Mark Claypool 2019-09-25 My mother loves her room and the amenities. She is well taken care of and the staff is very friendly and caring. The activities and the library are a couple of her favorites about Pacifica. Also, the good food and flexibility of the menu. She likes that if she doesn’t want the entree for dinner there is a side menu of tasty food she can special order. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

RMartin12 2019-09-25 I toured Pacifica Senior Living for my parents. This was a research trip, as they are not ready to move in right now. The staff was friendly (important) and the place was clean and had good energy. Unlike the other home I visited, the residents looked happy and occupied with games or activities. The sales rep Lou was very helpful and a caring guy. I'll definitely consider this place when my parents need to make this change. I visited this facility

Kimberly G 2019-09-14 We recently visited a family friend of ours. The atmosphere as soon as you walk through the doors was delightful. The staff are welcoming, we were impressed on how involved the staff are wth the residents. Coming across caregivers and managers as well. My family & I were extremely impressed with the amount of activities they had happening. She couldn't stop talking about the Beautiful decorations, entertainment. We even experienced a group doing flower arrangements which was lead by the activity director which is rare at other places it shows how committed Pacifica is to our loved ones. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Kaly 2019-09-13 We liked the smaller, homey atmosphere at Pacifica. We felt like we were already residents when we toured the community. The people were friendly, diverse, and happy to be there. It’s in an ideal location, in a residential neighborhood. The rooms were super clean and spacious. The layout of and accessibility to the cafe, courtyard, sundry store, activity room, library, laundry room, exercise room, etc. were perfect. I visited this facility

awgo 2019-09-12 The staff is friendly and well-trained. The care about your experience while you visit. It made me feel more comfortable and happy that my mother is there even though she is new. The community is clean throughout and the food is tasty and well-prepared. The management staff from the executive director on down cares and does a professional job. My mother is already enjoying the many activities available daily. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Christine 2019-06-14 Representative Sherrie R. was of great assistance showing this lovely facility to me one day, then again with me and my two family members on two other days. Place was sparkling clean, fresh, new, airy, secure; and staff members were cheerful and welcoming. I loved it on each visit and would move in, myself, in a heartbeat when it's my time!

Happy Visitor288607 2017-02-07 The rooms at Pacifica were pretty nice. I was quite impressed with the person who showed me everything. She was pretty knowledgeable, so I walked away thinking that in the future, she could probably help me. It was a nice facility. She showed me a shared room that had all the amenities my mom might like. That was one of the nicer ones I visited. They had a sitting area, a TV area, a reading area, a game room, and a cafeteria. I visited this facility

Past Resident445681 2016-12-06 Pacifica Senior Living needed to hire more people to care for the people that stayed there. The residents have this panic, but did not have a button that they can wear on the wrist. They need to upgrade that system because it wasn’t working that great. The advice they had to get in and out of the main door was inoperable. I didn’t think it was a very good facility. He had an incident where he fell and they failed to let the family know that he had a fall; two weeks later we discovered he had a fall. He had symptoms to emergency. I wouldn’t recommend it to anybody. They don’t have enough staff on duty, and they were shorthanded at the time. I don’t know if they resolved this issue, but I have discussed it with them if they’re going to take care of it. However, they had some really nice facilities, and the staff was cordial; they weren’t rude. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

I just took my Mom to her MD for her physical and she said that my Mom has looked better than she has looked in years. There is great follow through; it's not just get 'em in here and forget about 'em.

Waiehu 2016-03-08 I immediately liked Pacifica Senior Living Union City because the receptionist was friendly and nice. The place was bright and cheerful looking. All of the residents were decorating the place for Valentine's Day, so there were hearts all over the place. There are physical activities done with the memory care patients and always something going on for all of the residents, like arts and crafts. There are residents in walkers and wheelchairs, but they are always doing something, too. The furnishings at this facility looked new and were nice pieces of furniture. They are doing a good job taking care of my husband. I visited this facility

DH4 2015-12-29 I liked many things about Pacifica Senior Living Union City, including the size, the friendliness of the staff, and the good food. I really liked Robin, the marketing/sales guy. He was very personable and future-oriented. I also liked the price; it’s the most reasonable price among all that I have visited. I like its location, which is just across the street from a high school, so they get volunteers. I also like that it is close to grocery stores and restaurants. I visited this facility

mayalm 2015-10-16 My Mom stayed here at Pacifica for 3 weeks respite care. She has short term memory issues and is a little unstable on her feet ("walker dpendent"). It is important that she has a lot of social stimulation and time-place orientation every day. They promised they would look after her and provide for her needs while I was out of town. THEY DID! I can tell when Mom hasn't been getting the social interaction she needs because her mind is more dull and her spirits are low. When I picked her up to bring her back home, she was perky, in good spirits, and as agile as she can be. Clothes and person clean. No clothes were lost, no injuries sustained. Staff is just great (I'm a former Director of Nurses of a SNF so have a very high bar for them to meet). Her apt. was clean and new, really nice. The meals were tasty and of good variety. The activities were varied. Staff ensured Mom attended all they had (per our request). And while I was gone, they texted me pictures of her (I gave prior permission) and I texted pictures of me back to them so they could show her. - If I need respite again, I would definitely want Mom here. Top marks for this facility in my experience. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

IWolfe 2015-08-28 I am a resident of this facility and I love every minute of it. When I walked into Pacifica I knew this was the right place for me The building and grounds were nice and clean, The management team that greeted us and explained everything to us were very professional. Along with my family we were able to pick out our own apartment. yes, we were downsizing but furnishing the apt. was a joy. It is nice and comfortable. I was afraid that coming from a different lifestyle I would be board but OH how wrong I was. There are plenty of different activities to keep me busy all day long and I take advantage of all of them to keep myself well and happy. The chef and kitchen staff are well trained to cater to us. The food is delicious/ The maintenance crew here at Pacifica is top notch. They take good care of our needs. The nurses, med tech's, care givers, housekeepers. With all of this help we do have a comfortable and carefree life. I LOVE IT. I am/was a resident of this facility

Wynn1 2015-07-21 Pacifica Senior Living was nice, gorgeous, and huge. It’s next to the senior center, and the library is across the street. They gave us lunch; I talked to the chef and the people in the kitchen, and the people liked the food. We had some residents come up to our table and talk to us; they were very happy and very independent living there. It’s just very costly. They said they’d have to have 2 people because my dad weighs 260 lbs to lift him up, and then it was going to be about $7,000 a month; who has $7000 a month? The rooms are very nice and adequate for what they need. They had a whole calendar full of things. I like the staff; they’re very good. I talked to some people who came to visit their parents; their parents love it, and they’re very grateful that their parents are there. I visited this facility

They have a beauty shop there, nice food, and a lot of retired teachers. She is a retired teacher too, so she has a lot in common with a lot of the people who live there. They have Happy Hour, trivia games that they play with the residents, music, entertainment, and movies. They have very nice accommodations. I visited this facility

Hi Mark, we are so happy to hear this and thank you for sharing your positive experience! We love having your mother here and will always make any sorts of adjustments that she needs. As you know she enjoys the view from her apartment, likes baseball and so we have been talking about the Oakland A’s and the wild card for the play-offs! Her generosity is amazing, did you know that when she had a couple of pair of new shoes that didn’t work out she made it a point to seek out someone who could use them?! We all enjoy her delightful sense of humor and her leadership. For example, when we rolled out the recycle program she asked great questions wanting to ensure we all knew just what to do. Thank you again, we hope to see you again soon.
