Review for Avila Senior Living at Downtown SLO

Well, my mom moved out of my back house, so that was very good. There were some ongoing construction problems she encountered that forced her to move rooms after she moved in, so that wasn't ideal, but it all worked out.

Review for Avila Senior Living at Downtown SLO

Cleanliness is great. The staff has been lovely. Activities aren't always up to date, but they are great when they are. Mom loves the cinema. Her room is a great size, perfect for her and her little dog. Overall, a great place.

Would highly recommend them to anyone!

Services are great, food available any time, nice and clean environment with activities! I would recommend them to others who are searching for a community - prices are extremely reasonable. My families experience was pleasant, my brother was difficult with limited funds, the staff worked hard to make him welcomed and meet his needs.

[Name Removed] was great! Gave me a tour and answered all my questions. He was easy to talk to so it made it a comfortable visit. The facility itself is lovely and soothing. It is also in a fantastic location to all San Luis Obispo had to offer and close to great beaches etc. I wish I could have found something like this for my mom before she passed away. I'm only 57 but live with disabilities. Still independent but would feel nice to have a community right there.

A Mixed Bag

Well, it's cheap, and price follows quality to some degree. There are some ways they do not currently seem to have their stuff together, but it will do. I'm hoping things start improving
