivers and wellness people are great, the servers are great and friendly. The Manse is doing a good job. I couldn't ask for better. The staff are happy, have good ideas and I love them like they were my own grandchildren.

It's a beautiful place but out of our price range. My dad wasn't real excited about it when he saw it. It's right in the downtown section of San Luis Obispo. You can pretty much walk everywhere you want to go. I'd say about 90% of our reason or not going there was the cost.

I don't think they were able to deal with her memory issues because that's been a progressive thing, she had been there for 3 years and she seemed to decline and he behavior was not consistent. When she would get upset, basically from what I was told, is that they weren't really dealing with it and they didn't seem to know how to deal with it. It was like an upscale, really really nice hotel so appearance wise it was really nice but I think they're more of an independent living place with some assistance but they do have RNs 24 hours a day. We just felt that as she declined it wasn't the best palce for her.
