Outstanding care and service
Communication with the family about schedules, medication, etc has been great. Staff members are caring and kind. I would recommend them to others who are searching for care for their loved one.

My father was only at Pacific Gardens for a short time before he passed, but I'm very impressed what what I saw in the time he was there. The caretakers were conscientious and caring, the food was much better than his prior facility, his room was light, airy, and clean, and the MedTechs were really on top of things. The variety of activities each day was very impressive. I wish we'd found PG sooner so he could have enjoyed more time there, but I'm grateful for what he had. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Pacific Gardens to anyone looking for the next step for a friend or family member.

Happy new resident at Pacific Gardens
Everyone on the staff has been incredibly kind, patient and helpful with the onboarding process and they are kind to my grandmother as well. The room is large and well-equipped, an excellent value for the price compared to similar places in the area

I would give them a 5 out of 5. The staff is caring, supportive, kind and thorough. They make sure her needs are met and the staff goes all they can to not only care for the residents but that they are also heard and nurtured.

Because she needed 24 hour supervision, my lovely 98 year old Mother with a sweet form of dementia found a home and friends at Pacific Gardens. She is thriving there! The staff is wonderful, the accommodations are lovely and homey, and I very much appreciate the way the staff cares for both the physical needs and also the dignity of the people in their care. In addition, they set up the activity room so the family could gather and celebrate my Mom's birthday privately ... and they decorated the room so festively, which was a very nice surprise. Then yesterday for Thanksgiving, Pacific Gardens put on a feast for families that rivaled the quality at any restaurant, six of us gathered at a sunny table together and had a wonderful time. The layout for Memory Care is wonderful with private bedrooms and freedom within the Memory Care section, with hourly checks. We are so very glad that we found Pacific Gardens. It has been a huge relief to us to find a place my Mom feels at home and valued. Special thanks to Mary Jane, my Mom's companion. My Mom loves her and so do we.

Our experience
My grandma is in the memory unit and the staff in the memory unit are amazing. They are kind, caring and interactive with the people staying with them. They are very aware of the wants and needs of the patients. They are accommodating to the family of the people there and its easy to contact them to communicate. Yes, we would recommend Pacific Gardens to other families based on the experience.

VerifiedA graet fit for dad
The facility is more homey than some of the more modern facilities and my dad appreciated that environment. The front desk staff was very friendly. The nursing staff was also very caring and easy to contact and kept me well informed. My dad was able to stay there under hospice care and the Pacific Gardens staff coordinated well with the hospice staff. My dad said he felt like the staff really cared about him. We were very happy with his time there.

VerifiedVery pleased
We have been very pleased with the decision to move mom into Pacific Gardens Memory Care. Starting with the welcome card at the front door on the first day, to the greetings from everyone we see every time we’re there, it is clear the people there truly care. The hands on caregivers are extremely patient and I am confident in my mom’s safety and enrichment.

Pacific Gardens Assisted Living & Memory Care truly stands out as a welcoming and vibrant community. Their dedication to making residents feel at home is evident in everything they do. The variety of activities, like cooking demos with Chef Joseph and their annual Walk to the Neighborhood for Alzheimer's awareness, shows how much they prioritize engagement and purpose for residents. The staff clearly go above and beyond to create a nurturing environment, from organizing live performances to providing exceptional dining experiences. The sense of community and care is unmatched, and it’s wonderful to see families and staff working together to create meaningful memories. If you’re looking for a place where your loved ones will feel cared for, connected, and part of a vibrant community, Pacific Gardens is an excellent choice. Highly recommended!

From what I saw, Pacific Gardens Assisted Living & Memory Support seemed to try and keep the patients active and not just in their rooms alone. They have goals for the memory care people to get them up, move them around, stimulate them, do what they can handle, and also be on a schedule of taking people to the restroom and those kinds of things. All the staff looked very interactive. When they see someone touring, they say hello. Everybody does that, including housekeeping. They believe in their community and a lot of people that work there have been there for a very long time. It's independently owned, which I thought was kind of a plus. They had a beautiful garden patio area that you can see from a lot of the different windows, so it gives it a good atmosphere. They had a gym. They have a one-day-a-week salon. They have a movie room with movie theater chairs in there and they play a movie every single day at 1:15 and they post them. A gentleman was setting that all up and apropos to what they would want to watch, some older ones and a few newer ones.

Smaller facilities, personal interactions
It's a " smaller" facility where everyone knows each other. Everyone calls my mom by name, and engages with her in passing . Covid protocols in place and well monitored. They are very responsive to family / support personnel. I would recommend Pacific Gardens to others looking.

