Pacifica Senior Living Burlingame

I toured Pacifica Senior Living Burlingame. It was clean, they were friendly, and the residents had a good amount of space. They had nice rooms. They have programs like arts and things like that. They also had ways for the members to have companionship together. They had a nice room where they could eat. They had different floors for different needs. So memory care was on one floor while other care was on another floor. They had different degrees of how memory care works. So if a person had partial memory loss, they were in a certain area and then if their memory was very impacted, they had a higher amount of care at a higher cost, but they had it tiered so there was a standard rate. If your family member had more acute problems and they needed more nursing care, the rate would go up. What I appreciated is they made that very clear from the start. So say that you were going in there paying $6,000 a month and you didn't know that your loved one got more memory loss, the rates would go up. They made that very clear so that they would explain to you that these are how their rates could change depending on the care and that was very important for a person who's investigating it, who doesn't know a lot about it. So you could anticipate that costs would rise as the memory declines.

Pacifica Senior Living Burlingame is a great place and my mom likes it a lot. She has a large 2-room apartment. She has 3 meals a day. There's a courtyard in the front, which is a very nice sunny patio area with nice chairs that overlooks the park. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I've eaten there and it's good. My mom likes it. Every day, there are activities all day. So, my mom has her breakfast. She then goes to exercise class. After exercise, there might be a game, then she'll have lunch. Then there might be another game. And then, there's a movie in the afternoon. The best thing about it is that it's the most affordable one that I've seen. I was expecting it to be a lot lower quality because of the price, but I was surprised at how nice it is for what you pay. They clean her apartment once a week, and they change her linens. It is also located in a very nice area, right near the nice downtown.

Pacifica Senior Living Burlingame is a multistory building. They had a lovely dining room. The rooms I saw were beautiful. I saw places where people could socialize. I liked the location. It's across from the Burlingame Community Center. The staff during the tour was wonderful, really informative, very knowledgeable, trying to find out what our needs were, and very transparent. I was impressed with the place. They have a gym. It was near a hospital and it had access to downtown. It's very clean.

The tour I had at Pacifica Senior Living Burlingame went well. We went to the memory care and they were very caring and made us feel comfortable the minute we walked in. The room was extremely clean and nice. The big point was that you can have a small refrigerator and that's what sold me. It's a big room. There's a window in it. It's just really a very warm feeling I got.

We like Pacifica Senior Living Burlingame for my aunt. I like the structured activities. They offer things and encourage the seniors to do them. They come out of their room every day. She enjoyed the variety and food choices. The staff members we met with were great. They sat down, answered all our questions, went through the handbook, and explained everything that we would need. I feel like it was not quite the best fit for my aunt, but it was a great facility. The people were nice, and the staff was very supportive and attentive. They do a lot of checks on the clients, but also let them have independence as best as possible. They would help with housekeeping. Overall, it's a great place. They allowed us to come and have a meal complimentary. We sat in the eating area, and we got to experience ordering your food from the menu and having it brought to you. It's meant to be more bland and a little healthier. For an elderly care home, I think it's perfect. They have a salon, a courtyard, a library, and a dining area. They have coffee and tea available most of the day.

I liked Pacifica Senior Living Burlingame. I liked the building and the rooms that I saw. It's still under renovation and redecoration. They offered me a good rent, but I need to pin that down and get it in writing before I do anything. Everything I saw was very nice, new, and clean, and the people I met were very nice. The studio I saw was also ideal. It would be a great size and place for my husband, so I liked it. The staff who accommodated me was the sales director, and she was a very pleasant lady. It seemed like she was willing to work with me on the rent and care. There was a communal room with a piano where they had concerts. They have movies and a big television. They have social events, maybe like wine tasting or ice cream sundaes or something like that. The place is very nice indeed. It looks new.
