Review of Pacifica Senior Living Escondido
reviewed on: 09/15/2020 by Cathy HuettI’m writing to you to thank you and your staff for the care and friendship you gave to my mother while she lived at Pacifica. This week will mark one month since Mom passed. She passed on [date removed]. I want to say how touching it was that so many of the caregivers, cleaners, servers and others came by the room to check on Mom in her final days and to say a final goodbye after she passed. So many told me and my sister that they enjoyed talking to Mom and hearing her stories! This gave me great comfort because I knew that she had friends amongst the staff as well as the other residents. For the three months that we could not see her very much because of Covid-19, I wondered how her life really was without seeing her family. When so many told me that they liked Mom and would enjoy visiting with her I was reassured that she had had company and plenty of friendly chats while we couldn’t be with her. What a blessing it still is to have that knowledge. I hope each person who works at Pacifica understands how important their job is. People like me entrust our parents to strangers and hope we are making the right decision for our mothers and fathers. The caregivers, cooks, servers, cleaners, laundry people, activity people, front desk people, maintenance people, medtechs, nurses, gardeners make the living experience positive or not positive. They are the daily, hands-on people able to give reassurance and respect or withhold it; give smiles and chuckles or impatience and curt answers; look into the eyes of a resident and see the person inside or not see them as a person at all; share something about themselves or stay distant; correct something that needs correcting or blow it off; empathize with or become numb to the needs and cares of the elderly; realize the importance of their interactions with residents or only do the basic requirements of the job. The truth is that the staff has the ultimate power to make the very final years, months and days of elderly residents good, ok or not good. I hope your people understand how important they are to the residents and to the family members like me. I hope they take their jobs seriously and I hope they enjoy what they do. And if they don’t, I hope they will find another job. What your staff does every day, in the smallest ways is hugely important to residents and families. I hope they know that we appreciate what they do more than we are able to tell them because we don’t see what they do every day. My sister and I were lucky enough to meet many of the staff as our mother was failing because they came to see her and talk to us. They were then and still are a blessing. Please be sure that they know that. I know that an inspired staff cannot be had without an equally inspired leader. [name removed] you are that and more. You are hardworking, responsive, empathetic, rational and kind. My mother thought you were great, and she loved talking to you. You helped me give my mom a nice 91st birthday party in the middle of the pandemic including getting someone to fix her hair! That was in May. We had no idea then that she would pass in August. I’m so glad we were able to do that for Mom. Thank you for passing on what she told you after her patio party – that she had a good family and a good life and would be ok going at any time. She never said those things to me or to my sister. How nice that she had you to confide in. It gives us peace now to know that she felt that way. It is hard to fully absorb the loss of my mom. That is a process I’ll have to work through over time. She was a light and a vibrant personality that I miss. But knowing that her time at Pacifica was good and remembering the kindnesses of you and so many others on your staff are pleasant memories I’ll carry with me.

reviewed on: 04/22/2021 by anonymousOur family had a virtual tour with the facility, and even though it is not the same as an in person experience it was still good. The communication virtually was straight forward with no gray areas or confusion.
