Last Updated: 2/21/25

If you’re considering moving your loved one into a Surf nursing home, our senior living advisors can help.

Avila Senior Living at Downtown SLO in San Luis Obispo, CA
4.6

I would recommend Avila Senior Living at Downtown SLO. It's a small community feel. If you want extra special food, it may not meet your wants. But the food is cooked fresh and is planned by a nutritionist. You need patience waiting for food to be served sometimes. All of my needs are met and I feel safe.

The Village At Sydney Creek-The Villages in San Luis Obispo, CA
4.5

They have a high level of Alzheimer's care at The Village. My grandpa was doing well after he moved in. The staff were friendly and encouraged him to participate in the activities. He made some new friends during his short time at this community.

The Oaks at Nipomo
4.9

I was looking for a place for Dad when he started to need more care with ADLs and becoming more confused. And also looking for a higher standard of professionalism. Dad feels cared for and loved at the memory care unit at the Oaks. In his last residence Dad did not participate in the activities and was isolated in his room. He is starting to come out and join some of the activities now and become more social. The on-site therapy group is really doing a great job and Dad is safer on his walker now and getting in and out of the car and chairs more safely. I really like the communication system. When they know I’m coming to take Dad somewhere they take care to make sure he is ready to go. Raquel, the director, does a real good job. She is available to talk to me about Dad and really helpful. The staff appear well-trained and all are genuinely loving toward my Dad and others. They invite family to celebrations and special fun activities. I highly recommend the Oaks at Nipomo.
