Pacifica Senior Living

Atria Rancho Park is a lovely facility in a quiet community. The room are spacious and comfortable. Every one at the facility is friendly and address the residents by their names. There are a wide variety of activities to choose from for the residents.

It's wonderful. The food isn't always the best, it could use a little improvement. The staff is amazing, from the people in the office, in the dining hall, the maid service, all of them are just amazing!!

Wonderful tour. We loved this place. I would live here if I needed an independent living place. Too costly for mom, who will not need care until she needs to go into a memory care unit ($6,000.00 to $9,000.00 per month). This would be a good place for residents whose children live far away. The neighborhood is not one I would want to go through at night time, so visits would be limited to daylight hours. Food is magnificent (former head chef from Monarch Place - cruise ship chef).

Very nice fit for my Mom, size & $$ were what we need, will be revisiting later this week

We were very pleased with this community! It was very nice and clean looking, and all of the employees were friendly and caring. They were one of the few places we looked at that were able to work with a hospice waiver, and the community worked very well with the hospice service in general. I liked the layout here, the assisted living is all in the same general area, no spread out over multiple floors, so the staff are always nearby and response times are fast. The apartments here were a bit bigger than other places we looked at, and they all had balconies which was nice. This was also one of the most affordable places we looked.

We toured or visited 13 other facilities, before SHE decided on going back to re-visit The Cherry Hills Club. FIRST impressions upon Investigation: Safe, Bright, Cheery, Friendly Folks (both employed and living there), lovely Clean Grounds, Delicious Food with Lovely Smiling Servers, Professional Nursing Staff, No Permanent Bad Smells, Beautiful Vistas, Adequate Airy Floor Plans, Affordable Pricing, Ability to Age "In Situ". SECOND Impressions after 4 Weeks: ALL of the Above Plus.

It's been good. They are clean and friendly. The food is very good. I really can't complain about anything, they are very good. The grounds are nice and they are pet friendly, which is why I chose them over others I saw.

They are very friendly! There have been some adjustments on the price, but they seem to be very aggressive in accommodating my mother. My brother and his son live in the City and they seem to be pleased - I've heard no complaints. My mother is very social and she's interfacing with a lot of folks, doing activities, and as your world is closing in on you, that's all you could hope for. It's her money, so might as well use it to pay for the Hilton!

Emeritus at Skylyn Place was unknown to me as I could not find it on the Web, but A Place for Mom found it for me. I am very pleased with my new location.

The staff is friendly as are the other tenents. The food is excellent. We have only been here a week but it looks like we are going to enjoy it.

This is a definite NO. This is a beautiful facility. Very friendly, the residence seem very happy. Very clean, no smell, the rooms are wonderful. However it is very expensive and they have nothing available within our price range.

It felt more homey and less like a hotel or apartment building. It had some grass and patios and porches. It is older so it is laid out more single story with porches rather than apartments with balconies.

Excellent, beyond belief excellent. My mother is 89, but she's a very active 89-year-old. She likes to play shuffleboard, and they have a lot of good things and activities. She has been there a couple months and I've heard nothing but praise. She likes the fact that what she has been promised has come true. The maintenance has been fantastic. She is not able to drive, but the bus service that they have is enough to do her shopping. She does most of her own cooking, but she gets a couple of meals a month. She has invited my wife and I to come over for dinner a couple times, and we love the food! I encountered the administration first, and they have been very helpful and accommodating. Overall it's been a pleasant experience and I would recommend it to anyone!

My dad was here for a really long time. We thought that was a really good place. He was in independent living, and he only left to go to assisted living. Forest Trace is very well run. They provided two meals a day, and they did have care available on site if you needed it.

We love it! They did an assessment free of charge. Between my mom's physician report and their assessment they determined that she should be in the memory center. It's a lock down facility with very limited social interaction. The other people had advanced Alzheimer's and were uncommunicative. It was very stressful because my mother's dementia only affects part of her life. Otherwise she is very cognizant of everything. We petitioned the director to have her reassessed within a week. He personally took charge of her case and said as long as we feel she's not a danger to herself or other he would do everything in his power to get her into the general population. In 3 weeks she was moved to the best room in the whole facility. It's closes to where she's around other caregivers, right down the hall from the lobby, community room, and dining room. They do everything in their power to make her feel comfortable and the price went down 60%! Nobody does that! They provide transportation to doctor's appts but if you need to be wait for you or something, that would be an added cost. When I was out of town for a month they have sent someone in with her at all 6 PT appts to sit and wait for her and never charged me a cent! They treat my mother like family. They don't have all the bells and whistles that some other places have but my mom doesn't need all that. They are family oriented. You never see the director in his office. He's always out and about. He's totally accessible. We had a billing problem with the insurance company. He called the insurance company himself and he found out what the problem was which wasn't even on his end. He went the extra 20 miles to contact the insurance company instead of just saying the problem wasn't on their end. They are absolutely amazing so we are just thrilled to death.

Emeritus is set up with six to eight different cottages, with eight rooms per cottage. They all have single rooms, and just one that is a locked dementia unit. The rest have beautiful grassy areas and covered porches. They have nice handicap accessible private bathrooms in each room. There is a group dining room and kitchen at one end of each cottage and big living room with a fire place at the other end of the cottage. In between there is the nurses station an medicine cart. There are probably 45-65 residents total. The dementia unit it has an outdoor courtyard with landscaped walkways they can walk around. It is safe and locked. This is a really nice plus, especially for those that wander.

My friend likes Pacifica very much. It is an excellent place. They have seven different units and place the residents in units according to their ability. There are only seven residents in my friend's unit. They all eat in the dining room. There is also an rec room for activities. There is a nurse on staff 24/7. For the price, you can't beat it.

A Place for Mom was instrumental in our family finding The Arbors Assisted Living in San Diego. Our dad has been in The Arbors for about 3 weeks now but we have worked with The Arbors for a few months getting everything lined up. We are very happy with The Arbors. It is a great place and the staff is fantastic. Thank you "A Place for Mom" AND "The Arbors"!

My mother's only been there two weeks but so far it's great. The cost includes rent, all utilities, meals and everything so it's very affordable. It's not assisted living. Basically you go and rent a house, not an apartment, but a separate house and it's a nice house too. They provide dinner every night, lunch on Saturdays and brunch on Sundays. Mom has her own kitchen so she can cook for herself and that's working out really well. They have tons of activities. They have a bible study which she likes. They have wood working shop, crafts, which she's totally in to, bridge, and canasta. I highly recommend it! Their dining room is very nice, like a high class restaurant and the food is great. They have a very good chef. From the cleaning ladies to the maintenance people, everybody is just so nice!

It's wonderful! Of course the value is relative to the income of the person. It's expensive I think, considering the retirement that people have but for the money the care is good. It's good that my mother-in-law is mobile so she doesn't really need a lot of care right now but if she needs care it is available so that's good. It works out very well. There are plenty of activities and that's what we were looking for. I have recommended it to a lot of other families that I know. I think from what I know, my MIL only has one complaint. Out of all the ladies that help her in the morning one of them is very rough and unfriendly. It's just that one that she ever complains about.
