My ex-mother-in-law has moved into Pacifica Senior Living Forest Trace. It's a large facility. The single apartment is very large. It's got a full kitchen. It's got everything you need for the assistant side, and then they have the shared side. She picked this single apartment. Everybody that I met was very nice. They offer a full restaurant, three meals, a library, a game room, a beauty shop, medical onsite, a cocktail bar, and transportation.

My uncle is staying in Pacifica Senior Living Forest Trace, and it's great. The staff is very courteous, very friendly, and very helpful. They have two restaurants, the first time he moved in, they sent us sandwiches and juice, it was excellent. They have a beauty salon and barber, they have happy hours, a bar, they have a heated swimming pool, a beautiful theater, a billiard table, and an exercise room. They have hangout places, and a library, they also have two places you can go for dinner, breakfast, and lunch. One is a formal place where you can go dressed up, and the other one is more casual. They have pretty much everything. There's a lot to do, and there's a nice clubhouse if you want a private gathering or a family gathering. They cater pretty much to everything you can think of. They have a nice walking trail, there's a big lake to look at, and they have outside seating. The activities are pretty good. It could be a little cheaper, but it's good for what they charge.

We have chosen Pacifica Senior Living Forest Trace for Dad because they have the full continuum of care available. We know that with the Alzheimer's diagnosis, that he's gonna eventually most likely need memory care. It's important to us that whatever we chose had the memory care facility. The facility was nice. They had excellent medical care available onsite. They include a number of specialists and doctors that come weekly. They have nursing staff onsite 24 hours a day. The price point is very reasonable.
They have daily programs and a number of live events, including music and games and social events. They have daily happy hour, a walking club, and a beautiful clubhouse that includes a sauna. They have two pools, a workout room, and a theater. We looked at the menu. They have a pretty good selection. It seems basically like the standard offerings for most of the places that we visited. They have a rotating menu of options and then on top of that, they have a menu of items that's available for all meals. The staff was friendly and helpful. They showed us everything. We were able to interact with some of the residents and get a pretty good sense of the community.

Pacifica Senior Living Forest Trace was good. They provide three meals a day and they had a lot of activities for seniors, like shopping, exercise, and a few various things. The lady who gave the tour was very professional, very knowledgeable, and very pleasant. She explained to me exactly what would have been provided and what would have been needed. She was very good at guiding me through the process.
The room that I visited was a model room and it was spacious. It had an outside patio or balcony. You would have to bring your own furniture apparently as they don't provide the furniture. The dining area looked clean. It had a lot of tables. They also had a beauty salon, a park area where they can walk, and a pool.

First: The facility is beautiful and I do not think can be matched. Maintenance is very responsive and competent.
However, There is a culture problem with some of staff. Dining - several are surly and one was abusive to me and others causing permanent and debilitating Injury to my shoulder and back. When reported to management I was ignored and not provided a means to report the incident
Sanitation and infection control. Had sewer fly infestation for two years which was not corrected though effort was made
Many staff including the director were nonchalant in proper use of masks and gloves. In addition they often congregated without masks in An unused dining room. Management was non responsive when Notified of problems
Some Assisted living staff did not Seem to have adequate training. Manager was often brusche to the point of yelling at residents
Food is overly salty, boring and repetitive
Activities are uninspired. FT offed little during pandemic while other facilities offered virtual classes In art music etc
I lived other places before FT and have no negatives for them other than being to far from family
Recently provided my remedy by moving to my own apartment with private duty help

I've been living here for 8 years now. I love it here. The food is great. We love Indi. She is very accommodating. I believe she has been here for over 20 years. There are many employees that have been working here for over 10 years. The management team here are very helpful, too.

Special thanks and kudos going out to Indi, Diana and Claudia. They're going above and beyond to help me and my mom with her move-in experience last week, and for their continuing kindness, compassion and support. I know it's not easy to help someone adjust to new surroundings, especially during this time with restrictions having been able to visit my mom, and I wish things were different, but at least I know that she is in very good hands and that she is safe and well. I'm sure that we are all looking forward to better times, when things can get back to the way they were designed to be. In the meantime, I have confidence the staff at Forest Trace are giving service with heart and doing their level best to care for the physical and emotional well-being of their residents.

The apartment is very nice and spacious. The staff always knows my dad by name and they are courteous and professional. My dad enjoys dining with his neighbors, enjoying the beautiful garden and lakefront. He use to go to the Shabbat services on Friday night, sing in the chorus and go to the lectures provided by Nova University. The parties and shows and socials are all fun but he does not attend now. We have had family parties and events on site including two Kettubah signings and a shiva gathering that was hosted in a beautiful party room and catered by the kitchen.

The services that we received were excellent. Everything from the minute we walked in was spot on. Whatever they said they were going to do for us gets done immediately. The whole process of moving Mom in was perfect. Indy made the move as flawless as can be.

We have a lot of activities here in Pacifica. Just about every day there's something going on. So far so good. I have a 1-bedroom apartment, with a little kitchen, a refrigerator, lot of cabinets, a nice living room and a beautiful bathroom. We also have a washer and dryer and a cabinet where you can keep food. I have been here for almost a year. You get your meals, you don't pay any bills, so I think the value is very good.

