Review for Escondido Senior Living
My relative isn't thrilled with the food and dining room service at this time. Staff is awesome...everything from reception to health coordinator, housekeeping, etc. Plus I notice they are able to handle "difficult" tenants professionally and with compassion. Its a hard job, but they do it well. Also I like being able to pay the bill through their website.

Often they would contact me in the middle of the night to inform me of frivolous things.. Care Staff was not as promised at signing, Told he would receive 3 showers and maybe received 2. What activities? Only witnessed one activity and it just seemed like a few people sitting in the courtyard not communicating.

Strengths: very communicative to families ongoing. Really partner once a resident. Everyone is super friendly and you feel like they care. Seem to work they don't know what to ask. Also the Dining schedules are too early for my family member resident. Dinner starts at 445 and ends by 630. Too early to e

I went to take a tour and everyone was so nice and friendly. Love restaurant style dinning, the outings, the movie theater and activities available. I can not wait to move in. My family and I are very excited. If you looking for assisted living or memory care you should check out Pacifica Senior Living.

The office staff was great. The rooms are very nice. My dad had a room overlooking the inside courtyard we enjoyed the birds. Getting meds arranged was a bit challenging because they were moving to a new system but the staff was on top of it the whole time.

My 91 yo mother had a stroke and has been a resident of a SNF for the past 100 days. We have applied for ALW and are now waiting for an opening so I have been searching for a facility that can take good care of her. I met with Carline the sales director and she took me on a very nice tour of the facility. This place is very impressive! It's a larger facility but simply laid out so as not to cause anyone confusion. The cleanliness is above par. The dining room looks like a nice restaurant. The menu plan is well designed, and they have other options if the resident is in the mood for something different. They have a theater room, game room and many activities. When I arrived, there were many people getting into a large van to go to other locations. The rooms were very accommodating with plenty of room to move around. I know my mom would be happy here if they only had an opening!

My name is [name removed] and I’m a friend of [name removed]. When her mother, [name removed], and I were looking for a place for [name removed] we met [name removed] and toured the facility. It’s clean, well-kept and friendly. [name removed] met with us numerous times and always addressed our questions and concerns in a friendly, professional manner. [name removed] and I have visited [name removed] in her spacious room and for lunch. In [name removed] words “Everybody is so friendly here and I really like the variety of delicious food.” We won’t hesitate to recommend Pacifica to others.

I'm amazed that the staff are so accommodating with residents, and that the staff seems to know each individual, which room they're in, and which meds they need, etc. I know serving seniors makes it difficult, little things like sprigs of parsley would help visual appeal. That would help both hot meals and to-go selections. I think I need to upgrade my response to Activities. There are more parties, games, etc than I remembered. And many rooms have sort of personal identification of the resident, beyond name plate. I think that is one of best things for residents' mental and emotional well-being.

Seemed the friendliest staff, cleanest, large enough room and not dingy looking. I picked this community because that it is where I'd want my loved one.

After moving my mother from Arizona last year when her health took a drastic turn for the worse, and trying out THREE different assisted living facilities in North San Diego County, I finally found the one my mother can call HOME…Pacifica Escondido! From the moment she moved in, the staff has shown unwavering dedication to her wellbeing. The caregivers are not only highly trained but also incredibly compassionate, treating her with such kindness and with the respect they would treat their own mother. The community itself is incredibly well-maintained (thank you, [name removed]!) and provides a comfortable and safe environment.. It's so heartwarming to see the level of care and attention she receives everyday, and I can’t thank the following staff members enough: [name removed], [name removed], [name removed], [name removed], [name removed] & [name removed]…among others. And new Executive Director, [name removed], is the icing on top!

My alert and oriented Aunt fell and broke her hip while living alone. After 8 months in a SNF, she improved and needed to move to a lesser level of care. I went on a tour of 10 different Assisted Living facilities. Pacifica Senior Living in Escondido offered the most variety of programs, incredibly good food , and friendly staff. It is clean and updated. I am in the Medical Profession and able to look at a facility with a critical eye for details. They are not a SNF but have "Medical Techs " who can give the client medications as ordered by their doctor. My Aunt gets a shower 3 times per week. She orders her food off a daily menu inside the dining room with a beautiful Fire Place. They have an Outside Medical Company on-site one day per week to oversee my aunt's medical needs. No need to drive her to the doctor's office. Even the lab techs go to her room and draw her blood. Mobile X Rays also go to her room when needed. Sunday church on site. Laundry and housekeeping one day per week.

I would give Pacifica a five in every category. When you first come into the parking lot, it looks like just a gray building . But then walking up to the entrance you start to feel the warmth. We looked at many places, but Pacifica is the whole package. Staff five, cleanliness five, [name removed] a 12, atmosphere five. It's the cost that I am worried about.

My mom enjoys the activities Pacifica provides. The Holiday music for Thanksgiving. It was a lovely addition to the holiday. They have fresh baked cookies every afternoon. The staff is friendly and helpful.

My mother moved into Pacifica Escondido in October. It has been a hard transition for her but it is now December and my mother is settling in to her new home nicely. I have been amazed with the patient and caring staff. They have bent over backwards to be helpful!

So happy we found Pacifica for our mom! This place has been great along with all of the staff. We couldn’t be happier to have her in a safe happy environment. We also appreciate the amenities in this facility like the salon, movie room and activity room.

Nice place to move Mom into. She has a very nice (and large) one bedroom apartment with a patio and rose garden to work in. Great staff, and management is great at addressing any little issue that may come up. Centrally located yet nice, park-like private yard is the view from her windows.

I would tell others to really really check out their consistency with administration of medications and their pharmacy (which is very sub standard in our opinion). That has been the biggest complaint for us during the experience here.

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:
Know California’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about California’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.
Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.
Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
