After trying to take care of our Dad ourselves for five months, we finally realized our good intentions were putting his safety at risk. We found Pacifica memory care through a referral agency called A Place For Mom. Between the referral agency, Pacifica, and my family, it took us over a month to become emotionally ready for this inevitable transition. I didn't want to give up and they didn't give up on me either! Pacifica is no ordinary assisted living facility. Their staff is happy and so there is low turnover. That's real... read more

The experience has been since May of 2013 and all seems to be fine with the care for my mother-in-law. Pacifica is prompt on calls regarding any concerns about Mom. The place is really beautiful and the residence are about to go outside into secure grounds so they are not limited to a building. I think that the experiences we have had so far seem fine after all it is a memory care facility and they take full responsiblity for each resident.

We needed a place for our loved one and ended up choosing Pacifica. They are a good community with very helpful and friendly staff. They did a good job with our loved one and we were pleased with what they offered.

Director [name removed] is a horrible person. She keeps one caregiver for a cottage with 12 adults. She doesn’t care about elderly abuse, she doesn’t notify family members when our loves ones are hospitalized and under her care, one elderly man got lost in the streets of Clearwater, wondering around for six miles and ended up in the hospital. Another lady died at the hospital for complications resulting from a broken wrist. Another lady was bitten up by a male resident, while the caregiver was distracted on her cell. [name r... read more

We picked this community, because they had a graduated memory care unit, and I would not have to move my loved one, if their level of care changed. The communication needs to improve. There has been turnover in the staff, administration, and support staff. My advice to other familes, is to understand what you are getting in terms of the organizational end of things.

I would tell others that I was very disappointed in how they cleaned the bathrooms. Their trash is not picked up daily. The food was ok, they just repeated the meals a lot so there was not a lot of variety on the menu. I cannot comment on the activities due to covid. The staff were friendly enough but they argued and did not seem to get along very well. One night they actually had to call the police to break up one of the fights. Overall, I would not recommend this facility at all.

I found inexperienced uncaring "caregivers", except for one. All staff changing often. I was there almost every day helping take care of my loved one. I cannot think of a single thing that operated well - lack of activities, cleanliness, food & water, laundry, etc. No longer there.

It was not a good fit for my sister in law. She needed more care then they were able to provide. The room sizes were good. The food was not good, and not very nutritious. They have outdoor space. They were very short-staffed.
