G.D. 2020-06-21 I loved Pacifica Senior Living Oakland Heights; it had a very sweet atmosphere. It was like a little village with a little main street to itself. The two-bedroom that we looked at was just too small and it only had one bathroom, so it wouldn't do. However, we liked the location because of the nature and the trees, and it's the kind of place that I like. The staff member who gave me the tour was very wonderful and very sweet. I had an overall very positive impression of the community. I liked it very much, and compared to other places I think this one is super. I just needed more space. I am/was a resident of this facility

Adrian 2019-12-13 Pacifica Senior Living Oakland Heights was great, but they couldn't take my mom because she has C. diff. We were also upset because at first we thought she was going to assisted living, and what happened was, when they started to do the assessment, it was when we found out that assisted living wouldn't be a good fit for her. They said a better fit would be memory care. Nevertheless, the community was very nice. We like it a lot. The staff was very nice. As a matter of fact, she called me several times afterwards. It was a beautiful building. It was very nice and spacious. They had nice rooms. The dining place was impressive because it looked more like a restaurant than a dining room. The building was old but very well kept. They had a lot of art deco, too. The director was amazing. She took her time from a busy schedule to come in and talk to me. They're very helpful. I visited this facility

Cheryl 2019-07-02 The staff at Pacifica Senior Living Oakland Heights was very nice, very helpful, and explained everything about the prices and what services they offer. The rooms were fine and had a window, so there's some light coming in, which my mother would like. They had standard entrees every day, and if you don't want to eat what they have, you can pick from their a la carte menu. They had trips they can go out on and services to take you to the doctor. Everybody's very nice. I visited this facility

MK 2018-10-02 My mom moved into Pacifica Senior Living Oakland Heights. The staff is fabulous. The building itself is over 100 years old, but it's a fabulous facility. My mom loves the food, and it's been very good every time I've eaten there. Her room is small. They have a library stocked by donations and a really nice theater where they try to tailor the movies toward everybody. The staff is very good. It's in a location with the best weather in Oakland. There's just not enough parking. I was directed to a garage which is impossible to negotiate. The spaces are so small, you can hardly get in and out of them. They're in the process of remodeling, and their carpet is on their list to get done but hasn't been done yet and puts many people off because it's worn. It's a shame because that shouldn't stop anyone since it's a fabulous facility. It just doesn't give them a good look. It's horribly overpriced, but then everything is in the area. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Suzy121367 2017-04-14 I visited Pacifica Oakland Heights. I thought they were great and a wonderful location. It was quite expensive for us and not something that we thought we could afford. It was beautiful, large, clean, and spacious. I visited this facility

Meg883028 2016-11-22 I like Pacifica Senior Living a lot. The woman who gave me a tour had me talk to the man who was in charge of the memory care area and that was very nice to connect with him one on one. The place is big but feels very homey and comfortable. I like this one the best from all the places I visited. They have schedule of activities, and I saw the residents gather together for activities. I visited this facility

Catherine36 2016-03-18 I visited Pacifica Senior Living. I thought the people were very nice and seemed supportive. The building facility seemed comfortable and had different places to walk around, like the courtyard. The residents seemed to be engaged in activities; I know they have different classes and group activities. I talked to a couple of people who had a lot of information to share. I visited this facility

Susan118922650 2016-01-31 The people at Pacific were very helpful, encouraging, and understanding. They were willing to give us shorter term of stay because we didn’t want all of two weeks. The rooms available were pretty stark. The dining area was fine though. I visited this facility

Craig23 2015-12-30 Our top choice is Pacifica Senior Living. It’s affordably priced; it’s close to where I am and it has nice facilities. The staff seemed good and they had activities. There are a range of services: they have memory care, independent-living and they have very good assisted living. They all go to the same dining hall. I visited this facility

Susan116636350 2015-11-22 I visited Pacifica Senior Living. It was wonderful and seemed absolutely fabulous. I started to fantasize in my mind that I could afford it; then, I came down to reality and realized that my retirement would not be enough. They were very efficient and set up an appointment for me. There was a guy who called us and did a follow-up. They were great and really tried to make us feel so welcome. I wished I had a lot of money so I could go there. There were two bathrooms, one fitted-out for a disabled person. There weren't any stairs, so we would not have to walk up and down. There was a separate living quarters for independent living across the street from the facility. It was much nicer than it had to be and roomy. The buses were taking people here and there. There was a rose garden to sit in. Everybody was kind. The food and all-inclusive meals looked great. I visited this facility

