"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. "

"AAA Kindness Care Home is a nice facility. It was a very homey and very nice place. They were one of the best ones I've ever had a tour with. I observed the dining area, but did not taste their food. It was a very nice area. The staff seemed to be very caring there. They were very good."

"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."

"My dad moved into Wyndham Residence. It’s very nice, very comfortable, and home like. It’s not like a fancy 5-star hotel and more like a home. The people at Wyndham Residence are above and beyond anything I’ve ever experienced before. They’re wonderful. The food is excellent and the chef actually makes a point of coming and asking my dad what he would like him to order from the supplier and how he would like it cooked."

"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. "

"We liked the Fountain Square of Lompoc. The staff was nice and the facility looked really nice. They were very good, very accommodating. It seemed like they really were helpful. It looked like they did a really good job wanting to take care of the residents."

"Providing this service to my mom and others is a huge task..and the staff does a very caring job...nothing is perfect but we are happy for the care mom gets and the enviornment she is in...thanks again"

"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.
