The staff was accommodating and and process was so easy due to the outstanding service they provide. Miriam was also a big help to us and so compassionate. FYI.. I changed my rating as the follow up with our…

If you are looking for a community with heart look no further than Pacifica Senior Living. The staff works together as a team to provide excellent care to each resident and openly communicates with family members on a regular basis. The facility has recently been upgraded and the attention to detail does not go unnoticed!
