Review for Santa Barbara Memory Care

I like the staff there could be more. I think the price is very competitive

Critical

Inadequate care. Understaffed.

My loved one passed away last month, and her ring which was an heirloom went missing from her finger. Her teeth were never brushed, and I was sad to see her when the care was mediocre at best. The staff seamed to be on their phones a lot and not paying much attention.

I toured this community and it was great. The staff was friendly and cleanliness was good. Just too far from home for us.

Thank you for keeping my sister and I connected. I appreciate the video chats and love that you make it available for her. Even though I am out of state, I feel very connected to her, thanks to staff.

Amazing Special People

This is my first introduction to a memory care facility (not a perfect world). The amount of responsibility that goes into this type of work is unbelievably challenging most of the time. I have the utmost respect for all that are a part of Pacifica S.B. You are amazing, special people. I thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart for all that in a day or night depending on shift. You are compassionate, caring, humorous, loving, patient people. I love you all! Thank you!

I am a friend or relative of a current / past resident

This community feels like home. We are Welcome and my Uncle is very calm and happy here. We love how the staff are so attentive. This is a great place for people with dementia.
