I’ve met some nice people. The food could be better I will say. Other than that I’m alright. All the help is good. I love the staff including [name removed], [name removed]and [name removed]. The driver is very accommodating. I wish there was more activities other than that I really have no complaints. The activities director does the best he can with his budget. I also love my room.
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!
