I toured Pacifica Senior Living Belleair, and it was fine. The facility was nice. There were multiple buildings there, and it was a pretty nice setup with a small number of rooms per building. I didn't get to see much in the way of staff except for the sales girl. She had been there for, I believe she said eight years. She had been a caregiver for six years, and I thought she was very knowledgeable about the facility. The rooms were fairly bland compared to what I've seen elsewhere. The community looked clean and well-kept.

One that I really would never considered putting my sister in was Pacifica Senior Living Belleair. They didn't have an assisted living room available to see because they were redecorating them, so the staff took me to the memory care area. They have little cottages where they have 12 rooms. The people eat there, rather than moving everybody to a big dining room. I thought that was really good. However, the minute I walked into the memory care area, all I could smell was urine. I thought that was nuts. I was not happy about that. I would have never considered putting my sister there because of that. I don't think there is any reason for a facility to smell that bad. From the minute I stepped in there until I walked all the way down the hallway to look at a room, it smelled like urine through the whole thing. The staff that I dealt with was pleasant. Are the staff not doing their job that it smells like that? To me, it's either the people are not being cared for properly because they're incontinent and are not being changed or they are just not cleaning.

Love the set up of 6 individual houses with 14 residents per house. Wonderful fenced in yard that residents are free to go out. The price is competitive with others but price increases as the need of the resident increases with the need for more memory care. Can go up to as high as $7000 per month.

My mom is living in Pacifica Senior Living Belleair right now. It seems like a good facility. They keep me updated as to what's going on, so it's good. The staff has been friendly and knowledgeable. The location is nice. It has outdoor benches and a little lake there, I believe. The neighborhood seems good.

Our experience at Belleair was excellent and a real game changer for my wife Diane. After 6 months , she was so improved that I was actually able to return her home. Mostly because Darlene (the nurse practicioner) got her on the right med (after others elsewere had failed). This was beyond what I had imagined and should be considered a success story! What first attracted me was the living conditions (cottages) and that the outdoors was actually available to the residents. The entire staff was very supportive from Tina (the Director) on down with special Kudos to Lisa(Activities) and Ann(Cottage#2). Was fortunite to have chosen Belleair even though it was over an hour away!

The team at Pacifica Senior Living Belleair are excellent in care. The team is kind, considerate and always personalized to my mothers needs. They even remembered my birthday! The food is warm and the small cottages help make sure the smell comes through the whole building! It's very helpful to have small cottages with such a large space to walk on the beautiful paths. T

Pacifica Senior Living Belleair was not a good place. I would not send anybody there. My husband's experience was bad. He went in walking, eating, feeding himself, and then he got a very bad infection and had bedsores. They admitted him to the hospital, and he was on two antibiotics. When they discharged him, I had him put in another place. The facility itself was very nice. There were separate cabins. But the workers didn't take care of their people. They double diapered him so they didn't have to change him. They were lousy. The place was very clean. It was just their workers and their CNAs that were bad. They didn't do anything there. They sat in their wheelchairs or in chairs and watched TV. They charged me $4,995 a month and told me all these great things about barbers and podiatrists and exercise room, but none of that happened. The receptionist came over and cut my husband's hair, trimmed his toenails and charged me $40, which were supposed to be included. It was a rip off. My next step is OSHA with them if I don't get my refund back. The food looked fairly good.

I had the pleasure of visiting Pacifica Belleair recently and I am very impressed with the set up there. They had A full dinning area and the staff are great. Everyone answered my questions and helped me through my process. Placing my loved one somewhere like this is important to me. It feels good to be able to know that when I leave she will be well taken care of. Its a very home like atmosphere and much better than the multi story senior living places we visited last week. They have large walking areas outside, large common rooms for her to interact with other residents and daily activities. Thank you for all your help!

Could not have found a better home for my mom. They took her hand and help her thru her new journey. I know she is enjoying all the activities and new friends. The concept exceeds anything I've seen out there.

Pacifica is another outstanding place, there are coach houses as opposed to one building, and each has fourteen residents and staff that takes care of them. Each coach house or villa is identical. As they change from the level of care, there’s no real change for them because the units looked the same. The staff was very friendly and very loving toward the people that were there. The sales rep was very nice and professional. The grounds were beautiful and closed off so the people can’t go outside. They had volunteers coming in that day, so they had that program. The only issue was it was out of my budget.

Pacifica Memory Care had a large yard with walking trails. The facility looked like a house with a kitchen, living room with big couches, recliners, TV, and dining area. They have seven houses where they house their residents and around each house is a yard. Even if it is a memory care facility, it does not look like a facility, but it looks like a house. This place attracted me because it only has seven houses and the residents are divided from 10 to 12 per house so they are smaller groups. It is easier to manage the residents. My dad has free access to walk around the yard with walking trails. I would appreciate it more if they keep the residents busy during the day. Each house has several dining areas and look like ranch-style home.

