Pacifica Senior Living Menifee

Pacifica Senior Living Menifee was a very nice community. The tour went very well. The staff was very pleasant. I saw a studio and a one-bedroom and they were very nice in the main location, close to the dining hall. I did see a library and a movie room, and they looked very nice, too.

I went to see Pacifica Senior Living Menifee, it was beautiful and clean. The apartment was very nice, there was enough room, and it was big enough for one person. The staff that gave the tour was amazing, she was very helpful and answered any questions I had. The dining area was clean, they were very accommodating and the food was very good. They had a movie theater and a bingo hall, there was a lady doing puzzles in the card room. They have a lot of activities but we were there during lunchtime so they weren't doing activities yet.

We like that Pacifica Senior Living Menifee have a two-bedroom floor plan, but it was our last choice. I liked the guy who helped us. However, we had a hard time finding a place to park. It was originally designed as something else, so a lot of the things are not close together. It was kind of weird, like the twists and turns to get to the different apartments. The two-bedrooms are the farthest away from everything. There would be a library in one part of the facility, and then there would be the dining area in another part of the facility. So instead of things close together, they were all in different places. They weren't all in a generalized, centralized area. It also seemed kind of dark and not cheerful to me, and I felt like the floor plan wouldn't have been easy to move around. Like the pathway into the kitchen seemed smaller and not as open of a floor plan compared to other places. We looked into a room, and they were having horse racing. They rolled dice and then the staff would move these horses along. You sort of bet nickels and pennies, and they have these horses sort of racing. These horses have names like a racehorse, so it looked popular, and it looked like the residents liked that game. We also saw a list of the food, but it was not as good. The things that bother me, I don't think they can improve without just tearing it all down and rebuilding it, unfortunately. Maybe if people are more mobile and if they're not in walkers, then it would be fine. The things that bothered me were the distance and how the places were located in different areas. Even the pool outside, there was an angled uphill, so it was kind of hard to navigate in a walker or a wheelchair or something.

I toured Pacifica Senior Living Menifee, but it was not good for me. The facility was extremely nice and they had everything I wanted, except a full kitchen. I'm going to have to pay for meals and everything else, and I don't want to eat their food because I want to prepare my own meals. Everybody there was very pleasant. The staff who gave me the tour was extremely nice, polite, very knowledgeable, and very friendly. I enjoyed going there. It made me feel welcome. I didn't feel out of place or disgusted. I was very pleased. They had movers, so I could use them to move. The food looked really good and it smelled good, but I did not try it. They had bingo, crafts, and games.

The representative at Pacifica Senior Living Menifee Valley was very nice. We sat, we talked, we looked at the brochure, and she took us around to two different rooms. One was a studio and the other one was a one-bedroom. She took me around and showed me the facility, the dining area, and the library. They have a garden and a theater. It was excellent. If I was looking for a place for myself, I would stay there. The staff were excellent.

Pacifica Senior Living Menifee Valley was nice. They had a lot of activities. It is an older facility and has different levels. It's a little outdated. You have to go up the elevator to get to the dining room if you're handicapped. The staff was nice.

My wife and I will be moving into Pacifica Senior Living Menifee. The facility is very well maintained. It's very bright and pleasing. The tour was very friendly and helpful. The place is very nice and very pleasant to the eye. The people there seem to be happy, and that's important. We ate there twice. The food was good. We had lunch. The staff who showed us around was very helpful and friendly. We chose it because of the cost, mainly the rent. It was considerably lower than most other communities.

Pacifica Senior Living Menifee Valley is a very nice facility. They keep it in very good shape. There were no foul smells or anything. I met the director and she showed me a couple of the different rooms. The rooms were nice, large, well-kept, and ready to go. They have some openings, so I told my sister that 'they're ready whenever you can get your house sold, so let's go!' We're working on it, but she still goes back and forth a little bit. I think the people were very nice. The staff showed us all over the facility. She made sure that we had information on everything they offered, and we were very pleased. They were excellent. Very nice people. They gave you a very welcoming home-style feeling, and they gave us some cookies when we left and that was nice. The facility was a little bit older but still in good shape. They have a library, and they have dining where you could choose your own meals. They would come and clean the room once a week, and they would do the sheets once a week. They have a pool, and they have a piano in the main hall. They could sit down and play it for the people, and that would be great. The pets are allowed if you want them. They have a game room, and they have a washer and dryer available to the customer if they need them. The facilities are probably due for some upgrades, but they're good. The dining area looked clean and orderly. The people that were dining that we saw as we walked by looked to be conversing with each other, and it looked to be a healthy atmosphere.

