Pacifica Senior Living

My mother has been living at Pacifica Hillsborough for almost four years. She moved there on [date removed], because she had mild dementia. She is now 92, in a wheelchair, and stays in the Legacies section. I appreciate how helpful the Pacifica staff has been in assisting me in finding hospice support for my mother. I also like how clean and beautiful the facility is. But I’m writing today to congratulate them on how they’re handling this virus crisis. I was told before I arrived (I called to check to see if they were allowing family members to visit) that only one person could visit at a time, and that person must stay in the resident’s room, not in the common areas. When I arrived this morning, Maintenance man [name removed] was spraying disinfectant on door knobs and around the door. I was screened, including with a no contact thermometer, before I was allowed to visit, and I saw extra sanitizer soap dispensers at the elevators and at the door leading to Legacies. When I returned home, I found a letter from Pacifica, explaining the new procedures. They’re doing an excellent job of protecting my mother and her neighbors during this health crisis.

I come to the facility to get me hair done each week. The beauty salon is always busy and lots of laughter going on. I also have many friends here I enjoy the visiting and having lunch with them. The kitchen staff reserves a table and makes us feel very important enjoy my visit each week.

Lots of activities. Great staff. Great facility.

I have been here since it opened and it gets better— activities excellent, dining room very nice, staff great, food good.

I have been to a lot of Senior Care Center's and Pacifica Senior Living surpasses them all. Friendly staff, Loving environment, Very CLEAN! I would definitely consider placing my loved one here.

My sister resides in the memory care portion of Atria at Rancho Penasquitos in San Diego. I visit her often and want to commend the staff of that facility. Our experience is new there, but so far it has been a good experience. I have lunch there with my sister when I can and am impressed with the food. Well balanced, a variety of dishes and very tasty.

Our family cannot say enough about the wonderful care my sister has received over the last 4 years. She has dimentia and is in the "secured" Fir cottage. The staff has ALWAYS been very caring and in good spirits, some have been with her for the entire time, which adds to her familarity and security. The management staff has alwasy been available for questions and assistance.

Under the expert supervision of [name removed] there is a team that really cares and often goes way beyond that which is required. They are: [name removed], [name removed], [name removed]. Backing up this great crew providing fresh linens are [name removed] and [name removed].

I am the guardian of a 92 year old woman who 5-6 years ago was an incredibly involved woman. She was involved in animal rights, a couple of lunch groups, books clubs; a very busy person. In the last 5-6 years, she had taken to her bed. The only times she would leave her bed was to eat and go to the bathroom. Caregivers were with her 24 hours a day, every day. The daytime women had to read to her all the time. Her mind was failing as well. The time came this year when her safety from night walking was becoming an issue. I looked at a couple of facilities with Memory Care units and decided on Pacifica Heritage Hills. The Memory Care unit has around 20 residents and enough staff so that there is almost individual care. The days are structured with a lot of activities such as, music, exercise, outings, theme days. The apartments are either 1 or 2 rooms and can certainly be made home-like. Each apartment has a shadow box that showcases that resident. The food is good; there are a couple of choices each meal. Staff is very caring and treats the residents with the dignity they deserve. All doors are locked except the one to the outdoor garden. Safety is of primary concern.

Just another great visit with pops today. The place is so clean smells good the staff are so inviting. My dad looks great he likes it there and most import he is getting the much needed care he deserves. I write to let people know , if they are looking for a place for their family, that they need not to look any further. Feel free to reach out to me. I will talk with you one on one. Thanks again. GREAT PLACE

I have been here for about 5 months and have found all staff most helpful, accommodating, & knowledgable in all capacities . Happy to say I have no complaints!

The staff at The Meridian is wonderful. Especially the Executive Director [name removed]. Very passionate about her residents and staff!

Very pleasant community. [Name removed] was great.

I put my mother in Pacifica in the fall, She has improved Enormously! She is up, using a walker, going to activities, eating and happy. Prior to going to Pacifica, she was barely walking, home bound, barely eating and unhappy with life, Her life is so much better then I ever imagined it would be. Everyone who sees her is amazed by the improvement. I know there would be activities at Pacific, but they are so many more then I knew. Everyday the residents are given a schedule of activities they can participate in, if they choose- exercise classes, learning classes, bus trips, bingo, happy hours, manicures, massages, movie nights, and more. The pricing is extremely reasonable compared to over facilities. It is a wonderful!!! I highly recommend Pacifica, Senior Living Vista. Wonderful director, nurses, and staff.

leisure ponite is a great place to place your love ones, special thanks to [name removed] for all her hard work in helping with my mom and being so caring. the staff is so wonderful.

A Place for Mom helped me find a wonderful home for my mother in just over a week. My father passed away rather suddenly and the idea of mom being home alone all day every day was a worry. But not for long. She is now very happy at Pacifica's Courtyard, thanks to A Place for Mom's help. She has made friends who have similar life stories and has the safety of loving care givers.

Moving my 93 year old aunt to assisted living was long overdue - she didn't want to live with "old people" and felt she was far more capable of living along than she really was. She had someone with her 10-4 on weekdays and more limited hours on the weekend but things came to a head when she started calling me over 50x per day "looking at the walls" in her apartment. Despite her protests, I helped her relocate to Atria Meridian. Her initial transition was quite challenging but I was amazed at how supportive the Atria Staff was - not just management but the daily care staff. I was in NY so managing the transition was difficult especially with my aunt occasionally calling "911" when she intended to call my "917" area code. The staff (and the in-house medical staff) was constantly open, warm, receptive and responsive. When I visited, I saw the activities in progress (despite my aunt having told me "they never do anything." Wine mixers (with diluted drinks), entertainers, community visitors, BINGO - a wide array of activities. And if she just wanted to sit, there's ALWAYS a group of residents either out front or in the beautiful lounge. And the physical building itself is like a really nice looking hotel. Upkeep is great and everything smells fresh. The place is really pretty and if I can share one example of how supportive the staff is; the dining room has three full meals a day with waiter/waitress service and a full menu. When my Aunt comes in to the dining room (which she calls the restaurant) they know she likes a Coke and there is always a Coke waiting for her when she sits down. Best move we ever made and...... we should have made it years ago when she would have been able to take care advantage of more of the benefits.

Such a beautiful facility.

I can't wait to live here!

The most wonderful, loving, care staff in the world. Sent from heaven!
