Assisted Living Communities in Nipomo, CA

"We had a very positive visit at Merrill Gardens. The staff was very pleasant, friendly, and knowledgeable. Everything was completely clean, there were no smells of any kind, and the food looked good. I think it was one of the nicest facilities I saw in that area."

"I'm enjoying Alder House. They take good care of me. There are many good caring workers here. They don't have anything beyond single rooms, but my room can accommodate all my furniture. They charge standard rate depending on the size of the room and not depending on the amount of care. They differ from other assisted living places. You pay a certain rate per month. It doesn't change except for a small change for inflation. That's an advantage here. I'm very satisfied with it. I have looked around to see if there are other things, and so far, it looks like I'm in a best place."

"Wydnham Residence is absolutely 5 stars definitely. I love the way that it is setup; they have multiple floors, they don’t have a wide range of levels of care -- but at the same time they were able to accommodate for a lot -- they’ll take somebody that's far more independent, and they have amenities for everybody. It’s almost like a fancy hotel, and the staff are some of the easiest people to work with. The administrator Barbara is definitely a personable person: very approachable, and very genuine. They are set up very functionally, the bathroom, the room and the spaces were all setup to accommodate a wide variety of patients. There was very good design planning in those rooms. "

"Aunt Carol's Place gave seniors exceptional care, but unfortunately is scheduled to close on October 3, 2019. We had a wonderful 81-year-old who had problems with thyroid, bi-polar and dementia. She was living alone and was abusing her medicines.... taking 30 days of sleeping pills in a 14 day period. Aunt Carol's Place under the leadership of Cristina Wilson got her back on a stable platform with regard to her medicines and it made a world of difference. We were so very sad to learn the home was closing because the standard of care was exceptional. Cristina Wilson has a very big heart and cares so very deeply for her residents, that she sometimes took in people who could not pay, which caused an occasional cash flow problem. Cristina Wilson and her staff are among the very best and the world is hurting with the loss of this wonderful facility. "

"Oak Park Manor graciously accepted and cared for my uncle in his last days. The staff and owner exceeded all of our expectations in giving him compassionate individualized care. We were so impressed by the staffs ability to gain his trust and provide for all of his needs and wants including a private room. My family and I enthusiastically recommend this facility and all of its providers. "

"My mom was at Hillview for two weeks but passed away. I found the people there to be very pleasant and caring. It’s a small facility, which is what I wanted. Basically, I was very happy with it; it was close to me, and I thought they did a good job. "

"I really liked everything about Magnolia, from the homey feel of it to the way that they treated the people to the rooms. However, my father is not ready to go into a retirement home yet. He was way sharper than anybody in there. If there would've been other people more at his level, it would've been different, but we're just not there yet. The dining room had a homey feel. The general atmosphere was great. They had outside activities and a little garden place where they could do gardening. They were doing activities inside to help with memory at the time I was there. "

"I thought AAA Kindness Care Home was a good place. I liked it and I was going to move my uncle there, but he started going downhill. I thought they were open to having different menus for the patients depending on their likes and dislikes, which is a definite plus. The staff seemed to be very compassionate and eager to take care of my uncle. The facility wasn't bad or exceptionally good, but one thing I liked about it was that, while with the other facility, we had to bring the bed, TV, and the dresser, Kindness Care Home provides all that, which is really, really nice. We would have to move him from his home like 200 miles away, and it would've been nice to be able to go into a home that was furnished, so that was good."

"I like the staff, the facility, and the care my uncle is getting at The Village. He has been there for two months, and I’m very happy with where he is now. He is safe there. "

"My friend went to a small facility called The Park Grove - San Luis Obispo. It was a 6-bed facility, and they were fantastic. Their assessment was excellent, and the care was above and beyond. It made her final days as comfortable as could possibly be made. A couple works there and runs the place, and I can't give them high enough regards. They were just so accommodating and so organized. They said if there was no news, it was good news, and if there was news, then they would text me. They had great communication skills and just fabulous. Everything about the facility was fantastic. They cook, and they do it all. They were just so dedicated. It made her transition as peaceful as possible. I went to four facilities in person and did a virtual tour of one, so a total of five, and Park Grove was the least expensive and had the most personal one-on-one care. I had such a good feeling from the owners that it was the best place for her that I could find."

"The facility was clean and the meals were wonderful and on time. The staff was professional. The rooms offered variety as far as living conditions and they were well furnished. The doctors and nurses were available. The medications were given as ordered. The garden area was well kept. The television was not too loud or on too long. The activities were well planned. This is a place that I would not be worried about placing one of my own family members. They are very nice to visitors and willing to answer questions. The location is quiet and peaceful, yet close enough to down town, the hospital and shopping. The residents were well cared for in my opinion. I also liked the fact that it was not too large. This way it was not noisy and the residents were not overwhelming for the staff. They did not loose items that belonged to the residents. "

"My sister has moved into Vista Rosa. My first impression was good. It's very nice. They have a beauty salon, and they can get their nails done. The staff are very nice. They're very expensive. I think they're the most expensive place in San Luis Obispo."

"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. "

"Fountain Square of Lompoc was very, very nice. The staff members were lovely people. I was hoping for a private room, and I think the only thing they have available is a shared room at this time. So it's okay, and that's going to work out."