I went to Pacifica Senior Living Menifee Valley. It was very nice and clean. There were plenty of people. It kind of seemed like a nice hotel. The room we were looking at was a one bedroom, one bathroom. It had a little kitchenette and a little patio. It was a nice size. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. I didn't try the food, but we went through the dining area. It was very nice. They had a really nice library and a movie room. They had a little church room, like a place they could go into. The dining room was huge. There are places where they have activities like bingo and stuff like that. There was a pool.

I'm in Pacifica Senior Living Menifee Valley and I love it here. It's one of the best places. The layout is beautiful and the caregivers are all wonderful. I'm in a 2-bedroom and 2-bath, and it's very spacious. For activities, they have chair volleyball, yoga, and all the different games that they play. They may have movie time too and there are just so many things that you can do. When I first moved here, I thought I didn't know if I could eat their food. I got sick and I had to go to a rehab facility for two weeks to get my strength back. The food there was horrible there so I was just glad to get back here. I think the food here is five-star. It's a wonderful place, the staff is good, the caregivers are very caring, and I really can't say enough about it. I'm independent but if something happens, I just push a button and they're right here to help me.

I took a tour of Pacifica Senior Living Menifee Valley memory care. I went there in January or the first part of February. I went over and toured that place, and it was fine. It's older, and I wasn't as impressed. I'm sure they're fine. I just like the other ones better. We saw a room that someone had occupied. I didn't see an unoccupied room. They had all their personal things in it, so I can't really comment on it. It looked fine. It was OK. It didn't suit what I thought my partner would be comfortable in. The staff took us around, and he was good. We got to memory care. They locked the door, so he couldn't get into it immediately. He had to get help from the other side, and I wasn't impressed with that. They locked their doors while the other ones I visited didn't. They just seemed open, and you didn't have to wait for someone to open the door. I didn't like that because I know they have patients that wander. I didn't meet any of the staff, but the person who gave the tour was fine. He wasn't really informative, but that was OK.

Pacifica Senior Living Menifee Valley is in a nice location. There's not a lot of buildings and things around and I liked that very much. The staff that I met was very nice and very welcoming. The room that I visited was a nice size, but it's just a little older than what I would prefer. Still, I liked the way the buildings were situated. They had some balconies in the apartments and I liked that they had an outdoor garden/area where you could go out and sit. So, you weren't expected to sit in your room when you didn't want to. They also told me about the other levels of care and they gave me brochures. So, they were very informative. All the questions that I needed to know were answered.

I toured Pacifica Senior Living Menifee for my dad. They were very good, and they also have a very pretty community. I had an excellent experience. The tour guide, I believe her name was Denise, was really great. She had a wealth of knowledge. She was very patient with my questions, and very, very helpful in helping in decision making. The rooms were actually very, very well-maintained, and very pretty. They were not too big and not too small; just enough. They were comfortable and like a bedroom. The community was very clean and looked very safe. The outer spaces were really, really nice as well. There were lots of trees, seating, and a lot of nice breezes. It was a nice little area where the residents could walk around. I think I was walking in just as they started their meal. The residents seem to be eating and enjoying their meals. Their dining area was also very adequate, and looked comfortable.

I chose Pacifica Senior Living Menifee Valley for my dad. It was very clean and nice. The people were nice. The little studio apartments were very nice, and I just like the whole atmosphere of it. I know they had meals, they had a doctor, a podiatrist, they had a garden club and all kinds of activities for the veterans and the seniors, and they had transportation. They had all kinds of stuff.

We liked Pacifica Senior Living Menifee Valley, but one thing I wanted was an oven or a stove, but they didn't have one. Some parts of the carpeting were kind of marked, but the rooms were very nice and clean. Everything looked good and everybody was nice. They also have a pool, a workout room, and a theater.

Pacifica Senior Living Menifee Valley is very nice, it's really fancy. We walked in, it was beautiful and bright. The people seemed good, but when they gave us the price, there was no way we can afford it. It was way too expensive. The staff who gave us the tour was real sweet and nice. It's ritzy looking, that's why their price is high. Everything was very clean, very bright, and very nice. It looked like a nice area, it's like a big beautiful hotel in the middle of the city.

I can't tell you about the food as I have not eaten there but my mother says it is very good. The staff are all so helpful and kind and seem to genuinely care about their residents. The facilities are nice - they repainted the outside into soothing grey tones but they need to follow the theme inside as the oranges and browns are dated inside. The price seems comparable to others around, maybe a little less, but we were interested more in the location. I think they are doing the best they can with activities due to Covid-19 but I hope when we are through this pandemic they are able to offer more. I would recommend Pacifica to friends and family!

