Promises, promises, and promises. My mother was there approximately 1 year at this facility. Too MANY promises were made to us when we toured the facility with Stacie.
1. We do weekly laundry. No you don't. Her comfortable was never washed as I found out 4 months after.
2. Daily activities always: Really? Every time we went to Legacies, they were ALWAYS watching TV.
3. At least 3-4 caregivers working per shift. Not really, cause most Sunday's there's was only 1 or 2 working at the time. Sometimes the med tech was there alone.
I also didn't like the fact that all the "DIRECTORS" of the facility only work Monday to Friday. Someone of the "DIRECTORS" should be during the weekends as there were too many residents fighting and yelling and 1 caregiver (the med tech) was unable to handle it.
Hopefully, by now you guys have fixed the leaky water hose valve that leaked for over 6 months by sidewalk near the trash binders.
On the positive side, there were at least 5 caregivers out the 12 in Legacies, that really care and went up and beyond in making sure the residents were well taken care of. The others were there simply collecting a paycheck.

My Father was in Pacifica Senior Living Chino Hills, It was the most kind, caring, thoughtful, loving environment. From the very first phone call, they were so helpful and made us feel they cared. They made an uncomfortable feeling of putting someone in a home to a wonderful one, for my father and our family

Pacifica Senior Living Chino Hills is a very nice community, but it feels a bit tight, and we wanted something a little bit larger in the way of rooms and stuff like that if we're going to be there. That was the only downfall. Otherwise, they have very pleasant people, and they have very nice facilities overall. The 1-bedroom apartment was just too small, and they need to have larger 2-bedrooms if they expect couples to go there. It's wonderful and great for one person, but for 2 people, there's just not enough room.

We went to Pacifica (Pacifica Senior Living Chino Hills) in Chino. I really like the place. The only issue with this is that my in-laws would have been on the second floor, and the elevator was pretty far from their room. Other than that, the meals are included, there’s doctor’s appointments, and they have an onsite doctor. I felt like they had a good list of activities like going shopping, hobby lobby, and the casino. We were really happy with this place, but the only drawback was the distance from the room to the elevator. That’s the only drawback; otherwise, the place is great.

Pacifica seemed nice and the right fit. It's close to my home and just seemed like a clean and nice place. I only met the person who gave the tour, and she seemed knowledgeable and was able to provide the information that we're looking for.

Pacifica Senior Living was my favorite. The staff was very knowledgeable, friendly, and followed up, but I just can’t afford it. They had a very nice companion room, which is kind of a shared room with a wall in-between the two beds.

Pacifica Senior Living Chino Hills was nice. The staff was great, very knowledgeable, very accommodating, and answered all of my questions. They had a whole calendar of events. They even had menus for the different restaurants and the food that they offer. They do bingo, trips out to casinos, and different classes that you could take. They actually let us go into a couple of different residents' places, and the residents were really nice. They allowed us to look around, and it was very nice. The staff knew all of the details, and for every question we asked, she had the answer. That was really good.

At Pacifica Senior Living Chino Hills, the staff was really friendly. But I wasn’t as impressed with the memory care unit. It seemed dark and isolated and it didn’t smell good. I didn’t like the rooms. They have people sharing a one-bedroom apartment that didn’t live together. It was like unrelated family members splitting a one-bedroom apartment where one person got a bedroom and another person got the living room and then they shared the bathroom. They showed me the activities and they seemed pretty comparable to the other facility as far as what they offered. When I got there, it just happened to be lunchtime. Most of the people were eating so no one was involved in any activities, so I couldn’t see them in action. The dining room was depressing.

We also made many other improvements to our community and would like to invite you back for a free tour to see how we have changed for the better. We look forward to hearing from you.

My dad is in Pacifica Senior Living Chino Hills. It is very clean. The staff is very friendly and very accommodating, and when my dad moved in, they made sure he felt comfortable. We are very happy with the facilities themselves and with the activities, too. They have three meals a day and take very good care of him, so we are very happy with what we have. I think the accommodations are perfect, and the staff goes above and beyond in making sure that my dad feels comfortable and a part of the community.

We visited Pacifica for my parents. I met lot of the staff who were caring, young girls. It’s a very nice, clean, and tidy community. While I was there, they had two housekeepers who were vacuuming early in the morning. They were cleaning the floors before everybody was basically up and moving around. The activity director is an outstanding woman. She was putting up all of the activities on the bulletin board, which looked very nice. The food was very good. The rooms were a little small but nice and clean and smelled fresh.

My mom is living at Pacifica Chino Hills, and the community is very nice. It's very well furnished, and it doesn’t have odor or smell like most senior communities do. It's just very pleasant for the family to visit. We like the staff. My mother does not like the food there, and that is about the (only) complaint we have. But other than that, it is fine. Her apartment is very spacious. It's a one-bedroom with a large bath and a small kitchenette. The living room is large, which is good because she is in a wheelchair. They have a lot of activities, but my mother-in-law is blind, so she can't participate in a lot, but they try to accommodate her and make larger bingo cards for her so she could play bingo. They give us a calendar with all the activities, like holiday events. They include the family.

We've also visited Pacifica for my mother-in-law. The staff seemed fine. The place and the dining room were nice and bright. The exercise room though was very small. I don't remember much about the rooms, and overall, the whole place did not leave any impression on me.

Jeanette6, we're disappointed to hear of the negative experience you had at our location.
