As a guest of residents at Las Brisas, I'm confident that over time this place will begin feel like…read morea comfortable home for them. Residents claimed a one-bedroom apartment in an ideal spot, with quiet neighbors and extra spaces for an office and other necessities. It seems like they've already made a number of acquaintances that, hopefully, will become friends in time. One of the aspects of Las Brisas that I appreciate is the 24/7 on-call remote service and GPS-activated signalling device that works anywhere in the country. Having seen first-hand how quickly medical emergencies can turn into live-threatening situations, having a service that a resident can call, if only for comfort until help arrives or for help with a minor inconvenience (locked out, for example) gives friends and family of residents higher confidence in the safety and security of the resident. Residents also appreciated the nation-wide network of apartments owned by the same company that operates Las Brisas. With a network of family and friends around the country and a lifelong love of travel, residents may elect to take advantage of the opportunity to stay at another Holiday property without additional charge should they chose to do so. The management staff really seem to go out of their way to make residents feel like they are part of a community and a welcoming space. Staff have been quick to address maintenance calls from residents. Dorothy, the general manager, cultivates a space where family and friends of residents feel they can visit (and occasionally dine with residents during meal times) without feeling awkward. I especially like that residents can join in on weekly excursions to places around the Central Coast. Las Brisas seems to really emphasize residents not staying in their apartments all the time and encourages interaction. Meals seem to be nutritious and portioned perfectly for the majority of residents who may not be as active as they once were. While pre-made to a point, staff and kitchen were more than willing to make some simple substitutions and, with advanced notice, will attempt to make more complicated adjustments to dietary needs of residents. Meals included a variety of proteins, vegetables, and starters (like bread and soup or salads) with diverse dressings and menus to meet diverse needs. The grounds seem to be well-kept, with greenery and fountains seemingly in good repair. While the recycled air in the lobby does seem stale at times, and the carpeting might do well with an upgrade, the open space makes the building seem welcoming and larger than it is. The staff are always near the entrance so residents and guests can find someone to speak with if there is an issue. The library space has card tables and ample reading material while the activities room has a number of diverse hobbies, films, and other activities (guided or unstructured) for residents to take advantage of. With several choices for senior independent living on the Central Coast, I feel like one would find a solid choice in Las Brisas.

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 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.

Finding a place like Bob & Corky's was an answer to prayer. All the staff were competent, patient, helpful, and very accommodating about visiting times. Providing round-the-clock care can be an arduous task, but you wouldn't know it when seeing everyone's positive attitude. Joel and company also did a good job of providing activities, walks, and outings, calibrated to each resident's personality and physical abilities. I have a relative who has run several board and care homes, so he knows all the things to look for, both good and bad. He gave Bob & Corky's top marks when he visited. Based on my experience, I would recommend them without reservation.

Our donations apparently paid for a lot of personal expenses and for the family to move to Texas right before Wilshire's collapse in August.
