When I had previously worked at Avila Senior Living I was constantly running around and doing the best I could so that the residents would be satisfied and most importantly, not have been on the floor for longer than a minute. Unfortunately, this company only cares about profit. They have zero regard for assistance that the residents need even though they charge the residents and/or family members for it. There are some amazing individuals on the care staff and in the kitchen, but as I had gone by to visit a resident that had asked me to keep in touch I had a member on the care staff decide to confront me in a very unappreciated manner. Unfortunately when I had worked with this person before they quit I thought they would have changed as they weren''t so kind to the residents. Given this was the kind greeting I had gotten I truly hope she has learned to at the very least treat the residents in a nicer manner. Overall I hope that whomever is considering having their parents here they look at every other option first. I have always only wanted the best for people. Maybe by the time you are considering bringing your parents here they will have changed. I do hope that is the case soon.

I’m a Cal Poly student who took a tour here for a research project on senior living, and I was immediately impressed by the kindness of the employees, the light, warm, and home-y environment, the cleanliness, the variety of activities offered, and the overall atmosphere of care in what is clearly an intimate community of folks. Thank you to Allison for a wonderful and informative tour!

We moved my mother into Avila Senior Living. Such a wonderful place. Everyone there, went well above and beyond what we expected. The atmosphere is nice, the food is really yummy, and so many activities there as well as excursions to shop, eat out and they also take people to their Dr. appointments too. I cannot say enough about Avila. They take pride in upkeep of the buildings. My Mom’s room was newly upgraded and was really nice. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. I would recommend Avila Senior Living for anyone’s parent’s.

It has been quite an up and down course for Avila Senior Living. Unfortunately, mostly down. The facility is in a great location with access to downtown SLO, but is owned by a a large corporation and seems to put profit ahead of resident and facility care. There are some fantastic and caring staff members, but the facility has a hard time maintaining staff. They have hired and let go of multiple staff in administration, maintenance, food service and caregiving. For example, there have been 5 executive directors in 2 1/2 years….4 Food Service Directors etc. The current Executive Director is working hard but things are very difficult and I am changing what was a 4 star review for a few months down to a 2…😰
