Pacifica has a positive and upbeat environment. Staff is absolutely great. every staff knows your name and has a smile on their face. There is always someone to assist you. The food is excellent . I was very pleased as so many places don't have a quality list of foods. Also they have a menu that has many great and tasty choices.

I toured Pacifica Senior Living Escondido. I liked the facility and the environment was very pleasant. I liked the staff. They are friendly. We met a lady who had lived there for ten years, and it's good to hear from the residents there. We got a really good tour and Shaun was really good. He was very helpful and answered a lot of questions. I like the amenities they offer. The environment looks clean and sociable. They have a salon, a game room, and an exercise room. They have a movie theater r...

Pacifica Senior Living Escondido looked very nice and clean. I had a tour of the general area and the dining area. The people were very friendly, I got a lot of support, and they answered all the questions I had. When I arrived, they were already there to meet me. I didn't have to sit and wait.

We toured Pacifica Senior Living Escondido. You could tell that the property was a little older, but well-maintained. The staff was pleasant and apologized profusely for not being able to be there. That staff didn't realize that we were coming at all. The girl at the front desk was very sweet and she kind of showed us around the lobby. We didn't get to see any rooms, but she answered our questions adequately. It was clean, and the residents seemed happy. We saw the dining room, a TV room, and th...

I like Pacifica Senior Living Escondido. It was wonderful. If my dad was more independent, I would have signed him up. It was very friendly and very clean. The residents were happy. Everybody was friendly. I liked it a lot, but it's a little too big for my dad, like walking to the eating area and having to go upstairs to the card room and stuff like that. It's all great if you're mobile and can move around good, but right now that isn't going to work for him. They have a movie theater and they'r...

I visited the facility three times. Rachel was kind enough to take me on a tour at the spur of the moment. I was impressed with everything. They had musical guests singing and entertaining in the Dining room for the residents. It was great. I looked at the activity sheet for the month and was impressed by that too. We are in the process of looking for a place for my mom. And the next time I came I brought my husband and the third time I brought my mom and brother. When Rachel took us on the ...

I'm happy and my dad is very happy at Pacifica Senior Living Escondido. He seems to enjoy it a lot and the people there are just very warm and inviting. It's a clean facility, they have good food and good programs for the seniors, and they have good care. He's at their assisted living. They have exercises and bingo. On the holidays they have social functions too. When somebody new comes in, they make sure that they're welcomed. They actually do a ribbon-cutting and a picture of the seniors to we...

My husband and I spent a lot of time looking for the perfect place for my MIL. From the first moment we arrived at Pacifica, it felt right. The staff was friendly and so informative. They were patient with us as we asked 1000 questions and helped us navigate the process. When it was time for her to move in, we have various room sizes and locations to choose from. We never felt pressured and their intentions were always in the right place. A big thank you to Rachel and Amy for helping us so much....

I am extremely grateful we found PSL, they are truly the best. We dropped of our mom and it was heart breaking to see her cry. Amy and Rachel were great and helped us work through it and figure out what to do to make mom feel better. Even after we left, they both sent us pictures of mom having fun and kept us up to date with how she was doing. Its been about 2 weeks and mom says she likes it there and she has so many friends. Because of the staff at PSL we are now able to carry on knowing our mo...

Top notch facility. Everyone is eager to please. Residents are treated like family. I feel lucky to have my mom in such a loving, caring atmosphere. The rooms are clean, well maintained and very safe to live in. All the caregivers genuinely care and go the extra mile to ensure residents are well taken care of. The experience starts at the front desk with a smile and gets better from there!! Amy the facility director has an open door……I highly recommend this facility!

I moved my parents here in June of 2021 after looking online and taking a tour. They had been living at an independent living facility but needed more care. I cannot say enough good things about the care staff here. I was able to sleep better at night knowing my parents were being well taken care of. My father has dementia and was declining being cooped up during COVID. He has come alive here. He loves going to the dining room to see his new friends and participate in the social activitie...

I toured the assisted living part of Pacifica Senior Living Escondido and I didn't like that it had more people that needed a lot of assistance or were further along in dementia. At this point, my mom doesn't need a lot of assistance, so we're looking for a place that's more geared towards independence. So, I didn't think she would get as engaged as she would in other places, but they gave me a carrot cake muffin for the tour.

We moved my mom here 1 month ago...could not be more pleased with the care, cleanliness. and compassion of the staff and facility. They go out of their way to include my mom in activities and make her feel welcome. The staff are friendly and know my moms name and what she likes to order for breakfast. I feel confident that my mom is in the best of hands.

