We toured Pacifica Senior Living Skylyn. It didn't have that many amenities that I could see. The living space that my sister and I saw was very small. That was not something that we wanted for my mother. The kitchen space was very tiny. The facility was a little bit older, but they said that they were getting ready to renovate. I saw the 2-bedroom apartment with a balcony, and the appliances were included - a refrigerator, an oven, and a microwave. The staff who assisted us with the tour was very knowledgeable and had a lot of information. She gave us some suggestions as well, some other options, which I thought were very good and very outstanding on her part.

I toured Pacifica Senior Living Skylyn for myself. The place seemed to be very friendly and appealing. The staff who assisted me was excellent. She was very good at showing me what was available. She walked me through and she was very helpful. I saw a very nice 2-bedroom apartment. The layout of the facility seemed acceptable. It was a place that I thought I would possibly return for another look, and possibly try to sign up for. I think I would enjoy living there.

Pacifica Senior Living Skylyn is an older facility, so it needs maintenance and repair pretty much throughout. The staff was nice. They seemed to care for the residents. They seemed to be doing the best they can with what they are given. It was clean; I didn't have any problems with the cleanliness of the place. For example, the day I was there, the air conditioning in the independent living facility was out completely, so it wasn't working at all that day. And they had window units in every apartment to try to keep the residents healthy while they were trying to do the repairs on the central air conditioning system.
They have a model unit that they give you a tour of. It's the one unit that theoretically at least is in the best condition. However, somebody had turned on the water in the tub on a previous visit. I don't know what was in the water, but the whole tub halfway up was black. I don't know what it was black with, but it was pretty gross. I'm like, 'Okay if this is going to be your model apartment, you might want to clean it.' And it also had holes in the wall. I was like, 'If this is your best apartment, I'm a little nervous about what a typical apartment is going to look like.'

The Pacifica Senior Living Skylyn was very impressive. Everybody was very pleasant and answered all my questions. They showed me the assisted living and independent living parts. My brother just needs medication management and they're trying to figure out if they could get somebody in for that. It's between the budget and them trying to work it both ways where they could get somebody in and we put him in an independent living, which would be more affordable for us. They were trying to work it out where maybe somebody could come in and just help him give his medicine.
In assisted living, they have medical management but it just costs more. We're trying to figure out the military part because he wasn't in an actual war. If you're in an actual verified war, then you can get the aid and assistance from the V.A. but he wasn't in a literal war, so he doesn't qualify for that.
I'm trying to figure out the income so, between the money and him living there, they've offered certain types of packages. They've been nice with working with me and they've been very consistent with follow-ups.

We are fairly new residents. We sold our beautiful home. Made this decision before in became an emergency. We were very upset doing this.
Good move. We love it here.
No regrets. We have a 2 bed 2 bath and a great screen porch.
We like the staff and they like us. Our neighbors have made us feel very welcome.

I am so happy that I found this place for my mama. She was lonely and had been living on her own for so long she didn't do much except sit around the house. Since she has moved into Pacifica in the independent apartments she is actually socializing and making friends. She loves going on the outings with Hope, the activities lady. She also participates in their gardening club and uses their library a good bit. Everyplace has its pros and cons but I would definitely recommend this place to others. My mama didn't want to move at first but has really enjoyed her time there the past couple weeks. She told me she was so glad I talked her into making the move. Autumn and the staff made her transition easy as well.

Autumn is WONDERFUL and makes everyone feel so welcome and understood. If we choose Pacifica Skylynn for my father, Autumn would be the biggest reason behind it. My Father enjoyed her vibe, even though he was/is a hard onion to peel ;).
The facility appeared to have great activities going on and some loving employees, which are two of the greatest qualities in a great “home” environment.
I’m not sure how the food is but that is definitely up there for importance.
I look forward to seeing what the future holds for my Dad. I’m grateful for wonderful people who truly love our seniors.

I liked the staff at Pacifica Senior Living Skylyn. I was shown several different areas. They answered all of my questions and listened to me. The room that we saw was a 2-bedroom with a living area. It was very nice. It was roomy, and I felt like my parents could be very comfortable there. The ground floor was very pretty, and the place is close to things like shopping.

I was able to visit Pacifica Senior Living Skylyn. The facilities were OK. The apartments were very nice. The food there was was not rated to be very good. They didn't get a lot of food and they weren't happy with the food, but when I ate there, the meal was very good. They've got a nice library and a chapel. They say they have a hair salon, but it's not always open.

