I would recommend Pacifica to others, and I have. They work hard to make sure your loved one is taken care of. My brother doesn't have long to live, and they do everything they can to keep him comfortable.
We chose this community because out of the ones that we looked into for my friend, this one was the best. The room sizes are good and spacious. I have eaten here and the food is very good, they have a lot of variety. I would recommend Elan Buena Vista to a friend or family member.
My dad has only been at SR for a month now. Each visit we have made has been met with interest, care, and helpfulness from each individual we have dealt with. This is from the housekeeping personnel to the Executive Director. Laverne at the front desk is always helpful with a smile even though she wears many hats and has lots of questions to answer on the phone calls also. We had been told by two sources that this was a good place for dad. It is. We did expect an adjustment period but seems that in two weeks our dad is participating in activities and is happy when we visit. I see lots of smiles there with personnel and tenants.
