Pacifica Senior Living

They are going through some remodeling, however they do still keep the community clean. They offer daily activities and they pass out a sheet everyday letting the residents know what the activities of the day are. The food looks good and my father in law seems to like it. The staff are nice, patient and helpful.

My grandmother is doing very well. We love that she is getting great care by the great staff. They have a community that is always very clean. The activities are great for her. We highly recommend this community for others.

My mother has been living at the community and I feel that she is safe there. The care has been good for her. She likes the meals they serve. They keep the community clean and it looks very nice.

They did an excellent job with my tour. The plan and services are good. I just felt like they appeared more like a confinement and I didn't get a warm or a home feeling. To get through the room there were a few locks to pass by. It just was not a warm place but it was a fabulous tour.

My mother finally moved into atria after looking somewhere else and deciding against the place and after much trepidation. After about 3 weeks, she is still thrilled with her choice and could not be happier. The staff is amazing. I feel very comfortable having her live there where she is always taken care of, can get a meal delivered to her room when she does not feel like going to the dining hall, and can see a doctor regularly without driving somewhere. I finally have peace of mind.

We are very happy with the community and my brother is doing well with the help from the staff. We are happy with the staff too and they are doing their best at understanding him. The community seems to be clean all around and my dad's room. I have tried the meals and I think is was good and my dad likes it too.

For the most part it has been very good. My only complaint is the wait time when my mom needs help. They have a new staff to help and hopefully more are to come. Otherwise, the food is good and they have a hairstylist that everybody loves. She also loves bingo and went out to the casino. They also take her to the doctor for free. My mom really likes the set up with the pods. It allows her to not walk too far and get to know the other residents. Memory care is offered too.

The well balanced meals are ok most of the time. The chef is great and the desserts are fantastic. I like to participate in quit a few of the various daily activities they offer. They celebrate birthdays and other events within the community. I do not think you could find a more caring or genuine staff.

We are pretty happy with it so far. It meets our needs. We have had a couple of administrative tweaks, but that is to be expected, getting cable set up, and a couple of clerical errors. People seem to be pretty friendly, both the staff and the residents. One of the main reasons I chose them was because they were very down to earth, friendly, and not pushy. There was never any pressure. They knew what to do to get everything set up, so I needed to not worry. Their prices were very competitive too.

Our family is so grateful for the blessing of Pacifica Senior Living. The community is not only clean and safe, the staff is kind and caring. Knowing that our loved one is cared for in such a special way brings a real sense of peace to us. Residents are treated with respect and care at all levels. The family is not left out of the equation either. Patty Roach and the rest of the staff have been exceptional in assisting us in every way. Any time I have a question or concern it is addressed and answered on the spot. If something comes up regarding a change in condition, I get a call immediately. No detail is too small to matter. There is a beauty shop on premises, where Nina works magic for the residents. She is so kind and caring. The weekly visits to the salon are a social experience as well as a boost to self-esteem. The rooms are clean and cheerful. There is never an un pleasant odor to be found. The laundry is done on time and finds its way back to the proper owner without delay. The bathrooms are always clean and are designed especially for those who have mobility issues. The meals are tasty, nutritious and served on time. Daily activities as well as outings make daily life much more than just an existence. When looking for a “facility” I found lots of clean and safe options. However, they seemed to be more of an institution than a community. Pacifica memory care offers the best life for dementia victims than any other place I saw. If your loved one needs memory care and keeping them at home is not an option, then I believe that Pacifica Senior Living in Riverside is the best place to be. Dementia is a chaotic evil, it steals away dignity and quality of life. Pacifica restores as much normalcy as possible for it’s residents, in a clean safe and loving environment.

Pacifica is a beautiful facility with a diverse, friendly staff. My mother is in a special section called "Transitions," which is appropriate for her. She is not competent enough for Assisted Living but too competent for standard Memory Care facilities. I don't think there are too many activities for the folks in that section. The televisions seemed to always be turned to the same old movies.

Everyone there has been very gracious and kind to my mother and my husband and I during this transition. They have given me helpful suggestions and have helped me to understand more about how to deal with someone having mild dementia. She has met many lovely and delightful residents and enjoys all the activities The Courtyard provides for everyone. The meals are wonderfully prepared and delicious! We are very pleased with our choice, my mother deserves the best and I feel this is the best place for her and for her care.

Overall, very good first impression. Spacious, well designed facility. Friendly staff. Good food. We have yet to participate in activities as we are still in the process of downsizing and moving in some of our belongings... All the neighbors, that we had a chance to meet, speak very favorably and like the Villa....

My mother really loves this community and we are very pleased with our choice to move her here. This is a wonderful community with a happy atmosphere. The community looks great and very clean. The staff is very helpful and kind. They offer plenty of activities for the residents to stay busy with. My mother loves the meals and she is really happy here. I have already recommended this community to my family.

Things are going very good with my Aunt at Atria North Escondido. The staff has been excellent. She has no complaints about the food. In the mental care unit, there are not many activities.

Moving in can be a little confusing, you have to cordinate with several different people but everyone is very very nice and my grandmother after two weeks is very very happy. it was a really good move for her she enjoys the afternoon activities and thinks that she eats too much which makes us happy. The courtyard garden is her favorite place in the afternoon and it's very safe

REVIEW Meridian at Lake San Marcos is a great place. While any place can be better overall this is a wonderful place. I have read some negative reviews and would like to say the following: I have lived here for a year and a half and have seen steady improvement. Some people are unhappy. That expect or wish they had their own personal made,butler and caregiver. If that is what they want then they should expect to pay for it. If they want a great place and are willing to share caregivers with hundreds of others which means having some patience then The Meridian is a great place to pick. I have had caregivers get me up between 6:30-6::45 for about a half a year. I go to therapy and need to get up early. On the days I call my rush days I get served very promptly. If I have any problems the staff can't fix then Susan, the executive director will always help. This is not needed often as the staff can take care of most things. Getting old is no fun with anyone. Some people angel it better then others. When you leave your home and come to an assisted living place adjustments need to be made and you are not the king any longer but here at The Meridian they treat you like a Prince or Princess. There are many of us here and we need to learn how to share. A happy person at The Meridian at Lake San Marcos.

The review about the staff not caring must be a one time bad experience or a lie. I have lived here for over a year and expierenced the opposite. Every problem, and they have been few, was taking care of in a timely matter by a wonderful staff that cares a lot. I can only think the problem that was upsetting was a mis-communication. I would feel happy to recommend this place and the person that reads my recommendation will see me everyday and that is not worrisome at all to me. Every place is not perfect but The Meridian comes close. Older people complain lots of time when there is nothing to complain about. This is done by seeing or perceiving that is not there and I think this may be one of those times. Feel at ease in picking The Meridian as your final stop and you will be glad you did as the meals are wonderful and so is the staff.

I've been here at BXT for 1-1/2 mos and my overall experience has been very positive. The staff personell seem to be very capable, curteous and prompt in satisfying the needs of the residents. I've been especially impressed with the maintenance response In fixing problems occurring in my apartment. The food menu is nourishing and well selected and and its preparation very good. Residents are very friendly and willing to help new arrivals. Billing is straight forward and more than competative with the going market.

The staff here is very helpful and attentive. The facility is always clean and the other residents are very nice. There are quite a few activities for the residents to get involved in if they so choose. The food is good here too.
