We've found Pacifica Senior Living here in Bakersfield, and my mother-in-law is going to their assisted living this week. We were able to see it and talk with people there.
I've talked to several of the staff. They were all fine, giving us lots of different information and showing us around. My husband and I talked to several different people and because of that, you'll hear one thing from one person and then another thing with the other person. Not everyone knew all the same things. We got some information that was inaccurate, but they quickly corrected that. It wasn't that big of a deal, but I'm giving them 4 stars for that. Just maybe work the communication a little bit so everybody knows the same stuff to tell people.
The rooms seemed really nice. They're actually remodeling one of them, and we're going to get that one for my mother-in-law. It was free for a little while, in between residents living there while they remodeled it. It looks really nice. It's nice that they have individual rooms there.

I’ve personally interacted with one or more personnel that have been a little rude and or snotty. I know my friend says she has dealt with the same. In addition, one of her complaints is the food. Basically, all residents eat the same thing whether they like it or not. I think there should be a second choice if someone doesn’t like what’s on the menu. For example I don’t like nor eat fish so if I was living there I would go hungry which my friend says happens often. Maybe, something simple could be offered as an alternative. I know the residents are paying a great deal of money, shouldn’t they be able to have a little variety/selection when it comes to their meal choices? Community is nice, however I think more activities would be great.

Pacifica offered my mother a safe, friendly place to live. Each staff member was very kind and they took the time to develop a relationship with my mother that made her feel she was always among friends. The activities not only kept her busy but they brought her joy. They were careful to administer the correct medications at the appropriate times and they were attentive to her health needs. Pacifica was responsive to her needs as they changed without making her feel embarrassed or awkward. They welcomed her home when she came back from the hospital on hospice and treated her with love and dignity. We appreciate this unique setting and highly recommend Pacifica.

Pacifica has been really great. They have been wonderful with my grandma, and she can be difficult. She's there for almost a year now. The food is wonderful. They have so many activities. It's better than I ever expected it to be, because she really didn't want to go. So I'm really happy that it turned out to be much better than we expected. She's so comfortable now that she'd rather stay there for the holidays than go the family's house. She would rather us come there, so now I spend the holidays with her there.
She loves bingo, she does sometimes the sit and step exercise, and other days when I got there they were doing some kind of cooking in one of their little rooms. They also do coloring and do potted plants thing. Just about everything. She would also participate in church. She's way more active now. I haven't had any problems with any of the staff. They have all been so great. The food is amazing. She's a picky eater, but she has eaten so well since she's gotten there. I usually go and have one there almost every day. She usually eats everything, and we finally got some weight on her.
The place is always super clean. The outside is beautiful and the inside is always clean and decorated for the holidays. She likes what they have going on. I speak to all the other people that go in there too because there's quite a few other daughters and people who come in and have lunch, and we all feel the same way. It's a great facility. It really is.

My father is at Pacifica Senior Living. I like its small size, the sense of community, and the staff. The staff is caring, lighthearted, and well-suited for the work. The rooms are clean, well-kept, and very nice. They have an array of activities both in the community and field trips. They keep them very active.

Pacifica Senior Living was beautiful. My aunt and I went there to observe and the staff was very nice. They had a dining room and they brought cookies and coffee. The rooms were very nice. They had activities like bingo, lessons and someone played the piano. The reason why I didn't choose them was because they didn't have after memory care. They had a memory care but it was in a separate building.

My mom is in Pacifica Senior Living Bakersfield. We're happy with it. We looked all over and that's the one that we like best. We just like the way they diagnosed my mom and just the way they were, the people in general. For us, this place was a better fit for my mom. It is just a nice facility. She has been there since September. The staff is wonderful. Overall, they're exactly what we needed and they're doing a wonderful job. We have no complaints about them whatsoever.

My dad is very happy in Pacifica Senior Living Bakersfield. Everything is good and he likes it there. It has a very friendly environment. He likes the food and he eats all the time. They have all kinds of different activities. They even have little buses to take them out sometimes. He has a one-bedroom apartment and it has plenty of room for him. It is just kind of an open bedroom with a nice big closet. It has plenty of space for his bed and his wheelchair that I got for him. He also has a little kitchen area with a microwave and a small refrigerator. The bathroom is really huge. It has all the seating and everything. He likes his apartment. What I like best about this facility is the management and the staff. I'm very satisfied with them. They are really helpful and friendly. They keep a good eye on him and check on him a lot. They would call me if something is not right. They make sure that all of his medications and everything is going all right. They will make copies of his medications for us every time he has a doctor's appointment just to make sure that we double check. They make sure he goes down and eats. They also keep his room nice and clean. They're just great. I would definitely recommend this place.

My mom tells me every time I see her that they treat her really good. She eats well and they really push fluids so the residents don’t get dehydrated. My moms short term memory is zero but can still play the piano like she did years ago. Pacifica is truly amazing. I have not met a staff member that does not show compassion.

Pacifica has good programs in place to care for the residents, communicate with the families, and interface with outside health care providers. When your loved one first arrives here it is confusing and maybe frightening for both the resident and the family. Trust the Pacifica system to overcome these hurdles; everyone will feel at home in no time at all. We have been using memory care for about four (4) months now and have found the staff to be wonderful.
