There was a lot that we liked about Pacifica Senior Living Oakland Heights. First, the place was very nice, then we liked the fact that we could transition into assisted living as needed. We also liked that they had physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy on-site. One of the selling points was you live in separate little cottages in the independent living there. They had a gym, a game room, and a movie theater. The lady giving us the tour was very nice, too.

I'm a resident in the independent living section of Pacifica Senior Living Oakland Heights. Although I'm not getting assistance from them, I do take my meals in the main building, and I am comfortable here. I have been here for four months now, and I find it quite pleasant. It's not perfect, but it's better than most. I find the executive directors to be pretty much very agreeable to most suggestions and they seem to have the residents' best interest at heart. I find the place pleasant, and I find the grounds surrounding it very appealing. It's a comfortable place, and I can't expect them to do more than they have done during this terrible time for everybody. With the housekeeping and the servers, I would rate them a 4, but I'm not completely happy with the maintenance people.
The dining set-up is the same. It's out of the dining room with all the other mobile people that can come to the dining room. I've never had their breakfast, but their lunch is your main meal, and your dinner is normally sandwiches. I wish it was the other way around, but that's how they serve it, and very early you eat lunch at 11:30 and dinner at 4:30. They have bingo, movie at most nights, and exercise in the morning. Occasionally they have something out of the ordinary. For instance, they had a well-received talent show that went over very well. I would say that was all of the assistant social director is doing; I don't think there is much from the administration or from the director of social activities. I think this is the assistant's whole idea, but it's lacking. I'm in a studio apartment, so it's very small. I pay a little less than $4000, and it will go up in January.

The staff are very dedicated to the general welfare of all the residents by creating a great sense community with various activities - such as weekly social events and movies, etc. The food is solid - healthy and varied. The dining room is really a restaurant with table service. The grounds are well maintained with flowers blooming all year-round - the roses gardens are a favorite as are the flowering trees. My father's cottage is charming - spacious and well appointed.

Amazing grounds, friendly staff. They try to help the residents keep up their spirits during the pandemic in all sorts of small ways. Ruth is extremely patient with my father. Many activities which Will hopefully come online this year as the pandemic recedes.

My 93+ year old mother has been in lndependent Living at Pacifica Oakland for almost 8 years.
SHE LOVES HER APARTMENT. It has plenty of storage space and really makes her feel safe and secure.
She adjusted well, primarily because the move was her choice. Her interactions with staff are good because she is a reasonable woman and willing to compromise on most things. She enjoys the arts/crafts programs, movies, lectures, and has made a group of friends who meet every week old-fashioned salon-style.
The Pacifica bus to Kaiser allows her to take herself to doctor appointments on her own, which is wonderful.

We moved my mother in law into one of the cottages about 3 years ago. She lived indecently without supervised care, but was able to enjoy 3 meals a day and activities. She had a fridge, microwave and front and back porch. We'd drop off light groceries once a week and made arrangements for outside housekeeping. She washed her clothes on site. She eventually transitioned into memory care, but had developed releationships with staff that eased that transition

We've lived here 3 years. We find the accommodations we live in, the apartment, 2-bed/2-bath, with sitting room and so forth is very comfortable. We have a little deck and the property is beautifully landscaped. In our area we have some roses and in-season azaleas. Lots of roses and quite beautiful flowers. Our apartment is relatively modern. We're in the Salem Woods building. Has a kitchen. The food is ok. It's nourishing, there's plenty of it. You live in an institution with 100+ people; it's not like going to hotel. There are plenty of activities. There's music, art, puzzles, history, walking outdoors. All kinds of activities. You can do it or not. The activities are good. I do some; others I don't. They have a bus that will take you to the doctor. The same bus will take you shopping. They offer amenities, excursions, such as a drive to the Port of Oakland, or to the observatory in the hills. For people who have a car, there's parking (garage and street). My daughters come over; there's handicapped parking. When I first came here, I had 2-3 good caregivers who were really helpful to me.

I have been here over three years. The staff and caregivers are helpful and caring. The food is generally good and lots of it. The grounds are nicely landscaped and maintained. There are lots of activities and a bus to take me to the doctor.

Pacifica Senior Living Oakland Heights was wonderful. Scott took me around and it was great. I liked all the apartments very much, and the dining room looked very nice. The setting was beautiful because it was very woodsy, green, and very lovely. I was very impressed by the amount of closet spaces in the rooms as well. However, I do a lot of painting and artwork, and the space for art is very limited there, so that's a concern for me. I really wanted them to somehow accommodate and have more space for artists to do their work, where we could store our easels, take it out, and work. Also, I hope they could have a driver that could drive the individuals to where they needed to go.
With COVID, there's not as much activity going on, but I saw that they were getting ready to show a movie. It's a lovely environment, and it didn't feel at all institutional to me. Scott, the public relations person who took me around was wonderful, and then Aisis, the woman who greeted me, was wonderful too.

I went to Pacifica Senior Living Oakland Heights. It's a nice place. I'd move there in a minute, but I can't afford it. It seemed very warm and inviting. The young lady who assisted us was very friendly, and very practiced in the art of making you feel welcome and showing us the various places and the opportunities, and the choices that we would have. They provide a pool table, and a viewing room with a TV. The dining area was very nice, and I met the chef. They have cottages scattered around the area, and it's very attractive.

Pacifica Senior Living Oakland Heights was great. The staff during the tour was fantastic. Everything looked adequate. It was the best place that we saw out of four locations. They had activities and my uncle has gone there two times as a guest and participant.

The appearance and layout of Pacifica Oakland Heights is quite tremendous. The buildings and facilities are beautiful. The staff members are phenomenal, wonderful, and friendly people. I've only been here for several weeks and they always seem to know my name. They have a very large dining room that's beautifully done, where they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. I prefer to make my own breakfast and dinner on occasion because I have a nice kitchen. There's a tremendous amount of activities for the residents, and you can do what you like. Tomorrow we're going to the zoo, which should be fun.

I had an appointment with Pacifica. The lady there was not very responsive and acted like I did not have an appointment. She showed me somebody's room that was in total disarray and didn't seem to have time for me. She was not very informative and not forthcoming with information. They had two buildings, but I did not feel safe. I did not like Pacifica at all.

Pacifica Senior Living Oakland Heights was very nice. I liked the resident's apartment a lot. I thought the renovations they were doing there would really make it a much more inviting facility, and I liked the staff there that I met. I thought they were very pleasant, very attentive and informative. I thought the food was average. They had usual activities. They had crafts and fitness. They were renovating the place, so they were renovating the fitness room. They had their own in-house beauty salon. They had social activities and movies. They could improve on their food and the entrance lobby. I thought the rest of the place was quite nice, but the entrance lobby where you would go for the reception, I thought they should make that a nicer looking. They should look a little more luxurious and inviting. The facilities and apartments in the other building were very nice and impressive, but they needed nicer furniture and decor for the entrance on their reception area.
