Pacifica Senior Living Oakland Heights was kind of a vintage building. It was more of an old structure. I think it's been there a long time. We like to have more sunlight, but their rooms were a little bit darker. It's not getting enough sun for us, but the price was quite attractive and they provide three meals a day.

Pacifica Senior Living Oakland Heights was a very unique place. It felt warm and I liked it immediately. The building was nice and I loved it. When the staff gave me the tour, she was very detailed about everything and I liked her. Every question I was supposed to ask, she already told me the information. The dining area looked nice. There were residents there, and everybody said the food was good. The room that I saw was the smallest and that was too small for me. So, I have to come back and see the rest of the rooms available. They had an art room, a library, a pool, and an outdoor area.

I visited Pacifica Senior Living Oakland Heights. Allison, who was our host, was very accommodating and very nice. She gave us a lot of information regarding the process and policies of assisted living. The place itself was very accommodating. All the staff were friendly. The location itself was great. It's gated and it had the feel of a very safe environment. They showed us three different sizes of rooms. Similar to the other places, all seven days are booked with activities including exercise activities for the residents to take advantage of if they wanted to. They have a very nice library and it's very cozy. They also have a salon that they offer to the residents.

Pacifica Senior Living Oakland Heights is an old place. What was important to me was having so many rooms for the people who stay there to congregate together. I saw groups of people sitting together and enjoying themselves, conversing, and being together. There are nature places. There were a lot of outdoor spots where people could sit and be in nature; that is extremely important to me. They have planned activities. They also have a regular happy hour where they get together, and some people play the piano. They also have a van that takes people to appointments. I like the fact that they have a locked gate to keep people in there who might wander off a little bit. It was important to me, too. The staff who gave me the tour was very good. She was new on the job, and she did seek out information that she wasn't quite sure of with another worker who had been there longer. She showed me the accommodations for both independent and assisted living. The dining area looked nice and airy. The other thing that was important to me is the natural light inside the building. It had good light. I wasn't crazy about the food, but I like the idea of fixing my own food. I would do that if I were independent. I don't eat American food all that much (I mean, the standard stuff); I like a mixture of stuff. Another thing I want to point out is the balance of ethnic groups there. There are a lot of African Americans, Asians, and Caucasians. I like a mix of people and cultures. I thought the place was very clean.

My sister-in-law moved into Pacifica Senior Living Oakland Heights. It's very nice, although she hasn't taken advantage of everything that they have. It seems to be a very nice location.  She has a studio, and it's very nice. They have different events on different days. They have happy hour on Fridays. They do little bus tours on Friday. My sister-in-law is not happy with the food. They have an exercise area, a theater room, a big dining room, a lot of areas where she can sit out in the sun, and a church on the premises. It was very expensive. The place is very pretty. The cleaning staff is always around cleaning rooms.

We toured Pacifica Senior Living Oakland Heights. I like the whole feel of the place. There are a lot of common areas. It has all the services and amenities that my mother-in-law needs. It's beautiful ground. It has some grassy areas. The staff is very friendly. The tour guide, which is the sales director, has been very personable and friendly, telling us what it is. She just tells me like it is. We needed onsite medical. They have doctors and nurses on site that can first evaluate, look, and maybe even treat if it is not a major problem, so we like that. If an emergency comes, there's someone there to come and evaluate, so that's a very good thing. They also contract with people to do rehab, so there are physical therapists and occupational therapists on site. They have a hair salon there so I don't have to bring my mother-in-law to go out and get a haircut, just make an appointment. Of course, with these things, you have to pay extra fees, but the facility accommodates all these things. The place has a library, a billiards room, and a movie theater. And it's a gated community, so not like everybody can just walk in, you have to go through a gate with a code.

The people at Pacifica Senior Living Oakland Heights were very nice and seemed capable. The facility had a lot of outdoor space. It's like a little gated neighborhood, but it's very rundown and older. There wasn't a lot of lively community happening. It was kind of quiet and not much going on. They had a nice building and nice rooms, but there's not much good energy. They had a couple of little library lounge areas, some activities, little day trips, and arts and crafts.

