Review for Escondido Senior Living

My relative isn't thrilled with the food and dining room service at this time. Staff is awesome...everything from reception to health coordinator, housekeeping, etc. Plus I notice they are able to handle "difficult" tenants professionally and with compassion. Its a hard job, but they do it well. Also I like being able to pay the bill through their website.

Review for Escondido Senior Living

Often they would contact me in the middle of the night to inform me of frivolous things.. Care Staff was not as promised at signing, Told he would receive 3 showers and maybe received 2. What activities? Only witnessed one activity and it just seemed like a few people sitting in the courtyard not communicating.

We apologize if our attempts to keep communications open may have been a little over-zealous. We are very proud of this community as we mainly receive compliments, though we will take your comments under advisement and will follow-up.

I went to take a tour and everyone was so nice and friendly. Love restaurant style dinning, the outings, the movie theater and activities available. I can not wait to move in. My family and I are very excited. If you looking for assisted living or memory care you should check out Pacifica Senior Living.

Review for Pacifica Senior Living Escondido

The office staff was great. The rooms are very nice. My dad had a room overlooking the inside courtyard we enjoyed the birds. Getting meds arranged was a bit challenging because they were moving to a new system but the staff was on top of it the whole time.
