The Best Senior Living Communities in Morro Bay, CA

"Two months ago, my husband and I moved in at Southbay Maxi Care. It's a small facility but everything is pretty good. The staff are really fine and they seem to do their best. The food is not wonderful, but it's alright. One thing that we don't like it here though is that we're not allowed to cook. We have a common microwave in the facility which everyone uses to reheat food. "

"My mom lived at Paradise Valley Care for three years. I moved her there from a facility which had little interaction between staff and resident. Paradise Valley was completely different. Mom and I know all the caregivers by name. They are consistently helpful and compassionate. The med techs inform me of any change in Mom’s health. I have never visited when she was not dressed and clean; and I visit quite a lot. I would definitely recommend Paradise Valley to anyone who desires full and compassionate care for their loved one."

"A Touch Above Care is a small boarding care home with only 6 residents, and there are not a whole lot of amenities. They have a very caring staff, and they're really taking good care of my mom. We're much happier here than where we were before. I think this place is great. It is very clean and beautiful, located way out in the country up in the hills, quiet with beautiful views, and very nice. They serve all home-cooked meals, and Mom is really happy with the food. There is a sun room where they do activities, crafts, and puzzles. There is also a patio where the residents can go out to. They also have cats, dogs, and a parrot. The place is well maintained."

"I was able to tour The Villages San Luis Obispo, CA for independent living. It also has assisted living and memory care. Of all the places we visited, this was our favorite, it was beautiful. It didn't feel like you're in an assisted living place when you walk in, it's open and airy. It has two swimming pools, and the downstairs apartments have little patios with their own little picket fences that have an entrance. So it's just adorable and it's very charming. The person who gave us the tour was very personable, very informative, very happy to be there, and enjoys her job. She was wonderful. The apartment was very roomy and nice, they're older but they're doing updates and they're very accommodating. We had lunch there and it was excellent. The people that live there have a community garden, there were lots of areas to walk around. It's very close to businesses, you can walk outside and turn right and go to a store or whatever you would need. People were swimming in their two pools, it was great."

"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. "

"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 dad felt that Atascadero Christian Community was a little too rural for him. It's a very nice facility, but a little too country for him. The rooms were nice and clean but a bit older-looking. I talked with one lady there who had her place fixed up cute, and she even had a little patio area that she could go and sit out on. Because it was a little more country out in that area, she was able to see wildlife go by and she seemed like a very happy, upbeat, friendly person and dressed quite nicely, too. The place was just a little bit more old-fashioned. People were very friendly, and I've heard very good things from other families who have loved ones there. It seemed nice. People were very wonderful and caring about the people who lived there. It's just very easy-going, country style. They had group activities. "

"The Ingleside team is taking great care of my mom. She has alzheimers which is advancing, but she is happy there as "the people are nice, the food is good, and they keep me busy." The facility is clean and the food is the best I've seen at the several facilities she's lived in. I highly recommend this faciity for a loved one with memory care needs. "

"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."

"My friend was at Danish Care Center for a couple of months for rehab. They did the job, and the people were very friendly and very willing to help any way they can. Everything was really good. They just need to figure out the cracks in communication from one department to the other, as far as doctors' appointments and coordinating transportation, and communication in general from the nurses' station to the transportation person. We had a few challenges with that."

"My mother stayed at San Luis Transitional Care for several months. I love that place. The rooms entered onto a center open area/common area, so that if you're in your room, you could still be in the main part of the facility and shut your door if you wanted. There was a roommate situation. It had outdoor patios on each room, so that I could take her out and you could sit outside and go for walks on their concrete walkways and wheelchairs and walkers were very easily used. There was a big glass door in each room. There were two main areas on either end and then the nursing staff was in the middle. They had physical therapy every day except for Sunday and dog and cat groups visited. They had bingo and activities in the evening after dinner. They had special movie nights with popcorn, and Sundays they had ice cream day. Ahead of time you could order lunch and eat with your parents. I had an issue with one of the nurses; she was not happy with the fact that I was calling so often and interrupting her rounds and she would not call me back. They got annoyed with me. I liked the building itself because it wasn't big. They're only a 50-patient facility, so it makes it easier for the nursing staff to give more time and more attention. They had someone who fell and hit their head and had to go to the hospital, but their nursing staff was spread so thin."

"My mother was in a smaller facility which wasn't working out so when we found Park Place and met the owner and administrator we knew right away we had found the perfect fit. She had a beautiful large private room and was allowed to keep her dog there. So far we have no complaints about the staff or the meals. Park Place rates an A+ in my book."

"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. "
