Independent Living
We chose Pacifica Senior Living Forest Trace because I thought they had more to offer and it looked a lot cleaner. I just thought it would be a better fit for my mom compared to others we saw and it has turned out to be so. Mom has a studio and it works well for what she needs.
We're very pleased with how things have turned out at Banyan Place! The facility itself is nice looking, clean, and very well kept. The staff is friendly and professional, and the owner was easy to work with a big help throughout the whole process! It's been a bit of an adjustment for our loved one, but they're working hard to help her get comfortable and settled in!
I live out of state, and it’s nice to know my dad is cared for and in a safe place. He really likes not having to cook and clean anymore and he enjoys the daily happy hours! The facility is beautiful and welcoming and the staff is very friendly.
