We moved our mother in 3 years ago and it has been the best place for her. The staff is attentive and friendly and care for her every need. The facility is clean and maintenance is proactive in any repairs that need be made. She loves her room! We know the staff by name, and you can feel the caring nature of the staff with residents. Mom isn't much on activities, but they do have a daily schedule planned for each day. Holidays are always celebrated with family and friends in the facility. I cant think of a better place in Bakersfield

Pacifica Senior Living Bakersfield was gorgeous. They were so friendly, fun, and accommodating. I didn't see a lot of the residents, but I saw the place. If we were in a position to be able to go to a senior living, I would consider them. Their showers were just recently redone and they're very cute. They didn't have any studios available to view. I guess those are a hot commodity, but they had several different sizes of one-bedroom that they showed me and they're very cute. The staff was very friendly. The staff had a wealth of information. He gave me some direction. He said, "When you visit these other places, make sure you ask about this, this, and this, because they'll say this is your assisted living, but they don't talk about medical costs." He helped direct me plus he gave me a little package of the most delicious handmade cookies I've ever had.

We toured Pacifica Senior Living Bakersfield. The staff was wonderful. They were all very nice. It seemed clean. The people there are pretty happy and it was nicely appointed. They showed us some menus. They have music and they have chair exercises. They have a general receiving area. They have a nice dining room and a couple of seating areas. They have a courtyard. The rooms were nice. The bigger ones were fine but the average ones were on the small side. They have a microwave and a small refrigerator.

I toured Pacifica Senior Living Bakersfield. I liked that place. I went there last year. There were long hallways full of rooms, and I just wanted my father to be in a place where there were only five or six residents as opposed to 50. If it hadn't been for that I would have probably placed my father at Pacifica. It was just too large for me. I liked the staff, the setup, the care that they got, and the cleanliness of it. I saw personalized attention to the residents from the staff.

Pacifica Senior Living Bakersfield was good. We saw them doing activities with their patients. Considering the situation, they were trying to be very engaging with their clients. They're very friendly. We had a pretty good conversation about what might be needed. I think I would have preferred Pacifica Senior Living if I was going to do a memory care. Their lunchrooms seemed kind of small, but I had a good feeling about the facility. They have a main room. They were working on doing some other things, but they weren't done yet. All their residents were participating in a game and stuff like that. The facility was clean. It was more institutional, that's why it works better.

My wife has been in memory care at Pacifica Senior Living Bakersfield for approximately three months now. Initially, we met with the staff at Pacifica. I want to see the facility and just in general get a general idea of what it's like. After meeting with the staff, they were very competent and very open. It's a really, really nice facility and very clean. When I was there meeting with them, they were having a group deal in the memory unit with people participating. I was very impressed with all that. I've had no dissatisfaction with the staff at all. They all seem to be very responsive and they seem to care about my wife and take good care of her when I go visit. She's always dressed well, her hair's done, she seems to be very well taken care of, and she's put on a few pounds, which I couldn't get her to do here at the house. She's in a room with another lady, but the other lady seems fine and it's a nice room. There's plenty of room. So far, I'm very satisfied with them. She's only been there three months at this time, so all I can do is go by what I've seen and the interaction I've had with the staff and how my wife seems to be taken care of. They're always very responsive. With the COVID, we went through the first six weeks where I was having to meet with my wife outside because of the COVID restrictions. Thankfully, that's over because this is Bakersfield and it's so hot outside, but that's not their fault, that was Covid. I'm very satisfied with the staff at this point. I have not been there when she's having meals. All I can go by is the fact that she has put on a few pounds. She must like what they're feeding her. Otherwise, it wouldn't be going that way. My expectation is that the food is fine, but I can't actually say with the COVID restrictions and all that, I haven't been in there when they were eating. I think it's probably fine because she's put on the weight. I haven't seen what they're feeding her. They seem to have regular activities. As far as I can tell, the activities are fine. They have people that get them involved in activities and they seem to want them involved as much as possible. I think that's probably very good. She looks nicer now than she did when she was living here at home. It was terrible trying to get her to bathe. I force her to bathe every once in a while, but she didn't want to. That's the sad thing about Alzheimer's, my wife was always one of those really clean people and then with the Alzheimer's, that got to the point where she simply didn't want to bathe and she would be angry the entire time I was making her bathe. It seems to be working fine there because whenever I come to visit, she's clean, her appearance is good, and her hair is done. I think she's being well cared for in terms of hygiene.

We've found Pacifica Senior Living here in Bakersfield, and my mother-in-law is going to their assisted living this week. We were able to see it and talk with people there. I've talked to several of the staff. They were all fine, giving us lots of different information and showing us around. My husband and I talked to several different people and because of that, you'll hear one thing from one person and then another thing with the other person. Not everyone knew all the same things. We got some information that was inaccurate, but they quickly corrected that. It wasn't that big of a deal, but I'm giving them 4 stars for that. Just maybe work the communication a little bit so everybody knows the same stuff to tell people. The rooms seemed really nice. They're actually remodeling one of them, and we're going to get that one for my mother-in-law. It was free for a little while, in between residents living there while they remodeled it. It looks really nice. It's nice that they have individual rooms there.

