Michael was very thorough in showing me the features of the apartment complex, which highlighted many amenities, activities, events, fitness center and so much more for their residents. I met some of the staff and they were very welcoming and friendly. The building outside and inside was very well maintained. I cannot thank Michael enough for his expertise and patience in answering all my questions. Michael is a great asset to the Avila Senior Apartments team. I was very impressed with the entire tour from start to finish. Looks like a terrific place to live.

My 90 year old mom was a resident at Avila Assisted Living (The Manse On Marsh) for about 4 months…read more She a studio apartment to live in. To live at Avila Senior Living in a studio, the base rent was $5000+/month. Once set up, an assessment is done by a point system on the needs of the individual. Monthly care exceeded $7000+ a month. She lost 10 pounds the 1st week she was residing there. Mom had no room to lose weight. Because of her diet consistency Mom had to have her meals in a blended state like a smoothie. Doesn't seem too difficult, right? The would throw everything served blended in a single cup. Yes, a coffee cup. Salad and chicken and rice blended together in a coffee cup. No wonder mom was now under a 100 pound ( at 5'6) We even brought nut butters, and avocados and other high calorie/ fat foods. The chef always said "no problem". Mom has a large Oxygen apparatus to be used as needed. I came to visit, an ambulance and firetrucks were in the driveway, when I arrived for a visit. I went to the dining room to see mom. She was being loaded on a gurney due to low 02 and weakness. I asked If the care providers had assisted hooking her up to her machine. Nope. I asked the nurse and the care providers. Looking at me with dazed looks. I received several "I didn't know she had an 02 machine". Did I say she lived in a studio? The machine took up 1/2 the closet. She was helped getting dressed and undressed twice a day. Chose her clothes from the closet! Ok. Off to the hospital, we go. She is dehydrated and low 02. Assisted living...hmmm. My sis and I were in and out of Avila Supported Living several times a week. Having to sign in and out. Not one care provider, nurse or admin asked about how mom was doing. No communication, at all. 3 weeks in, The Manse, I mean Avila Senior Gardens informs everyone their license is not going to be renewed for assisted living. Not only mom, about 15 residents get notice to vacate. On to new, hopefully better places.

This is a very emotional review for me. My mother passed away on Sept. 15, 2012 from complications…read moreof Alzheimer's disease. For the last 2 years of her life she was blessed to live at the Hillside Villa Retirement Home in Arroyo Grande California which is near Pismo Beach. I had the pleasure of visiting her there 3 different times during this period (it's a long drive from San Diego!) and I was always amazed at how well she was treated by the staff. The building itself is literally a large home converted into a private health-care facility for women. The owner had parents with Alzheimer's and she wanted to provide a special place for patients suffering from this very debilitating disease. Her motives are all about helping and NOT about making money. This attitude prevails throughout the house and staff. She was so successful that she opened another facility nearby. Although Hillside can only house 6 patients (2 in each of the 3 bedrooms) there is a very spacious living room area for family visits. There is also a small outdoor patio area with seating adjacent to the kitchen. Also there exists another large room which has been setup with comfortable reclining chairs and a television to help pass the time. All meals are homemade and lovingly prepared by the wonderful young ladies who work on staff. The staff were always getting my mother to laugh with silly jokes and often kissed her forehead to greet the day. The patients there are basically getting 1 on 1 care which is literally unheard of these days. One of my visits there coincided with Thanksgiving, and another with Halloween. On both occasions, the house was adorned with festive decorations celebrating the holiday. The staff really REALLY cares about the patients, and they are all like family. It almost seemed unnatural to me to call them patients as it feels more like a home, and these gals are all roommates; kinda like the Golden Girls! The last visit with my mother was October 2011 to celebrate her 80th birthday. I was blessed to be accompanied by my Michael who was instrumental in helping with taking pictures; some of the last photos of my mom that exist while she was alive. Thank you honey I couldn't have done it without you! I want to personally thank the entire staff of Hillside Villa Retirement Home for the extreme professional way they lovingly cared for my mother Alice during the last few years of her life. I don't think she could have been in a better place. I miss you mom!