We did a tour of Pacifica Senior Living Oakland Heights, and we like that she has her own private room, and she can have her own furniture. They have a beautiful dining area. It was just nice. They have gardens and stuff, so she could look out the windows, it was beautiful. My sister has to be in a wheelchair; in her room, and pretty much all the rooms, you could look out at the gardens. You can go out and sit down in the courtyard yard. Plus, it's convenient for my other sister that's just right down the road from her. The people were just so nice. It was a really good visit. We met some of the people that lived there; one has been there for quite a while, and she just loves the place. Everybody seems to be happy, and they were moving around and just enjoying themselves. My sister is outgoing, so I think that would be a perfect fit for her. Everybody, there seems to be, friendly. The staff and the people that lived there were all really nice. The assisted living is where our sister is going to be. The staff was showing us the whole building. They're like little condos, those homes for the independent living across the street. I like it because it's gated. We've been in Oakland forever and never knew that place existed. It is truly a nice place. The lady, I guess she's the manager; I can't remember her name, but at some point, she was just so nice. She just treated us like she had known us forever. We got the feeling that's how she is with the people that live there because everybody knew her name. It was just amazing to us, everybody she passed, she knew their name. It was like a personal thing, like a family gathering or living or something. You felt just relaxed and comfortable. That's how we feel where we live. We went and told our sister and took the brochure and stuff. The lady, the manager, even called and talked to our sister. Like a personal friend or a personal family member or something. I can't explain it, but it was a nice visit. She was so nice and let me know she's been calling and checking in with us. We decided on a room; a single room like a little 1-bedroom. So, she's trying to make sure it's available when my sister gets out. She's been checking with us to make sure that it's going to have a release date soon. So, she's just a nice person. I can't remember the lady's name. They did offer food, but we didn't have time to stay. They have a menu they can choose from. The dining is just beautiful, it was nice. We told her we were going to come back, so we might just do that. It was clean. There were no smells, there was nothing. They were doing some construction. It was to put down new carpet and stuff. Even with that, the place was clean. The carpet and stuff that was put in were nice. It was a beautiful place. In some places you go to, you can smell; there was nothing there. It was clean, out and about, and doing their own thing.

My husband is already in Pacifica Senior Living Oakland Heights; they seem to be fine. They have a restaurant. My husband has people coming in from the outside to do physical therapy because they don't do physical therapy there. Their dining area is very nice, and it's a good looking place. They said their Wi-Fi was free, but then they told me that I had to find him his own Wi-Fi. One of the reasons I picked them was because they had their own Wifi, so I don't quite know what to say. The staff is getting better. They're charging you for extensive care, and I just want to make sure that they give it to him. The button that's around his neck didn't work at first. He'd be pushing it and nobody would come; he was wondering why. When I came in one day, we went to the front desk and found out it didn't work; they fixed it. The residents here seem pretty happy, so that's good. The environment there is very nice.

Our Executive Director, Ruth, displays a warm, enthusiastic and caring -personality. Her attitude is reflected in the work of all of the staff and, as a result, is felt by the residents. I feel, as a resident, that we are all constantly working together to make this a nicer place in which to live.

Pacifica Senior Living is amazing. The management and staff really go above and beyond. They are embracing Carolyn and making her a part of their lives. They are using her dining table for everyone to share, just outside her door. Whatever she needed, they got it for her. Carolyn’s room is small but adequate!

Selecting a good facility at a reasonable price isn't easy! It took a couple of visits to this lovely facility, and multiple conversations with the friendly, helpful Exec. Dir. before we made the final choice. In addition to the tour, I had the opportunity to eat two of their delicious meals with my loved one who requires assisted living. Everyone was helpful and friendly and I wouldn't have minded moving in myself!

My family member arrived in poor physical health and needed quite a bit of assistance. Within a few months, due to the good food and responsive caring staff and consistent care, his physical and mental state is much improved. The staff really responds to questions and requests. I appreciate their help so much. The facility is comfortable and clean and attractive and the food is really good.

I have a family member who lives at this facility, and they're very happy here. The friendly staff are always helpful, and they tell me they really enjoy the food and activties. Very beautiful building.

Ruth, Josie, Rodney, Bebe, and the entire staff are so friendly. My husband Wally and I love the beautiful unique grounds and property. We also love the diversity of all the residents.

I'm a resident of Pacifica Senior Living Oakland Heights. It is a very nice facility. The people here are very helpful and friendly. The director is a woman named Ruth, and she's terrific. At least every second day, in the dining room, she'll go table to table and will ask people how they're doing it and if there's anything she needs to correct and stuff like that. The food is very, very good. If you get to eat lunch and dinner, you get a set meal, but if you don't want it, there are lots of alternatives from salads, hotdogs, cheeseburgers, egg salad, tuna salad, and sandwiches. It's very good. You can find something you want every day. The other residents are very nice. I'm friends with several of them. I eat breakfast with one person, lunch and dinner with another, and it is very pleasant. I would recommend this strongly. The staff is excellent. I don't really get engaged in any activities they have. They don't really interest me. They have a movie every night, usually just Saturday nights, but starting soon there'll be nightly and that'll be nice. I enjoy going to the movies. I don't want to be involved in spelling bees or bean tosses or stuff like that. The activities are geared for people more handicapped. The activities are sort of silly. My friend reads her poetry, but none of that stuff interests me. I just like being here. I like the food, I like the movies, and I like the staff a lot. I like it here a lot. I'm very happy that I chose this place, and people tell me it's really the best facility in Oakland, so I'm happy I'm here.

