8 Independent Living Communities in San Luis Obispo County, California

P.D.

We went to Las Brisa. We spoke to Jack, he's very knowledgeable, very present in the conversation, and considerate in what qualifications or requirements you need. I thought the facility was in a beautiful, park-like setting, 'cause there were trees all around it, there was a walkway that goes around it, and my daughter and I both felt very positive about that location. I saw the rooms, a couple of different options are available, and they also showed us the amenities within the building, and it's just beautifully done. They have a library, a beauty salon, a nice dining area with a very pretty view, big windows, they have an activities area where they show movies. They do have outside drive arounds for the people right now. It's difficult because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but normally they have different areas where they take the residents if they sign out and around on different car trips.

Las Brisas left a good impression on me. I liked what they showed me and the conversations that we had. It was nice, they knew what they were talking about, and very knowledgeable. It felt in between homey and an institution.

My mother is in Las Brisas. They're very kind and friendly, and the food seems good. It's a nice place. They have arts and crafts, bingo, laundry, and transportation services. They're very good in bringing the food to her room. It's very nicely set up, it's really pretty, and the people are happy there. It's independent living, and the price is reasonable for what you get. It's very clean, but I wish the doors were wider. We couldn't get my mother's couch in because the door was too narrow, and the elevator was also just too small to get it in.

Creston Village was really nice and great, and my mom really enjoyed it there. It's a bigger facility so there's a wide range of people. At the time, my mom was able to do the activities, which she really enjoyed. She played bingo, and she liked the music they had once a week and exercise classes. The place was clean. The staff was great with her, knew her by name, greeted her, and were very friendly. They had a really pretty courtyard at the center of the place. We enjoyed taking my mom out there on nice days. She was able to have her dog there also.

My mother is at Las Brisas, and it's a wonderful place to live. We've had a great experience with the management, the volunteers that worked on the place, and the staff. They have amenities and activities. They celebrate holidays, they have day trips to a variety of places that are interesting and cover a huge variety of interests and abilities. Some activities involve shopping, others points of interest, and some have things they can learn from the area. They have exercise activities, lots of musical activities, and I think they capture a lot of people's interests. They also have a library full of all kinds of books. It's an awesome facility. It looks new, but I know it's several years old, and anything that's broken is fixed and repaired quickly. If somebody needs some help, this is a friendly, pleasant place to live where you can still have privacy and also meet friends.
