A very comfortable Senior Community

We really were happy with Cornerstone, [name removed] was great to work with and spent a lot of time with us when we were looking. They were able to accommodate my Father in Law at one days notice after an Emergency Room visit and were super helpful. All of the staff are extremely nice and caring. We struggled a tiny bit when he moved rooms and they couldn't seem to get the carpet installed correctly and one of the pull cords had a shorter cord than it should have been. I think any family still needs to ensure they advocate for their loved one especially with Medicines, my father in Law was super regimented when taking his own meds. So having them transferred to having Cornerstone administer was a bit of a transition.. but it will depend on each individual's needs. Their activities and services offered are great and they work really hard to offer a lot of fun activities.

I’m glad that I found Villa Toscana

Someone whom I met through Avenidas showed me numerous memory care facilities from Redwood City to MV. I had almost decided on one for my loved one before we toured VT, the last place..The decision was made! Villa Toscana is clean,new, corridors are well lighted, inviting for walks, the dining area is bright with a lovely view of the hills. The open air patio is a super place to enjoy the sun- or shade under a big umbrella. The staff is competent, friendly and caring. One might wish for a few more activities but that will probably happen as more residents move in. Villa Toscana is an excellent “home” for my husband.

Great service

I stayed here for 4 weeks. The staff were really excellent. The nurse who checked my entire body for bed sores. Very thorough. The food is not that great but you can use DoorDash to get food delivered. Also the rooms are a good size. I didn’t feel cramped. They have a room where you can play games such as dominoes etc. The physical therapy guys are very good too. The only thing is they checked my vitals many times throughout the day and nite. I do highly recommend.

Review for Pacifica Senior Living Union City

I would recommend the facility. Mainly based on cost, small size of the memory care unit (=> good level of attention to patients), nice environment, responsive staff. The director of the memory care unit was particularly responsive and helpful. For the cost, we felt that we received very good care.

4 for most of the staff, 2 or 3 for the deterioration in the quality of food...

Very, very nice place, very, very nice apartments, very, very nice staff for the most part... Shockingly disappointing is the deterioration in the quality of food the residents are served...it is sad to hear residents say they want to move elsewhere because they are not getting the quality meals a [amount removed] monthly charge should warrant... It hasn't always been like this but the fall-off in quality has been dramatic over the past year...

My loved one is a resident at Atria Park. The front desk staff and management have all been very kind and helpful. The laundry, housekeeping and chef have also been very good. They have been very receptive to our questions. The move in process went smoothly. Overall, I would recommend Atria Park of San Mateo to others.

The friendliness of staff and timeliness of responding is excellent. They treat the family of residents like family. I'm judging the food on my likes and I like mexicano food as does my mom, when she's doing well.

Peace of mind

The staff at Pacifica care truly about the facility and its residents. My loved one is in the memory care unit, and he has been thriving and enjoying his time there. [name removed] has been so helpful, kind and transparent during this whole process and supported our family to ensure the needs were met accordingly. There have been times during visiting that the areas don't appear as clean, but my loved one has been cleaned and well groomed. Staff care deeply and don't hesitate to jump in out of their traditional roles to help and offer support. Pacifica allows for our family to feel safe and secure.

They care

[name removed] is the reason why we went with Pacifica. She was transparent, kind and did her best to make things work for us as she understood our situation for my dad's care. She was flexible and made things easy from the start. She supported us through the move in process and ensured the rooms were to standard. When a curtain was dirty within 24 hours it was replaced. There have been some challenges with communication after my dad moved in, but you can tell the community cares about its residents and goes above and beyond.

My Experience

If I had the mine and could find a good place, I would move out. To make the community better they could hire a good cook. Hire more helpers (shortage appears to be a national problem). Willing to spend some corporate money for activities. Places like this should not be owned by a corporation (its top goal is profit!).

Under New Management

That the place is under new management and has a big upside potential for resuming services and activities that once made it a great place to live. The Community Fee isn't huge, which makes the barrier to entry relatively low and the loss, if one decides to move in a year, minor.