My 88 year old father started in respite care in early June following a short stint at the hospital and is transitioning to be a full time resident. While he was able to live alone up until recently, the day-to-day hassle of meal prep, social isolation, distance from immediate family and decreasing sure footedness, it was time to make a change, which he welcomed. I cannot praise enough the tremendous help we received from the executive director. Her positivity and unwavering commitment in guiding us through a time-critical situation was simply amazing. She is tireless and was always quick to return calls or text messages to answer any questions or concerns we had. While the facility is older, it's beautifully maintained and filled with a lot of craftsman detail and charm. The staff is very friendly and attentive and they went out of their way to introduce my father to the residents. This was a very welcome benefit following more than a year in Covid isolation at his home. There is a spectrum of people at Pacifica, many needing little to no assistance while others with clear memory care needs. It's also quite ethnically diverse, which for us being from the Bay Area was a huge plus. Most importantly, my father always seems content and happy and is enjoying his new surroundings.

I'm in Pacifica Senior Living Oakland Heights assisted living, but I get absolutely no assistance. I was living in independent and when my husband passed, I moved over into the assisted. I gave up an apartment for a room, so I moved from an apartment to a room, which I'm in now just for me. I'm satisfied with my room and I'm satisfied that I get no assistance. I'm happy with the living condition. I have a large room, large enough to accommodate my bedroom set and I have a full bedroom set, two dressers, a twin bed and two end tables. I also have a drop leaf dining room table all in this one room. I also have a little sofa and a cabinet. I have a lot of furniture in here, but I still have room. That's eight pieces plus a glider chair, and it's still not overcrowded. It's very nice size, and I also have a nice view out of my big window. It overlooks a nice garden and it overlooks the driveway that leads into the garage. I like my view. I'm happy and satisfied. I don't use any assistance. I only get housekeeping. I have a housekeeper come in one day a week. That's the only part of the staff that I use. Other than that, I'm independent. I do everything for myself, but the staff is very pleasant. The food is good and well balanced. I participate in many of the activities like the brain games. We have a well-equipped gym here and I use it three days a week, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I do strength training, I ride the bicycle for three miles without stopping, and I use the stepper machine. I use these things without fail because I know if I stop using them, I will go downhill, and I'm 97 years old. At the moment, we don't have an activity person, but we do joyrides.

The staff is very attentive, helpful, and courteous. For Respite care, their cost is considerably lower than other homes.

My loved one is at Pacifica Oakland Heights. Please know how absolutely delighted I am with my Aunt Hilde’s experience at Pacifica. I’m in awe of the staff and the tender, loving and compassionate care she is shown. She’s made a remarkable adjustment to her new surroundings—given that she lived independently until she was almost 104-years-old. I credit your fine staff with making her feel welcome; they “get” her. I can always count on your front desk staff to help me with anything I need. They are friendly and supportive. When something isn’t quite right, they want to know, they listen, take responsibility, and work toward resolution. The staff went “all out” for her 105th birthday: Staff helped her into a new frock, the salon did her hair and makeup, and she received hugs and kisses from everyone. Pamela reached out to me to offer her and Pacifica’s help in making sure this birthday was special. It was and my family was very touched and moved. Given I am so far away, I sleep at night knowing that my Aunt Hilde is in competent and caring hands. Pacifica was truly the right choice for her and me. Thank you and your staff for making her days calm and peaceful.

I loved Pacifica Senior Living Oakland Heights; it had a very sweet atmosphere. It was like a little village with a little main street to itself. The two-bedroom that we looked at was just too small and it only had one bathroom, so it wouldn't do. However, we liked the location because of the nature and the trees, and it's the kind of place that I like. The staff member who gave me the tour was very wonderful and very sweet. I had an overall very positive impression of the community. I liked it very much, and compared to other places I think this one is super. I just needed more space.

