The Villages of San Luis Obispo

Jennifer

My mom was a resident at The Villages of San Luis Obispo. They were spectacular and we want to go back there. They were really attentive and very friendly and they had a lot of activities. It was a good landing spot. We all felt thankful that it existed. It had enough independence and enough group things to give my mom a variety of experiences. I could wish they had an art room but that's zero compared to everything else. My mom would like to have more interesting art stuff than what they do. They had regular music programs like singing, as well as people who come in to play the piano in the lobby, which a lot of people come by. There were a lot of people actively doing puzzles or watching movies. They had ways in which people could gather. There was exercise time, art activities, as well as fun social things with the lunch, and they had different little trips you could sign up for to drive out to see little side scenes. They also had private drivers you could get to take you places.

I'm in The Villages at The Palms. I really like the climate and the community and am very pleased with the place overall. The food is excellent, and the staff is nice to work with. I wished the rent was a little lower, but I understand because it covers everything. There's a lot of activities. Two people work to arrange presentations, shows, movies, and exercises classes, and you can keep busy with that if you want to. Both of the ladies who work on that are really nice, cooperative, and helpful. They only serve breakfast and dinner, and we can get lunch, but we have to pay for it. Just across is The Oaks, which is very similar to The Palms. They don't serve regular breakfast, but the people at The Oaks can come to the Palms for breakfast if they want to. It's a little more upscale in terms of furnishing. The Oaks is a large unit with four courtyards. There's a long building along the south side, another long building in the middle, and another long building on the north side. Those are all apartments and offices that are enclosed at the west and east ends. There's a center court with a swimming pool and tables. The dining room is on the second floor with a picture window that looks out over the swimming pool. It's a nice place.

The Villages of San Luis Obispo is our second choice. We just went crazy on the size of the units. They were small because of the fact they took over student housing instead of building from the ground for senior citizens. The bathrooms are very tiny. They had some nice units called the cottages. We weren’t able to tour the rooms because they were 100 percent occupied. Their dining rooms were nice, and they had a swimming pool. Their building was nicely decorated too. They have a lot to offer. They have clubs and bingo game going on when we were there. I was impressed with the people. Everybody we encountered was super friendly. It was mainly the lady who gave us a tour. She was terrific, and the front desk staff.

We're going to The Villages of San Luis Obispo. They're very nice and it's a very open place, which was why I picked it. Every part of it goes outside. It has a beautiful pool and a hot tub and there's a fireplace out in the courtyard that is very open like in a nice hotel. It was very lovely. The dining room was very good, but they're upgrading it. They've got a lot of things to do, all kinds of activities, and they also have aerobics.

My mother is in The Villages. They try hard to keep all the people happy, but I think they can use a little more staff. The rooms and the apartments are very nice, and the food is good. The people are very nice and courteous. There are a lot of people there, and they are kind of doing numerous jobs. I think it will be nice if they have one person that is kind of in-charge and monitoring how the residents are going along. If they have like a social worker that can talk to them, not necessary be taking care of their immediate needs like medicine, dressing or that kind of thing, but just their psychological needs or they are just concerned.

The Villages was way too big for a person that has memory care, and she got lost there. She wouldn’t even know how to get back to her room, but they were very nice, and they have three buildings.