Pacifica Senior Living Escondido is going to be doing some renovations, and they're going to put more of the flooring down. It looks old. The inside looks very old. There's no carpeting in the bedroom, which I think is a little sad. They should have carpeting, at least in the bedroom. I can understand for sanitation reasons they don't want to do that, but it just makes it look so cold. You would have to purchase rugs or carpets for the living room and the bedroom (that would come out of your own...

I visited Pacifica Senior Living Escondido, and it was excellent. They had movies, games, a bridge or a card gallery. The room was just a room with bathroom. Most of the rooms do not have pictures; you kind of bring your own.

My Mom has been a resident of Pacifica Senior Living in Escondido for the past 2 years. I haven’t seen my Mom this happy in a long time. Since she moved in, she made many friends, enjoys daily activities and loves the staff. Everyone there has gone out of their way to accommodate any needs she has had. I honestly feel the staff really cares about their residents. It’s not just a job to them, it’s much more. My Mom has had some medical issues these past few months, and I feel so blessed to have...

We visited Pacifica Senior Living. It was very informative, they were very friendly and we like the set-up there particularly the memory care unit we were interested in for my mom. They took us there and introduced us to the staff. People were nice and very friendly. We saw a few different accommodations there. We were particularly interested in that place because they take the assisted living waiver because my mom is with Medicaid, but apparently it takes a lot of time. I actually applied onlin...

My 72-year-old mother has resided at Pacifica Senior Living in Escondido for more than five years and I must say that choosing this facility was the best & hardest decision my sister and I have ever made. At first, mom was reluctant to give up her apartment and live among strangers. She thought she was letting go of her freedom but this was far from the truth. We simply needed for someone to monitor her daily medications, prepare healthy meals and do light housecleaning. Mom could no longer ...

When our brother needed to move into Memory Care, we were given many options for places to visit. After seeing 2 other places, we knew Pacifica Senior Living in Escondido was exactly what we wanted for him. The rooms are spacious, the common area is inviting, and the beautiful outside grounds are well sized for walking and visiting. There are challenges with all Memory Care patients, and the staff handle our brother professionally and with empathy. They know what works best for our brother. ...

We didn't choose Pacifica Senior Living Escondido because even though they have senior care and memory care, my in-laws couldn't be together in the same room and they want to be together. The place itself was great and it looked great. It was clean, the people were friendly and it was everything I wanted for my father-in-law. Plus the staff who accommodated us was very good, we had a pleasant tour experience there. I like their dining room, the activity room, we got to walk the halls and see the...

So very pleased with the community and staff. Jackie, Amy and Carline go above and beyond and we dont know what we would have done without them. It is a scary situation when you have to find a memory care community and don't know what to do. Unfortunately the first home we found was not going to work. It was very close to our house but they had no social activities or proper care for our mom. Thank goodness for Pacifica Senior Living Escondido! From the moment we called Amy was amazing.

My father-in-law is enjoying being at Pacifica Senior Living Escondido. He really likes the place. He likes that they clean his apartment, and he really enjoys the staff because they're really friendly and caring. He doesn't need the staff a lot, but he hasn't complained about anything yet. He thinks it's great. Their food is OK. He really likes it, but he was having Meals on Wheels at his other place, so he's comparing it with that. Regardless, the food is good, and he can have as much as he wa...

I chose Pacifica Senior Living Escondido for my sister because when we did the interview, they seemed to be a good fit. They had the location that we were looking for, and they had a room in the right location that's easy for her to access everything. The staff was very caring, but they had trouble following the dietary orders. She was on a special diet, and they said they could provide it but they could not. We talked about it a couple of times, but I don't think it has been fully resolved. For...

My husband is a resident of Pacifica Senior Living Escondido. We chose this place because it's related to Meridian and is run by the same people. The rooms are nice, and they have very friendly staff. They have activities in the memory care unit, like going on outings on Tuesdays and Thursdays to get them away from the place for an hour or so. The food is like what you'd have at home. They also have a nice green belt so the memory folks can go outside and not have to stay indoors all the time. W...

Pacifica Senior Living Escondido is an excellent facility. They are pet-friendly. They are very flexible on allowing a temporary respite trial for a few weeks, just to make sure he was comfortable before we put him in the facility. They were getting to know what the needs of my brother-in-law were. They are very, very in a personal level in their accommodation for him. He doesn’t have complaints with regards to their food.