Pacifica Senior Living Oakland Heights was great, but they couldn't take my mom because she has C. diff. We were also upset because at first we thought she was going to assisted living, and what happened was, when they started to do the assessment, it was when we found out that assisted living wouldn't be a good fit for her. They said a better fit would be memory care. Nevertheless, the community was very nice. We like it a lot. The staff was very nice. As a matter of fact, she called me several times afterwards. It was a beautiful building. It was very nice and spacious. They had nice rooms. The dining place was impressive because it looked more like a restaurant than a dining room. The building was old but very well kept. They had a lot of art deco, too. The director was amazing. She took her time from a busy schedule to come in and talk to me. They're very helpful.

The staff at Pacifica Senior Living Oakland Heights was very nice, very helpful, and explained everything about the prices and what services they offer. The rooms were fine and had a window, so there's some light coming in, which my mother would like. They had standard entrees every day, and if you don't want to eat what they have, you can pick from their a la carte menu. They had trips they can go out on and services to take you to the doctor. Everybody's very nice.

My mom moved into Pacifica Senior Living Oakland Heights. The staff is fabulous. The building itself is over 100 years old, but it's a fabulous facility. My mom loves the food, and it's been very good every time I've eaten there. Her room is small. They have a library stocked by donations and a really nice theater where they try to tailor the movies toward everybody. The staff is very good. It's in a location with the best weather in Oakland. There's just not enough parking. I was directed to a garage which is impossible to negotiate. The spaces are so small, you can hardly get in and out of them. They're in the process of remodeling, and their carpet is on their list to get done but hasn't been done yet and puts many people off because it's worn. It's a shame because that shouldn't stop anyone since it's a fabulous facility. It just doesn't give them a good look. It's horribly overpriced, but then everything is in the area.

I visited Pacifica Oakland Heights. I thought they were great and a wonderful location. It was quite expensive for us and not something that we thought we could afford. It was beautiful, large, clean, and spacious.

I like Pacifica Senior Living a lot. The woman who gave me a tour had me talk to the man who was in charge of the memory care area and that was very nice to connect with him one on one. The place is big but feels very homey and comfortable. I like this one the best from all the places I visited. They have schedule of activities, and I saw the residents gather together for activities.

I visited Pacifica Senior Living. I thought the people were very nice and seemed supportive. The building facility seemed comfortable and had different places to walk around, like the courtyard. The residents seemed to be engaged in activities; I know they have different classes and group activities. I talked to a couple of people who had a lot of information to share.

The people at Pacific were very helpful, encouraging, and understanding. They were willing to give us shorter term of stay because we didn’t want all of two weeks. The rooms available were pretty stark. The dining area was fine though.

Our top choice is Pacifica Senior Living. It’s affordably priced; it’s close to where I am and it has nice facilities. The staff seemed good and they had activities. There are a range of services: they have memory care, independent-living and they have very good assisted living. They all go to the same dining hall.

We have been impressed with Pacifica Senior Living. My mother-in-law is very happy, and she loves the food. They have a café, movies, exercise, and shopping trips. The rooms were spacious.

I visited Pacifica Senior Living. It was wonderful and seemed absolutely fabulous. I started to fantasize in my mind that I could afford it; then, I came down to reality and realized that my retirement would not be enough. They were very efficient and set up an appointment for me. There was a guy who called us and did a follow-up. They were great and really tried to make us feel so welcome. I wished I had a lot of money so I could go there. There were two bathrooms, one fitted-out for a disabled person. There weren't any stairs, so we would not have to walk up and down. There was a separate living quarters for independent living across the street from the facility. It was much nicer than it had to be and roomy. The buses were taking people here and there. There was a rose garden to sit in. Everybody was kind. The food and all-inclusive meals looked great.

We did find respite care for my mother at Pacifica Oakland Heights. We just did a tryout, because they're the only one that allowed us three days. My mother stayed there for three days. The staff was wonderful. They were very open and receptive to hearing what we would like to see at our next day. However, I would like to see that medication management is better watched. Nevertheless, they were very open to us coming and seeing the place, and they worked with our schedule. Like I said, they're the only one that allows a long weekend for respite as opposed to a two-week or one-month stay as a respite.

My mother has been in Pacifica Senior Living Oakland Heights going on three weeks. It's an old building, but it looks nice and is secluded right in the city. It's independent living, assisted living and skilled nursing all in one. However, we had some problems with the service, i.e., giving medicine to her on time, and the food is horrible. The grounds are great, but they'll be better because they're undergoing a major remodeling. She has very nice, two connecting rooms. There was a couple of really good people and a couple that aren't very good on-staff.
