Our tour at Pacifica Senior Living Forest Trace was very comprehensive. Diana was the one that did our tour there, and she was great. She showed us through the clubhouse and through several apartments of different sizes. I was very happy with it. It's full of a lot of beautiful artwork. It's very open. There's a lot of large windows, so there's good light. The apartments themselves are larger than a lot of others we've seen. We're going back on Monday to try the food. They have a large craft center. I am interested in their water aerobics, and I'm interested in the book club. They have a nice library there, and it sounds to me like they have pretty much any activity that we would want to do there. The apartments were extremely accessible, and their layouts were well-thought out. They had a huge rainstorm the day before, so there were greenery blown about. It looks like they work hard to keep it up. We have pretty much made up our mind that that's where we want to be.

I've been to Pacifica Senior Living Forest Trace. It was nice, but the studio was so small, and the closet was so small, I think you can fit four items of clothing. For the price, I couldn't take that one. They had a lot of land, it's off the highway, and they had security, but the hallways were small. I only saw the studio and the one bedroom. The staff was great. I remember, the neighborhood was good.

They were all really good at Pacifica Senior Living. The staff was all super sweet. The facility was very clean and it seemed really safe, we really liked it. The apartments were newer and everybody's nice which is good. The location is good as well, it wasn't too far from things and it was a good walking distance from restaurants.

From the first moment my father moved into Pacifica Forest Trace independent living, the staff went out of their way to insure he felt welcomed and quickly made new friends. Whether meeting his new friends to socialize, share a meal or attend an event or inviting his old friends to visit have given him a new active life. The entire staff has been extraordinary. He enjoys everything: delicious meals; gym; beautiful park setting; activities. But I think most of all just knowing he can remain independent and still have support IF needed made all the difference. From the family's perspective, what sets Pacifica Forest Trace apart from the others is the staff - their friendliness and dedication is superb. Everyone has been so supportive that they have become family to my father. Plus the peace of mind knowing there is a 24/7 nurse on duty is invaluable. We are a thankful family.

I'm very happy to live in Forest Trace. I feel safe and secure. The employees are very helpful, pleasing and friendly. I enjoy some of the shows and lectures that I go to see at times. I made good friends and we call ourselves "The Golden Boys". I play competitive Trivia in a team that I enjoy very much.

Two of my dearest friends have been living at Pacifica at Forest Trace and I’ve visited many times. Besides the lovely facilities the pleasant and helpful staff has made my friends’ lives easier and enjoyable. And at this difficult time with the Corona virus my friends tell me the staff is helpful and pleasing still. I am so grateful for the care my dear friends are receiving. Thank you so much.

Pacifica Senior Living Forest Trace was lovely, but it was quite large for my mother-in-law. The staff was very nice. The apartments were nice. The atmosphere was very lovely. It's even prettier than others, but you would have to go to another building for social activities. Her memory is not great, and we felt that a smaller building would be easier for her to remember where to go. They had a lot more amenities than the others, but it would've been a little bit too overwhelming for her.

Recently, we decided to move my parents to an Independent living facility. We interviewed and inspected many of the facilities within the area and decided on Pacifica Forest Trace. Interestingly, it was an easy decision. Dealing initially with Michelle and then with Indi, the process couldn't have been smoother. From the moment we first set foot in the facility to the actual move in date, we were impressed every step of the way. Indi, doesn't understand the word "no" and could not have been more accommodating for my parents. She truly went above and beyond every step of the process. My parents call me daily to tell me just how much they enjoy their new residence, how great the food is and just how special every member of the Pacifica team really is. What initially was thought to be a dreaded experience, turned out to be one of the smartest decisions we have made. One word comes to mind when I think about Pacifica Forest Trace and that's "WOW"!

My parents are in Pacifica Senior Living Forest Trace. The community looks OK, but we have seen some decline in services. In just a short time they're taking away things like the music in the afternoons, they also cut back on meals, and plan to increase prices for guests. If they weren't seniors, they wouldn't stay, so I don't think I could recommend them. However, the staff is phenomenal, they're the best thing about the place. The meals have declined and the portions have decreased. When we were there a couple of months ago it was so good, and now you'll only see a skimpy plate, plus it's not so good anymore. The facilities are a bit old, but excellent.

The staff and the living quarters at Pacifica Senior Living Forest Trace were very good. The problem there is that the assisted living and the independent living were not separated. What happens is you have a lot of people in wheelchairs, walkers, and everything all over the place. The common dining area has a lot of people in wheelchairs and walkers, but they have a beautiful pool, a lot of rooms and different libraries. There was a lot of good things in that place.

I have a neighbor who stays at Pacifica Senior Living Forest Trace. She showed us around, and we became interested in the facility for ourselves. The apartment was very roomy. The food was very good. The staff we met was very pleasant and professional. The dining area is beautiful and feels like being in a cruise ship. They have a happy hour with a piano player every day for a couple of hours. They have a board in the lobby which shows all of the activities for the day, like shows every week and movies every day. Plus, they have a van that takes the residents out to dinner. It is a very active community.

My wife and I both agree Pacifica Senior Living Forest Trace is magnificent. First of all when we started to consider moving our children were questioning why we should make a move. They said "it is too hard to move, you have a beautiful place and why would you want to move into a Retirement Community". After coming to visit us at Pacifica Forest Trace they understood why we moved. They were very impressed with the staff. We said to our children we told you so! We are enjoying ourselves thoroughly. We are constantly busy morning, noon and night. We visited many senior living communities prior to making our move to Pacifica Forest Trace. On our first visit when we walked into the Lobby we knew we were home. We moved in April 29, 2015 and have been please ever since.

Forest Trace is a unique form and friendly independent living facility. It was designed and built by a family that originally owned hotels and entertainment centers. They also have some assisted living facility setup more like a resort than a typical convalescent center. They have a dining room where they served your meals with a waiter. There’s a different menu every day and different things every day. They are very kind, and the cleaning staff does a wonderful job. They’re always disinfecting everything. They offer a lot of activities that you may or may not participate in up to your abilities. They have a lot of parking and many independent people there still drive. They have nurses and staff fulltime. They have bingo, book room and entertainment every night. They also have a beauty salon, nail salon, and a little store. The fun thing I think for everybody there is they have a happy hour, where they all come down and they have a cocktail before dinner. It’s just a very nice, pleasant facility with beautiful grounds, and a pool. They have a beautiful independent lifestyle. Every night they have something like playing piano, singing songs, comedians in the lobby, and plays and different entertainments in a separate building like an opera house. The food is really good. For breakfast there’s a huge buffet, and there is no lunch, but dinner is very fancy; they serve restaurant style. They have buses if they want to go somewhere and pick you up. My mother has a one bedroom. It has a small kitchen table for two, a refrigerator, a garbage disposal, a nice balcony, and a full bath. The bathroom has a special tub that’s easy for seniors to walk in and out of. Once a week, they come in and clean. The unit has its own washer and dryer, and you can do small laundry; very nice setting. This place is like a cruise ship. In terms of security, nothing has been stolen for the three years my mother has been there. It is not a memory care facility; people come and go. They have a gate, and they have a special permit. The security is not an issue.
