Community Reviews
A word of thanks for the great care given our parents that also benefited our family.
reviewed on: 03/06/2015 by Grateful In DelawareFrom start to finish, Pacifica Senior Living of Bakersfield was the right choice, not just for our parents, but also for the rest of our family. Our parents never intended on leaving the home they lived in for nearly 60 years, so when Dad admitted they needed help it was no small matter. After researching multiple options and considering what we felt was most needed for them: 1. A smaller facility that would give them the extra attention our parents needed--both medically and personally. 2. Offered good food, a varied menu and didn't have that "institutional" smell so many facilities have. 3. Had staff who enjoyed and appreciated older people as they encouraged them, to get out of their room by interacting with others as well as take advantage of the numerous outings that were available. 4. Would do what they could to keep our family "in the loop" when needs or problems arose, be it medical, social or physical. 5. That it would be a welcoming environment for visitors to come and go. Pacifica Senior Living provided all of that and much, much more. In fact, the biggest benefit we saw within the first couple of months was a great improvement in their physical health. Enjoying good, healthy meals and getting their medications on time and in the right dosage made a huge difference for them. Also, we saw vast improvement in how they interacted with others as well as with each other. What we realized later was that living on their own--increasingly isolated from the world around them--had resulted in them becoming almost combative in their interactions with other people as well as their family. The good environment and patience of the staff who served and worked with them, brought back the kinder, gentler side of our parents. That brought about healing in relationships, which I believe was the greatest gift to our family. Pacifica Senior Living of Bakersfield was definitely the best choice for our parents as well as for our family. I always enjoyed walking into the smell of good food being prepared in the kitchen or the clean sent of laundry being taken care of. We could not recommend it more highly.
Review of Pacifica Senior Living
reviewed on: 04/12/2019 by BrendaMy dad moved to Pacifica 5 months ago and is very happy there. The staff treats all the residents like family. He is well taken care of and that is such a blessing to us.
good overall
reviewed on: 06/12/2015 by AnonymousI had my mother on the waiting list for Pacifica Senior Living of Bakersfield since last November. In early April she fell and broke her hip while we were still on the waiting list. A bedroom then became open, and they were fantastic at accommodating her and getting her moved in. At first she was moved in to the memory care facility as that was the only room they had available. She has since moved to the other side and there are some challenges with some of the staff there. I am trusting that it will work out in time.

Review of Pacifica Senior Living
reviewed on: 04/12/2019 by LynnMy mother-in-law loved at Pacifica first and thrived here, so I was confident my own mother would also be comfortable and well cared for in this warm and loving atmosphere. The staff in every capacity gives mom the attention she requires and adjusts to her changing needs.
