Calson Management

Mom was admitted to Atria Hillsdale on [date removed] weighing 90 pounds. After stabilizing to a new environment, she is happy, gained 20 lbs, recognizes Atria as her home, has made a second family, has a huge socialization network, and receives supreme care. The caregivers care for Mom and adapt their care to her needs. They listen to Mom, her family, and always provide the best care based on Mom's needs. We're lucky to find Atria Hillsdale for Mom's home.

Thought that it was nice, had her family come with her. Thought the food was nice, along with the music. Everyone is nice and supportive and enjoys living here.

Enjoyed the brunch, was with her family. Thought the music was nice and has an amazing time living here, thinks everyone is nice and friendly.

Breakfast was good.

Felt very comfortable with [Removed], she is friendly, personable and very knowledgeable.

The staff is all so friendly and helpful. Always willing to help my mom [Removed]. Everything is always so clean. My mom is always clean. The food is really good. The staff in kitchen are so helpful.

Staff is very caring. Community is clean and well kept! Food is good, cookies are great!

Things seem to be going great at this point. They have been a pretty good facility. Every facility has things that they can work on, but up to this point I would say that they have been pretty darn good.

There are lots of activities for the residents here. The facility is very bright, cheerful and full of light. I love the atmosphere here. The staff is great and the residents seem very happy and active. They interact with each other well.

Better than average.

All the people there at Orchard Park are super wonderful. Dad is very happy there. The one and only complaint that I have is in regards to the maintenance. For just one example, dad had an issue with his toilet and it took a solid two weeks or so for the issue to be resolved. Other than that everything is great. The people there are all really wonderful, very caring, and very helpful.

We just took our mom for her second respite stay. The first stay was so positive we were glad we could bring her back when we took our second trip. Our mom has dementia and was a little apprehensive when we first got there. Then the staff started coming up to her and calling her by her name and saying how happy they were to see her again. They immediately integrated her with the group. She perked up and started smiling and was ok with us leaving her. If a time comes in the future when we can no longer care for her at home we would definitely want her to be at Pacifica, Union City.

My sister and I toured 4 senior communities in Bakersfield looking for a suitable residence for our mom who could no longer live alone, didn't want to live with either of her daughters and was resistant to moving. We immediately liked Pacifica Senior Living. The first thing we noticed was the brightness of the facility. We also noticed the residents sitting in common areas visiting with each other. The Community Director, Ailey, was very friendly and reassuring about the move. The Activity Director, Carol, was energetic and obviously enjoyed her job. The rooms were sized about the same as the other communities, but seemed to be brighter. The layout of the facility made it easy to navigate and less confusing. We also liked that they didn't immediately assume that Mom needed memory care if though we informed Ailey that Mom had diagnosed age-related dementia. She told us they rarely moved someone directly to memory care. They prefer to assess a person over time to see how they can best take care of them. This was a contrast to the other communities. Moving day was stressful, but Ailey and the staff were, beyond expectation, reassuring and helpful. Mom really liked it there which was a huge relief to my sister and me. The only negative comment she ever made was about the food. She thought it too bland, but she wasn't losing weight so we knew she was eating healthy. We were very happy with the attention and care she received and would recommend Pacifica Senior Living Bakersfield for assisted living.

Looked at 5 places and I'm pleased that the right place was Pacifica for my mom. No regrets

Everyone is very nice & helpful & accommodating. Our first experience & couldn't be happier.

We liked Pacifica best out of all in that area. It was really nice, recently remodeled and seemed really nice. The grounds were very nice, it was a small area since it's more or less in the city. If we would have moved Mom to Bakersfield this is where we would have gone.

My mother's been there for about three months and the place is lovely and the people are lovely, unfortunately she doesn't' feel well so she participates zero. The food is very iffy. She's used to a diet full of fresh vegetables, whole grains, and it's just really not happening there. That's difficult for her but as far as attentiveness and them being there in case of an emergency and helpful and their responsiveness, they're great. The place is clean and the people are very kind and cheerful. Everyday in the elevator I see the list of activities. There's bingo, yoga, music, bridge, movies, etc. They have a lovely patio. The facility is beautiful and you have all sorts of people there. You don't get a feeling of an "old folks home." It's more like a 4 star or 5 star hotel. Her room has nice, high ceilings - it didn't feel small. As soon as I saw that room I knew that was it for her.

I don't have any experience with other places but I think it's a really good value. The care has been good. I think that there were some hiccoughs, understandably. When my mom first got there, there was some confusion but that all taken care of quickly. There's lots of activities and they are just right for my mom. I am very pleased with their level of activities and just with how my mom has really done well there so I would recommended that place to anyone. When I got a tour of their memory care unit I thought it was very beautiful. I knew that eventually she would need to go into memory care so that was a big factor in my decision.

Great vibe, great people and staff. Persistent problem with elevators.

The staff are very helpful , my wife has been there for 7 months everything has been pretty smooth, my wife's room she shares with another woman the room is large . They do exercise in the mornings and crafts In the afternoon they keep it clean.