Hi, thank you for your detailed and positive review. We wanted to mention that we are a licensed Music and Memory community and we provide this wonderful program to our residents 3 times per week. We engage our residents throughout the day both in their cottages and in the Activity Room. We have entertainers every month, offer religious services and communion and parties as well! We also have a Facebook page that we post weekly activities to. We found that this is a fun way for families stay connected to their loved ones. Our residents enjoy creating things like pottery and painting. These types of activities help our residents engage cognitively and psychologically. We are here to help and want you to feel free to reach out to us at the community any time with any and all questions and/or concerns!

My father is in Pacifica. Their dining area is all one area with a kitchen set up to one side, giving it a very nice, warm feeling. There are 14 patients per building, with two CNAs and one nurse. They seemed to have a good patient-to-nurse ratio. These are all ground floor rooms that are easy to get to and have yards with very nice security. The price is very competitive. Their community area is set up very nicely. They have a problem with laundry.

We have my husband in Pacifica. It is quiet and I wanted something that was smaller. He is a villa with 12 people and I like that whole setting. We are very happy with everything. We have caregivers. There are three shifts a day. They are pretty good with the patients. The nurses are good also. The administrator is fairly new but I like her a lot. She is trying to install different new things and I think it is going very well. My husband has a room, it is semi-private. He has a very large bathroom. He is in his room very seldom all day because he sits out in the common room in his chair or wheelchair. I'm very happy with everything. There are seven villas. They are about 12 people in each villa and according to the progression of the dementia. The food is probably as good and as well as can be prepared for them. It is brought over to their villa in heated containers and then the caregivers give it to the patients. So far I haven't seen anything that was not good. There are not a lot of activities though because he cannot get up and walk. The rest of the people are that way too. However, I just like the whole setting and the people there are very, very together. They talk among each other. I like the whole thing.

Pacifica Senior was a nice memory care place. The staff seemed friendly and nice. However, the rooms were kind of small and it was expensive. It was like $4,500 a month.

My mom has been living in Pacifica since March. The staff and the care were great. They have great rooms and activities. The food is good and the place didn't smell of urine. The help talk and care for the patients. They have entertainment come; church and they watch TV in the big room. My mom is happier; she's talking and joking around where she didn't talk before.

The decorations at Pacifica Senior Living Belleair were very basic and not up to date. Each resident lived in a cottage and each had a front yard. They sat outside on the bench or gazebo area and there was a garden area where she walked around. The kitchen area was laid out like a house and that was where everybody ate. My mom said the food was very good. She shared the cottage with another lady and it was comfortable for her. I loved that they allowed her to bring her bed. The staff were very nurturing and they had a nurse 24/7 that gave the medications. There were two staff who changed shifts thrice a day. My mom had dementia and they seemed to understand the phases they went through. They had a resident dog which was terrific. You could visit anytime you wanted as long as your name was on the list. Every time I visit, she was dressed nicely, her clothes were clean and not disheveled. They had a book that was like a diary of each resident. It was very homey and it was what I looked for.

I visited Pacifica Senior Living Belleair for my mother. Their staff was very nice. They also said that their caregivers would check their residents every 15 minutes during the night but I have my doubts about that. My mother has dementia, but I don't like the fact that she is behind locked gate though I do understand that because some dementia patients are wanderers, but my mom is not that way. I also didn't like the fact that there was no personal phone in their rooms.

The nice thing about Pacifica Senior Living Belleair is that their memory care allows residents to go outside on their own gardens and very nice park-like settings, which can make them feel like they are living a normal, unrestricted life. Smokers, like my mother-in-law, are also allowed to smoke outside with a staff in attendance. Most memory care units that I've seen have no outside at all. It's a fenced in community with real architectural and very nice fencing, and the grounds are beautiful. The food is not just the regular food you find in most of these places. They have a chef there and food is excellent. The rooms are very nice and set up separately in villas; villa 1 through 7 and my mother-in-law is in villa 7. There are only fourteen residents in there. They have their own kitchen, their own staff, nurses, and caregivers. The staff is very, very warm, and they make us feel like they really care about our family and they're all professionals. Their warm caring approach and that they really cared about your loved one, I would say, is the best thing about them. The buildings are nice and clean. Everything is lovely and clean.

The Villas of Belle Air was close to the beaches. The staff who toured me was attentive, pleasant and tried to help me as much as possible. The place was a little crowded. The rooms were average in size. The price was a little expensive for me. Cleanliness of the facility should be improved because it smelled of urine.

I like Pacifica Belleair because it's specifically geared towards patients with dementia, and the staff seemed to be well-trained. The residents are divided into cottages which look like regular houses, so it's a very homelike atmosphere. The rooms are not huge but spacious enough. Mom has her own room, her own private bathroom, and she was allowed to bring in furniture or anything from home. The facility is all in 1-story building, so everybody is on the ground floor; no steps. The food is excellent. They have a chef that prepares food for the whole place.
