The staff here at Avila Senior Living at Downtown SLO has been incredible. My grandmother can be challenging at times, yet the staff continues to be caring and compassionate. I looked at many places and am convinced I made the right choice. I would not hesitate to recommend Avila Senior Living at Downtown SLO to a friend or relative who is looking for senior living.