Pacific Gardens is an extraordinary place. You cannot find a facility so well managed, and a staff as professional, respectful, and kind anywhere else. Whether you are looking for a place for yourself or a loved one, you will find excellent care and service here. The rooms are sunny, and the food is tasty. Each month they have a variety of activities. They also offer transportation to residents to medical and dental appointments. The care staff and nursing staff come to know and care about the residents and their families -- right down to little things like favorite treats or snacks, and favorite composers. They attend to the residents in ways that only family members would. Most of the staff has been at Pacific Gardens for years, which says a great deal about the place, given the usual turn over rate at care facilities. The staff here has a vocation -- to care for the residents. And they shine.

"It Feels Like Home Rings True
One year later, I am absolutely convinced I made the correct decision. PG exudes a welcoming and friendly vibe, which I immediately noticed when I first stepped foot in the place. My mother is very happy there. Any issues were dealt with in an appropriate and caring manner ( a time when she wasn't getting her mail; her call button disappeared from a tray at the front desk; her doctor put her on a pureed diet). The executive director, a computer wiz, even came up and fixed her printer after all of us were stumped. Their motto, "it feels like home", rings true every day.

Verified"Friendly, knowledgeable staff, overall pleased with a few facility improvements needed."
The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. They have a genuine interest in the health and wellbeing of residents. I think the facility is showing its age and needs some updates I would say they just need to do more activities. I go there about 2x a month and most of the time residents in the memory care unit are just sitting watching TV.

Update on Dec 26, 2024 I cannot believe it is now one year since we sent our friend to Pacific Gardens. They say time tells. I never regretted such decision. More so we feel so lucky we found this place. This one year our friend got looked after. Any health situation got updated from nurse rotation right away. He was monitored closely. On top he has been so happy! He actively attends all activities he could, made several friends, set his daily routine and never was bored. His health got maintained well. And he still does exercises daily! I just would like to appreciate every caregiver because they are so attentive and treat him with smile and caring. Below my review april 2024, few months after we sent him to Pacific Gardens. I sent our family friend E to Pacific gardens in December 2023 after he returned from rehab. It has been 3 months now. I visit him almost daily and stay long enough to observe his health and assist him so I have seen almost all activities. As another family said in the review there are so many events that residents felt a community here. We are very happy about the facility so far. 1. Staff is working so hard to make each resident happy. The effort is sincere. They are so friendly. Everyone smiles. 2.They are so attentive and caring about resident as a person. Not just a client. 3 Whenever I gave feedback about his care my feedback was taken seriously and they heard me and tried their best to accommodate. 4. There are so many events such as weekly outing for lunch, and trip to shopping or sightseeing. Brain exercises after every morning group exercises. St. Patrick Day costume competition, special event special menu. I have seen residents holding parties. My friend had made two friends now at dining and they chat regularly. 5 what I like most is there is a gym in the facility so my friend could get exercises daily with his PT, OT and eventually personal trainer. He has improved so much physically for standing up from his wheelchair and now trying to walk with a walker. I have toured so many places before I sent him to Pacific gardens and I am happy I found our friend a home.

Definitely recommended
I would definitely recommend this place. Staff is extremely friendly and everyone seems to know my dad (staff and residents). They have daily activities and weekly lunch outings. We see my dad every week, so we have gotten to know the staff. Food is good and healthy. Holiday buffets are prepared by a chef, and families are included. Again, this is a great place for the elderly.

Because of my wife's declining condition I had researched and looked at and number of local Assisted Living facilities. When it came time for the move I believed Pacific Gardens was the right place for her. After she was there for just a short while I KNEW it was the right place. They made my wife, and myself, feel welcome and part of the family from day one. A nice, clean facility, she had a comfortable, well equipped room. The outside area in the back is beautiful and comfortable. The food is EXCELLENT with GREAT variety. Lots of activities with the friendly staff encouraging everyone to participate. Seeing staff members "dancing" with residents when singers were performing was a blast. When my wife needed to be put into hospice care she was able to stay in her room and there was a seamless interaction with the caregivers. Pacific Gardens is a GREAT collection of CARING people from top to bottom. Treating everyone with respect, treating everyone as part of the family. This is my way of saying THANK YOU to everyone there for taking such good care of my wife.

A safe and welcoming place for my mother, with staff that is kind and caring of both families and residents.
Pacifica Gardens is a tad more expensive that we would live, but available, excellent quality of care works for us. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend this community to other families.
