Community Reviews
Mom's Place
reviewed on: 08/26/2014 by AnonymousMy sister and I toured 4 senior communities in Bakersfield looking for a suitable residence for our mom who could no longer live alone, didn't want to live with either of her daughters and was resistant to moving. We immediately liked Pacifica Senior Living. The first thing we noticed was the brightness of the facility. We also noticed the residents sitting in common areas visiting with each other. The Community Director, Ailey, was very friendly and reassuring about the move. The Activity Director, Carol, was energetic and obviously enjoyed her job. The rooms were sized about the same as the other communities, but seemed to be brighter. The layout of the facility made it easy to navigate and less confusing. We also liked that they didn't immediately assume that Mom needed memory care if though we informed Ailey that Mom had diagnosed age-related dementia. She told us they rarely moved someone directly to memory care. They prefer to assess a person over time to see how they can best take care of them. This was a contrast to the other communities. Moving day was stressful, but Ailey and the staff were, beyond expectation, reassuring and helpful. Mom really liked it there which was a huge relief to my sister and me. The only negative comment she ever made was about the food. She thought it too bland, but she wasn't losing weight so we knew she was eating healthy. We were very happy with the attention and care she received and would recommend Pacifica Senior Living Bakersfield for assisted living.

reviewed on: 10/28/2015 by MariPacifica Bakersfield was an excellent choice for my mother. The facility was always clean and the staff was very friendly and caring. My mother was treated with dignity and respect while she was there. I would highly recommend Pacifica to a family looking for a safe and caring memory care facility.
Review of Pacifica Senior Living of Bakersfield - Bakersfield, CA
reviewed on: 11/17/2017 by AnonymousWe like the smaller community. Staff seems very friendly and residents seem happy and content. I understand rooms will be refurbished as they come available but I did notice the yellowed vents (bathroom) and wall switches. Mini blinds should be upgraded.
Review of Pacifica Senior Living Bakersfield
reviewed on: 08/06/2020 by Jennifer WolbertonMy mother has now been in the memory care facility at Pacifica for over a year and a half since we moved here from San Diego. Since we began her in memory care over six years ago, Pacifica remains a top-notch facility and far better from the highly-rated facility she was in San Diego. I never knew how lacking she was until we found Pacifica. She is not only well taken care of, but the love and attention the staff provides to not only my mother but to all residents is evident. They tend to my mother's likes and dislikes while keeping her in activities and meals in a custom-like manner. They are on top of any health issues that might arise and are quick to communicate these issues to our family My mother is simply living the best life she could have with having dementia and being 91. All the staff not only know every resident, but they all know family members of the residents During these trying times of COVID-19, so much precaution is placed under the caring caregivers (all love!). [name removed] executive director, [name removed] community relations director and the resident care director [name removed] (for my mother in memory care) who are truly like family to all the residents and family alike. I am grateful that the infrequent times I have called, [name removed] at the front desk (in the assisted care building) knows who I am and my mother! The family of [name removed] is thankful for Pacifica.
My review of Pacifica Senior Living
reviewed on: 03/29/2021 by Susan BDue to COVID we have never been inside the care facility or seen our mother's room. But she seems content and well cared for. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