We chose Pacifica Senior Living because it was a good value and the facility is really nice and well-maintained. Also, the Community Relations Director did an excellent job of answering all of our questions and making sure the apartment was really nice for us.

The activities is positive, energetic and hard-working. The facility provides as many activities as possible given the limitations during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The staff has been exceptional at providing a safe living environment. Residents were provided the opportunity to get the Pfizer injections and over 80% took advantage of the offer.

I toured Pacifica Senior Living Menifee Valley's independent living. It was very inviting, very, very clean, and they're very friendly. The environment that I saw (as far as the relationship between the actual people who are living there and the people who are there to serve) was extremely friendly. They seemed like they had a pretty good relationship with the people. It was just really good. The head lady (whose name I can't remember) was extremely friendly, very inviting, and very good at letting me know what went on in the place. She gave me a terrific tour. If we could, of course, I really would love to put my grandmother there. She will be able to do laundry there. She's getting rides, the dinners, and snacks. She gets any snacks she wants, any time, and 3 meals a day. It was just really good. They have very clean places to hold meetings, church meetings, or things like that. They exercise too. The people who work there that passed us were very friendly. They were very cordial. They smiled and stopped to say hi.

I visited and I was able to see an apartment, and it was only a one-bedroom. It was nice. It was average. One-bedroom, one bath. The lady was wonderful, very good, and patient. It looked nice and I would have liked to be able to see more, but with COVID it was limited. They were very professional there. It was very busy, I could tell, and the girl at the front desk was getting lots of calls. I think it was people who lived there calling. It looked like a very nice facility. It felt very homey and the lady that I spoke to and gave me the tour was very nice and accommodating. Even if my parents did not want to go there, if I needed any help, she told me to call her. That area out there was a little desolate. It's towards the hill and right up against the hill, but it looked nice. They didn't have independent, and only offered assisted, and they make you have to go through a doctor's report and nurse thing.

I am a new resident, 2 weeks, and this is the place if you need assisted living. My wife and I share a cozy one bedroom apartment with our own furniture and we moved our sweet girl cat in with us. The amenities are great, the activities wonderful and the cuisine compares with a good restaurant, with infinite varieties of menu choices. The staff is friendly and professional, from Jennifer, the director and Karen, nurse in charge if caring and eager to help. I am grateful to found a home here with my wife.

It was fine. There was nothing wrong with it, but my mom wanted to stay in Mission Viejo. Really nice facility. The rooms are great. The facility is great. The food smells good. The dining area is like a hotel. They were watching movies, playing games, playing cards, and doing exercises. It's by a hospital. There's a strip mall, but not a regular mall close by.

My mom has not moved in yet, but she's going to in a month. She'll have a studio, and she'll be comfortable there. Their staff seemed to be very helpful, caring and excellent. They have all kinds of card games, puzzles, entertainment, movie every night at 6:00 and an exercise group. There's also a swimming pool and a library.

My aunt is here. Other than she has some plumbing issues, but that has been taken care of, the facility is okay. She has a big room. It's like two rooms being put to one. The food is okay and I have eaten there. They got a line-up of activities, but my aunt does not go to any of them as she is kind of a loner, but she goes to the exercise every morning and that’s it. Overall, it's a nice place.

We did visit and this facility is actually a very, very nice place. The rooms were nice. The people were accommodating. The people that lived there were friendly, but dad does not want to live in Sun City because it's too hot. They invited us for lunch and the food was fine.

Our visit was wonderful. My dad was very impressed with it. I think if he has pretty much decided that he needs to move, he is going to move to this place. The place was clean and it smelled nice. They did have a pool there for their residents. I liked that the facility had a good atmosphere and that the surroundings were very comfortable. Their dining room was perfect. My dad had a good meal and he enjoyed it. We saw their apartments. The studio room that we saw was small, but the one-bedroom was just perfect. Some of the units even have patios or balconies. Residents were nice. They seemed to get along well with the personnel that were there.

I had the chance to visit and saw that the place is lovely. They have a lot of greenery over the place. I don't know if the rooms are big because I didn't see them as I was more interested with the studio, but they didn't have a studio available at that time. The staff are very nice. The place is close to a little shopping center which makes it easy for the residents to shop.

It was too formal for me. But the people were nice and the food was good. It just didn't appeal to me. It was clean and neat, the residents were happy, but they were pretty formal although I didn't mind that one because I liked that it is in California and is near where my family is.