I’ve personally interacted with one or more personnel that have been a little rude and or snotty. I know my friend says she has dealt with the same. In addition, one of her complaints is the food. Basically, all residents eat the same thing whether they like it or not. I think there should be a second choice if someone doesn’t like what’s on the menu. For example I don’t like nor eat fish so if I was living there I would go hungry which my friend says happens often. Maybe, something simple could be offered as an alternative. I know the residents are paying a great deal of money, shouldn’t they be able to have a little variety/selection when it comes to their meal choices? Community is nice, however I think more activities would be great.

Pacifica Bakersfield is an excellent facility! My Mom was greeted on her first day with “Welcome Home” and has felt that sentiment everyday since then. They have the most caring and involved caregivers, excellent food, wonderful activities and beautiful facilities and grounds!

Pacifica offered my mother a safe, friendly place to live. Each staff member was very kind and they took the time to develop a relationship with my mother that made her feel she was always among friends. The activities not only kept her busy but they brought her joy. They were careful to administer the correct medications at the appropriate times and they were attentive to her health needs. Pacifica was responsive to her needs as they changed without making her feel embarrassed or awkward. They welcomed her home when she came back from the hospital on hospice and treated her with love and dignity. We appreciate this unique setting and highly recommend Pacifica.

My mom tells me every time I see her that they treat her really good. She eats well and they really push fluids so the residents don’t get dehydrated. My moms short term memory is zero but can still play the piano like she did years ago. Pacifica is truly amazing. I have not met a staff member that does not show compassion.

Pacifica has been really great. They have been wonderful with my grandma, and she can be difficult. She's there for almost a year now. The food is wonderful. They have so many activities. It's better than I ever expected it to be, because she really didn't want to go. So I'm really happy that it turned out to be much better than we expected. She's so comfortable now that she'd rather stay there for the holidays than go the family's house. She would rather us come there, so now I spend the holidays with her there. She loves bingo, she does sometimes the sit and step exercise, and other days when I got there they were doing some kind of cooking in one of their little rooms. They also do coloring and do potted plants thing. Just about everything. She would also participate in church. She's way more active now. I haven't had any problems with any of the staff. They have all been so great. The food is amazing. She's a picky eater, but she has eaten so well since she's gotten there. I usually go and have one there almost every day. She usually eats everything, and we finally got some weight on her. The place is always super clean. The outside is beautiful and the inside is always clean and decorated for the holidays. She likes what they have going on. I speak to all the other people that go in there too because there's quite a few other daughters and people who come in and have lunch, and we all feel the same way. It's a great facility. It really is.

Pacifica has good programs in place to care for the residents, communicate with the families, and interface with outside health care providers. When your loved one first arrives here it is confusing and maybe frightening for both the resident and the family. Trust the Pacifica system to overcome these hurdles; everyone will feel at home in no time at all. We have been using memory care for about four (4) months now and have found the staff to be wonderful.

My father is at Pacifica Senior Living. I like its small size, the sense of community, and the staff. The staff is caring, lighthearted, and well-suited for the work. The rooms are clean, well-kept, and very nice. They have an array of activities both in the community and field trips. They keep them very active.

Pacifica Senior Living was beautiful. My aunt and I went there to observe and the staff was very nice. They had a dining room and they brought cookies and coffee. The rooms were very nice. They had activities like bingo, lessons and someone played the piano. The reason why I didn't choose them was because they didn't have after memory care. They had a memory care but it was in a separate building.

My mom is in Pacifica Senior Living Bakersfield. We're happy with it. We looked all over and that's the one that we like best. We just like the way they diagnosed my mom and just the way they were, the people in general. For us, this place was a better fit for my mom. It is just a nice facility. She has been there since September. The staff is wonderful. Overall, they're exactly what we needed and they're doing a wonderful job. We have no complaints about them whatsoever.

My dad is very happy in Pacifica Senior Living Bakersfield. Everything is good and he likes it there. It has a very friendly environment. He likes the food and he eats all the time. They have all kinds of different activities. They even have little buses to take them out sometimes. He has a one-bedroom apartment and it has plenty of room for him. It is just kind of an open bedroom with a nice big closet. It has plenty of space for his bed and his wheelchair that I got for him. He also has a little kitchen area with a microwave and a small refrigerator. The bathroom is really huge. It has all the seating and everything. He likes his apartment. What I like best about this facility is the management and the staff. I'm very satisfied with them. They are really helpful and friendly. They keep a good eye on him and check on him a lot. They would call me if something is not right. They make sure that all of his medications and everything is going all right. They will make copies of his medications for us every time he has a doctor's appointment just to make sure that we double check. They make sure he goes down and eats. They also keep his room nice and clean. They're just great. I would definitely recommend this place.
