My mother resided here for 15 years. The staff provided excellent support to her through out her years here. They always were responsive to my questions and concern whenever they arose. All were a part of my mother and family in her declining years.

Pacifica Senior Living Hemet is very good and I'm very happy with their services. They're very good with my mother. The people are very attentive and help my mom a lot. They have exercise programs, Bingo, excursions on a bus, and various other activities. The dining area is very nice, clean, neat, tidy, and organized. The food looked very good and my mom really enjoys it.

I visited this facility

I like that Pacifica Senior Living Hemet had separate small cottages from the main building. They bring the food to the residents. The staff seemed young and really vibrant; I liked that they have a lot of energy. The rooms were clean and tidy, and the space was bigger. They had nice walk-in showers. The environment had a homey feel. I can't think of anything they can improve on.
Provider Response
Thank you Margie, we appreciate your feedback! We always strive to provide top quality service to every resident and their families, and are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your experience here at Pacifica Senior Living Hemet. If you have any questions, please give us a call. We're always happy to help and we hope to see you again soon!

I visited this facility

We only went there once for a brief visit. We toured around. My brother liked it, other than there were a few problems in the kitchen area. The staff was eventually nice. There were no problems yet. The rooms were fine. They were good-sized room. Everything else was great. They had exercise. They had people her age that she could talk to and reminisce with. However, they could improve on the safety of the kitchen.
Provider Response
Thank you for your review.

My grandmother's been here for a while. She feels comfortable with the people and likes the food. It's all updated where she lives. She's busy all day long doing activities, like games, singing, and folding laundry and little tasks like that. They go on little trips every now and then on the bus, though they don't really get out and go places because of their conditions. It's all homey.
Provider Response
Thank you for your review.

I chose this community for my mother. The staff was very caring. They worked with the needs of families. She loves the place, but she was only there for two weeks. She loves the food. I don’t have any complaints about this place as I was very impressed with them.

I like the cottages. I like that they have little houses that my father lives in. The staff is very nice and helpful. They are also understanding and supportive. If I rate their food, I'd give it a 3.

I visited this facility

It is beautiful. It is like a resort, and that's how everybody seems to describe it. It is really nice, and my mom really enjoys it there. She really likes the facility and the people who work there. She also says the food is good. There is always something going on in the afternoon, and then on Fridays they usually have some kind of a program. They have an onsite place where she gets her hair done. We visited about three places, but the first one we visited was this community, and we really liked it. I like the people that manage the place, and I haven't got any complaints about it. So far, she just fit in so well here.

I visited this facility

The rooms are pretty nice, and the private rooms are really spacious. The rooms where you share are a pretty good size, and they’re roomy enough. The rooms are like little apartments. The staff is helpful. They do like karaoke, they do some activities, and they do sing. They do little party gatherings for them. They are always doing something. The food looks pretty good, and they seem to be enjoying it. The dining area is really nice, and it’s big enough for a family to come and join in with their love ones. For security, you just can’t get in and out.

My experience with this assisted living provider was always pleasant. The accommodation was ideal, with each person receiving their own room and only about 10-15 people per 'cottage'. There would be group activities such as crafts or exercising in the main house to encourage inter-cottage relationships. The staff was always pleasant and helpful and there was a small medical team, dentist, and beautician on site. There was also a free shuttle service for those who were able and wanting to go shopping. All food was made on-site in view of the residents of each cottage. Each meal was healthy and balanced with several options per meal. On site were also several 'lock-down' cottages to house those with dementia. Despite not being let outside unsupervised, these cottages worked just like the rest with no difference in care or aptitude of the staff. Staff was always around to help and answer questions for both family members and residents.

This facility seems so down and the ambiance looks so depressing to me. The place was good though but for my dad's situation, we want him to get involved into a lot of activities. So he needs to be in a place where everything should be a little upbeat.

Memory Care Reviews for Pacifica Senior Living Hemet

By Linda118720250

I visited this facility

This was an excellent facility. I was very impressed with it, and the programs they had for dementia patients. They had a lot of activities, the patients seemed happy, and well-cared for. The rooms seemed very nice. They had cottages, and there were 15 in a cottage. They had a central area. It was well-maintained, kept up, and the grounds were beautiful. The dining area was nice. The people were friendly, and the assistance seemed great.
Provider Response

I visited this facility

It is very pleasant, clean, and organized. They moved my mother to memory care because they were a little nervous since she was wandering at the time. The activities in the unit are singing, dancing, classical and jazz music playing, and playing Name That Actor. On Fridays, they have a happy hour. The residents join them in the main office area -- which is huge -- with a TV and a small kitchen, and they'd have wine and beer. The food is pretty good. They have three meals and two snacks a day.

It is a nice quiet place. They have other levels of care but I'm particularly interested in their memory care. This facility seems to be just fine and clean. What I like best about this is that it is nice and organized. I wasn't there long enough; however, overall, basing on my one-hour visit, I would give them a high rating.
