I toured this community with my mother and she loved it! It’s very beautiful and the staff was amazing. I really liked the one bedroom. It is the perfect size for my mom. Still in early planning but they are at the top of my list.

Avila is a great place. Very welcoming and great staff. Food is great, all residents are happy and excited. Restaurant dinning is the best. Christmas festivities where great and residents seemed super happy

Thank you Alina for your positive recommendation of Avila Senior Living at Downtown SLO! Our team is passionate about providing the best possible experience for all of our residents and their family members, and we are so glad to have achieved that today.
The med-techs and caregivers are amazing. The staff are very kind and capable. Residents seem quite friendly and happy and make friends easily. Its all very clean and lovely and homey. Nightly movies in the theater is a great perk. Scenic drives are wonderful. Father adjusted easily and praises the staff. He's happy and feels at home. We are comforted knowing he's in good care and we visit him often and have gotten to know the staff and residents.

I would recommend Avila Senior Living at Downtown SLO. It's a small community feel. If you want extra special food, it may not meet your wants. But the food is cooked fresh and is planned by a nutritionist. You need patience waiting for food to be served sometimes. All of my needs are met and I feel safe.

The staff changeover is quite extreme. In just four months...the food quality has lowered. And they are low on staff in the dining room. And a couple of their best staff have left.

Residents seem quite friendly and happy and make friends easily. One resident plays piano regularly. Its all very clean and lovely and homey.

Avila assisted living in San Luis Obispo has had some challenges in the past year and a half. They changed ownership recently. There has been dissatisfaction by residents and families. But I believe they are working hard to address several issues and make improvements. I was pleased to finally tour the facility. It is a lovely campus. Remodeling is happening at the moment. The noise that causes can be disruptive but it will be worth it. Staff turnover has been a problem. They recently got a new cook and the meals have improv... read more