Indi, the Forest Trace Move-In Coordinator, is an important asset to Pacifica's operation. While friendly and welcoming, Indi was extremely efficient and detail-oriented in everything she did while ensuring my mother's smooth transition to her new Assisted Living apartment. My entire family is grateful for Indi's kindness and effectiveness. Pacifica Forest Trace is well represented by this consummate professional who obviously knows the importance of her job.

I moved into Pacifica, and it's excellent. It's a beautiful place. They offer just about everything, but I don't participate in a lot. I have a one-bedroom, one-bath apartment that's quite large. It's well worth the money.

Pacifica Senior Living Forest Trace is wonderful. The dining room is gorgeous. The food is excellent. The facilities are lovely. The apartment is beautiful. I have nothing bad to say about it. It is more expensive than the others, but I feel it is worth it. The activities are great. They have a lot of entertainment; every night is something else. They're building a new theater, and the pool is beautiful. They have exercise classes, lectures, and local trips. There's so much there. It is like being on a cruise without the water.

My mother has moved into Pacifica Senior Living Forest Trace. It is an excellent, brand-new place. She is a different person living there. They have music, entertainment, and movies. They had Mardi Gras with costumes and everthing, so it is very nice.

Pacifica Senior Living Forest Trace was a nice facility with a whole list of activities, like bingo, cards, movies, excursions, entertainment, and putting green. They had a million things for them to do. They served breakfast and dinner. The staff was very knowledgeable, personable, and answered all our questions. They had very nice people there. It was clean and pretty well kept. They had some renovations done for improvements.

I can't say enough about the employees at Pacifica. They are fantastic! My sister and I moved my 87 year old , very active, mother in last week. Indi was fabulous helping us every step of the way from giving free dinners to helping us find charities to haul away all the stuff mom brought but didn't need. She even set my mom up in bridge games and found her gals to eat dinner with. Indi sent up Ian to hang all mom's painting and set up her TV's. He was wonderful and spent a lot of time making sure everything was just right. Malcolm at the front desk always had a smile for us and was very helpful whether it was finding a Chinese restaurant that delivers or a ride to the airport. My mom loves happy hour where the bartender remembers the drinks you order. The facility is well maintained, the staff wonderful, the food very good and lots of activities to keep you busy. They also keep a careful watch on the residence and are very quick to respond if there is a medical problem. They even provided transportation for my mom to have a medical procedure when none of her friends could drive her. We are so happy that my Mom moved in to The Pacifica. She's safe, well cared for and has tons of things to keep her busy. I highly recommend this facility.

Forest Trace was very well-maintained. It seemed like there were a lot of activities; it would be very pleasant. It's probably beyond my mother's price range, but it was very nice. They have current events where they discuss the news, and they have a book group. They also have card games and board games, and they have transportation. There are some doctors there, but I think the residents have to change some of their doctors to local doctors if they live far away. The staff was very attentive and interested in my mother's condition and whether or not her needs would be met there. So they obviously were not just accepting everyone. They want specifics about what her needs and abilities were.

I visited Forest Trace. I took my brother there and I would love to be there myself if need be. It was excellent. Everything that they have to offer was excellent. They have everything and anything that I could ever wish for if I needed to go there. It would feel like I was living in a high-class condo. The people that I met were A-plus. They showed me a two-bedroom apartment that anybody would love to be living in.

I stayed at Pacifica Senior Living Forest Trace for three days and two nights. It was beautiful, and everything about it was wonderful. The biggest rooms were there. They had two bedrooms and the size that we wanted, which was spacious. The community offered everything that was good. They go to malls and the theater, and they have a lovely theater there and a beautiful gym. They had activities everywhere everyday. They had very good food and very good service too. I really love the staff. They were very happy and very helpful all the time. It was a very pleasant experience. We did the exercises with them, and they had musical entertainment on stage.

My father is in Forest Trace. It has a section for independent living and a section for assisted living. The independent living has a lot of activities. They have a library and a card room. They have a beautiful dining room. They have movies and live entertainment in the evening. They have a large pool. They have a tennis court, and they have playing greens. However, when somebody is in the assisted living, those things become, I think, less important. My father has moved from the independent living to the assisted living, and those facilities are still available, but he is not capable of using those facilities, so it is not that important to him.
They have different choices of rooms. They have one-bedroom facilities, and they all have private baths. They have a small terrace, a bedroom, and a kitchen. Then they have two bedrooms. Each resident has their own bedroom and bathroom, but they share a common kitchen and living room. I think the food is very good. In the independent living, they have 2 meals a day, and in the assisted living, they have 3 meals a day. I don't know what the breakfast menu is like, but the dinner menu has a variety of choices, and they are all quite good. I think the staff is very qualified, attentive, and quite good. One of the important thing is that Forest Lake -- for the same facilities and the same care compare to the other one I visited -- is probably 20% to 25% less expensive. I feel like it is a much more affordable and reasonable community.