Pacifica Senior Living Skylyn is where I have chosen to live, but I haven't moved in yet. I'm moving by the end of the month. In fact, I've already paid for part of this month, and so I can start moving in anytime -- I've signed the lease and everything. It was in my price range. It's nice. The people are very pleasant and very helpful. I'm going to the senior independent living. The staff was superb. You get lunch and dinner, and they're working on a continental breakfast. They clean your apartment once a week, and you can come and go as you please. The facility looks nice. It's not bright or colorful like the new ones are, but it is very nice inside. It's just one of the older ones, and I didn't find anything wrong with it. They have a lot of seating areas, a library, a little store where you can go in and buy snacks if you want, a chapel, and activities. The grounds are pretty nice.
I like the area where Pacifica is located. It is close to a lot of things; I wouldn't have to drive. It is just not updated to the newest fashion or decorating style, but it looks fine to me.

This is the first and only community I visited I was so impressed that my search was over. The grounds are beautiful and provide a place to sit and meditate.
The apartments are well designed. The neighbors are very friendly.

I wish I could give them zero stars. We put our parents there and when we first toured the place we were told about all they would do for the residents. Even the website say they have nurses 24/7, they help with ADL and they assist the residents for whatever they need. Here is the truth from our experience. Maintenance does not fix the problems they have. They have been without air-conditioning all day and this has happened several times in the past week and this is only one example. They said they spry for bugs and said they did prior to moving in but they have roaches in the apartment. They say they assist the residents but when my mother fell and all she needed was help up they said for her to call 911. When we called up there and told them to help her when they got off the phone someone, the administrator, went to her apartment and told her " we don't do this, tell your son to call 911". The dining room quite often runs out of food and tells them they can only get a sandwich. Most places know how many residents they have and can plan meals according. Don't believe the web site, don't believe them. You will be paying the upper end of 2000 a month to live in a small apartment, you may or may not get the meals they say they provide, you won't get anything fixed at least not in a timely manner, you will have roaches, you will have to carry your laundry down a hall way and share one old washer and one old dryer per floor. And whatever you do don't need any assistance what so ever because you will not get it.

Pacifica Senior Living Skylyn was a nice facility, but way too large for my mother. The staff member was very professional and had good knowledge of the facility during the tour, including how it operated. They have a library, a hair salon, and all of those types of amenities. The apartment was clean and nice. The lady showed me two different ones, one if you live by yourself, and one where two people live together. Both were very nice.

I first moved into Skylyn Independent Living on 17 July 2018 with help from Susan (M.D. daughter) and Ralph (son-in-law), Hilsmen, a 31-year resident of Spartanburg (Converse Heights). They did a super job of screening to finally recommend Skylyn to me! I am happy here! Good friends, friendly residents, conscientious, capable staff, above average food. Sue does an outstanding executive direction!

My mom was in independent living at Pacifica Senior Living Skylyn. The reason we took her out was because they're supposed to have someone there 24 hours a day who could assist them. My mom got locked out of her apartment for six hours. Another lady was locked out all night because nobody came to open the apartment to let her back in. Theyre supposed to get lunch and supper, a noon meal, and an evening meal, and several times my mom went up there to get her meal but they ran out of food and they offered her a peanut butter and jelly sandwich instead. I was there twice when they had done that. I didn't pay $1,900.95 a month for my mom to eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. The staff was in front of her and they gave them the plates and gave them the food, and they told Mom they didn't have enough for her and she'd have to have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. To me, the residents should be fed before the staff is fed. The staff is not paying $2,000 a month to be fed. The facility is clean and nice, but there were changing things when Mom was there. They used to get maid service once a week, but they were talking about doing away with that. They'd have to clean their own rooms or they'd have to pay to have someone come in and clean their rooms. It's $10 an hour for a minimum of three hours to assist them if they need help with cleaning their apartment. If they take them on drives, it's a $15 an hour fee and $0.10 a mile for them to drive them anywhere. They used to have buses that would take them to Walmart and out to eat, but they stopped that, so a lot of the amenities that they had are no longer available. They no longer check the independent residents. They used to hang a ring on their door and if their door ring didn't move by 10:00, a staff member would go down, open the door and check on the independent person, but they no longer do that. The staff was nice though. They have the same meal repeated every week and there was no variety. The facility was beautiful and absolutely gorgeous.

It is a non-smoking facility. So far, the staff has been OK. The rooms look like studio apartments. It looks more like a hotel. They have karaoke, which I think is fun. They also do arts and crafts. It is a very nice place. I like the fact that they have assisted living as well as independent living. My mom will be on the independent side. We are moving her there this weekend.