Caring114483450 2015-10-27 We did find respite care for my mother at Pacifica Oakland Heights. We just did a tryout, because they're the only one that allowed us three days. My mother stayed there for three days. The staff was wonderful. They were very open and receptive to hearing what we would like to see at our next day. However, I would like to see that medication management is better watched. Nevertheless, they were very open to us coming and seeing the place, and they worked with our schedule. Like I said, they're the only one that allows a long weekend for respite as opposed to a two-week or one-month stay as a respite. I visited this facility

Caring daughter29 2015-10-27 My mother has been in Pacifica Senior Living Oakland Heights going on three weeks. It's an old building, but it looks nice and is secluded right in the city. It's independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing all in one. However, we had some problems with the service, i.e., giving medicine to her on time, and the food is horrible. The grounds are great, but they'll be better because they're undergoing a major remodeling. She has very nice, two connecting rooms. There was a couple of really good people and a couple that aren't very good on-staff. I visited this facility

John 2019-04-15 I went to Pacifica Senior Living Oakland Heights. It's a nice place. I'd move there in a minute, but I can't afford it. It seemed very warm and inviting. The young lady who assisted us was very friendly, and very practiced in the art of making you feel welcome and showing us the various places and the opportunities, and the choices that we would have. They provide a pool table, and a viewing room with a TV. The dining area was very nice, and I met the chef. They have cottages scattered around the area, and it's very attractive. I visited this facility

Randy 2019-04-12 Pacifica Senior Living Oakland Heights was great. The staff during the tour was fantastic. Everything looked adequate. It was the best place that we saw out of four locations.

Jordan 2018-09-24 The appearance and layout of Pacifica Oakland Heights is quite tremendous. The buildings and facilities are beautiful. The staff members are phenomenal, wonderful, and friendly people. I've only been here for several weeks and they always seem to know my name. They have a very large dining room that's beautifully done, where they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. I prefer to make my own breakfast and dinner on occasion because I have a nice kitchen. There's a tremendous amount of activities for the residents, and you can do what you like. Tomorrow we're going to the zoo, which should be fun. I am/was a resident of this facility

They had two buildings, but I did not feel safe. I did not like Pacifica at all. I visited this facility

F.S. 2015-11-30 Pacifica Senior Living Oakland Heights was very nice. I liked the resident's apartment a lot. I thought the renovations they were doing there would really make it a much more inviting facility, and I liked the staff there that I met. I thought they were very pleasant, very attentive and informative. I thought the food was average. They had usual activities. They had crafts and fitness. They were renovating the place, so they were renovating the fitness room. They had their own in-house beauty salon. They had social activities and movies. They could improve on their food and the entrance lobby. I thought the rest of the place was quite nice, but the entrance lobby where you would go for the reception, I thought they should make that a nicer looking. They should look a little more luxurious and inviting. The facilities and apartments in the other building were very nice and impressive, but they needed nicer furniture and decor for the entrance on their reception area. I visited this facility

Peggy 2019-06-24 My husband just moved into Pacifica Senior Living Oakland Heights last Monday. So far, it's very clean, the workers are very caring, but very busy. We're comfortable with the place. The only problem I have is, we move him to memory care, and the residents wander into other people's rooms, I found them sleeping in my husband's bed, and Im not happy with that. They were proactive in taking care of the people's complaints. I was lucky to get him a private room, but we're in a waiting list for a shared room as well. They have activities all day, they want them out of the room in the morning, have breakfast, assist them in getting ready for the day, and they take care of their meds. They offer 3 meals a day, 2 snacks, they keep him clean, and make sure they take care of them. They provide them simple meals and healthy snacks. It's an old building, they did the best they could with what they have, and it's clean. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

lgwest 2018-04-07 Fred H., the Memory Care Director for Pacifica Oakland Heights, has made a huge and positive impact on my aunt Linda’s experience as a resident. He sets a very high standard for care for his staff. Ive often seen him talk my aunt into doing something she needs to do such as showering etc. with humor or charm. Over the last 3 years as resident she always says how happy she is, how cared for she feels. Fred gets a great deal of credit for this and my aunts safety. Believe me, with growing population of Alzheimer’s there have been challenges Fred has always worked well with us to solve and work through anything that has come up in the most helpful ways. He has a deep awareness of how dementia affects residents, while maintaining a warmth and kindness with every resident I’ve observed him with. But he isn't the only one, my dear aunt wouldn't be so happy and content if each and every staff member who came in contact with her didn't do the same: from the activities directors who stimulate her brain, to the other nurses and caregivers who are unfailingly capable,patient, respectful and kind. The food is of high quality and tasty, but I've asked them to consider serving more finger foods that are easier for dementia residents to eat. I've often joined my aunt at lunch and have very nutritious meals served then. And the staff are very much on hand to help out. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident
