I love my apartment and the staff who helped us. The activities are fun. My favorite part of the day is having lunch and dinner with my friends. We stayed and laughed for hours. We shut the place down. The food is fair. I wouldn't rave. We haven't been pleased with the cook they have, but they're getting a new cook, and so we're hoping for better.
The staff is very nice. No complaints. We play different card games, we have movies, and almost anything you can see here we play. My room is beautiful. It's a one room with my bed in it, a closet, and it has everything I need. The place is extremely clean. The people that live here have to take showers 3 times a week. It's a must. The staff is very, very good, and the helpers are exceptional. I've been here since February.

I've been in Pacifica for 8 months now. I like the people and the staff. They keep my apartment very clean and my laundry is always done. They have a lot of activities, but I don't go to them. I'm almost blind. My room is big and it's great. My kids chose Pacifica. I like the food. They have a set time for meals. I like it here.

I came in to visit one of your residents. The staff is always friendly and accommodates my friend's needs. Everyone always has a smile on their face. When I attend family nights we always have a blast. What a great facility! The Pacifica is beautiful. The rooms are gorgeous and I think they're very, very nice. It's very homey.

I visited her looking for a place for my mom. We met other residents, some of the staff, and had lunch. The food was good. My mom is not quite ready because she is still in rehab. When she's ready, we are moving her here.

I moved my mom into the community yesterday. They made it easy for me as possible. I knew when I walked in the front door, this was the place for my mom. The grounds were pretty and the community was clean and plesant. The nurse came to our house to evaluate my mom and made her feel as ease. Pacifica Ocala is the perfect place for my mom!

Pacifica Senior Living Ocala was very nice. They had a nice restaurant where the folks could sit down and have a restaurant-style dinner. They also had a nice pool. The staff member who toured me was super and has been there for several years. There were people playing cards, in the pool area, and in the game room.

I would like to thank Tonya and her entire staff for the comfort and care they gave to Mary during her stay at Pacifica-Ocala. During her later time when her health was failing the extra care she was given was over and beyond. The entire staff from maintenance, to the kitchen staff, nursing, administration and regular workers to top management could not have been more helpful and caring. Whenever I needed help with Mary everyone was more than happy to help. I highly recommend anyone looking for a place for there loved one to consider Pacifica-Ocala. I would personally like to Thank Tonya and her staff.

My friend was in Pacifica. He was transported back to the hospital and is now in rehab, but he will probably be going back to Pacifica. It has very nice upkeep of the interior, much better than the other places that we had gone. They offer a lot of activities and even bring groups in to entertain and sing. We had lunch there the same day he was admitted, and it was good. Their dining area was above anything we saw anywhere else. It was very neat, and the food was good. It was a pleasant experience.

Just moved my 96 year old dad from independent living to Pacifica. The first day was rough since he did not see the need but now is slowly adjusting. Tonya's team is wonderful and he loves his care person Peggy and trusts her. It will take him awhile to get use to his new home but with time and the outstanding support from the staff I know he will be healthy and happy in the long term.

Pacifica Senior Living was very friendly and well-kept. It’s being renovated, very nice, and spacious. The help there was very accommodating and friendly. I liked it very much. I didn’t feel lots of activities at that time, but I know they have a lot of activities. They were having their meal when I was there, and I went to the barbecue station that they had, and the food was very good. They had entertainment at that time, and they had their activities in the center. The corridors were very wide and bright. The dining room is very open, and it has double atrium doors going out to the garden area.

Aug 25, 2016: I have had two very different experiences at Pacifica Ocala. I must say that this second visit was a wonderful and drastic change. Tonya and her team have turned it around. The first time it was not as homey and inviting as it is today. The staff is very welcoming and happy. The residents could not say enough about the positive changes. Well done!!

We toured Pacifica, and everything was nice. It was under construction, so it was hard to tell what the rooms are going to be like. Everyone seemed nice. The staff was pleasant, the few that I saw. It was a very small place. They didn’t really have a secure system. They said that when people go out, they ask them where they’re going, but when you’re 90 years old, you might go the wrong way. It seemed like a nice place, and I wouldn’t have any problem with putting somebody in Pacifica. They had a library that was under construction, so I’m not sure about the size of it or anything. They had bingo, but the residents looked like they were on their own. I didn’t see any activities there.

One thing I liked about Pacifica Senior Living Ocala was it was all on one floor. My biggest turnoff was that a lot of the people in there were just too old for me. The food was OK, and they served three meals a day. The room that I saw was OK but a little too small for me. Everybody was very nice.

My wife and I have visited many times and I would recommend Pacifica to anyone. I am impressed with the staff from the administrator (Tonya) to the girls on the floor (especially Rebecca) They act like they genuinely care. They are always smiling and eager to help. The residents are smiling and laughing. I believe they are happy too. Overall, great atmosphere every time we go.

We recently celebrated my aunt's 100th birthday at Pacifica Sr. Living, Ocala.
Thanks to the friendly and very caring staff, the occasion was a complete success. We were touched that everyone at the facility seemed to be involved in making this day a memorable one for my aunt. A special thanks to Tony, who coordinated everything and even made sure there was a chocolate cake ....a request from the Birthday Girl . The staff is relaxed, attentive and respectful to their residents. They obviously strive to provide the feeling of Home.

I've been here several times because my husband's aunt was a resident. This place is beautiful too. It had grass all around and several benches as well. The rooms were nice. They're very roomy for a single person. In addition, they serve good food to their residents. I think the residents are happy with their stay here judging from their physical appearance. I would suggest this place to others. I like what I see in here and I can't think of anything negative about this facility.
