Our Family's experience

Cozy lovely old complex with flowering gardens. Gated community Staff are friendly and responsive but busy. Food is good. It's more rustic than the high rise places, If you prefer the hotel ambiance this might not be what you want. This is relaxed, more homey with colorful pictures and decor. The buildings are Calif stucco with red tile roofs - charming.

Looking for affordable memory care

Beautiful 100 year old building located behind iron gates in the Oakland hills. Secure memory care unit where residents are allowed to roam freely and participate in activities or not. Private rooms but shared bathroom. Very clean space. Food smelled good! Price is very competitive! Lovely tour provided of facility. Sales associate [name removed] is very compassionate and easy to talk to.

Review for Oakland Heights Senior Living

We find that the facility is a very good place and a good fit for my aunt. The staff are friendly and nice. The facility is clean. They provide meals. They provide activities physical therapist as easy access for nursing and physical therapist they have a nurses on staff five days a week. We haven't had any problems. I would recommend. It's a place that someone can feel like they're being assisted but independent living.

Look elsewhere

While they would like you to believe your loved ones will be well taken care of, this simply isn’t the case. Understaffing is a huge issue, Non-English speaking caregivers, rude staff, unresponsive management, no follow-up to concerns raised. Look elsewhere, you will not be happy with the services provided here guaranteed!

Only if your loved one is independent

- No understanding of Parkinson's care. - ED doesn't want to make waves. He will smile and say he will address your concerns and then nothing will change. - Regardless of your doctor's prescribed medication times, the med techs will distribute meds when it is convenient for them. - Staff are kind and patient for the most part. Support staff have very little training. Staffing levels are often low at critical times like bedtime and wake-up time. The only way this place makes sense is if you are fully independent and just want your meals provided.

Excellent staff

The staff is excellent, friendly, very caring and supportive. The facility is dated, but comfortable. The maintenance staff is always available to address whatever needs tending to. I think they should hire a real chef. Also, very frequently they do not serve what is stated on the menus, or they run out. The food tends to be tough and dry. And there are no accommodations for people with diabetes, nor do they provide much gluten free or vegetarian diets. It is not well organized. Activities cater to those with limited mobile or mental capabilities. A healthy Senior (like me) would be bored.

Independent living is okay, memory care is god awful and dangerous

Look elsewhere for memory care. Low-skilled, caring, under-supported staff, with leaders that avoid accountability (Front-desk staff are amazing though). You've been warned. Just try and call them after 5pm on a weekend or 6pm on a weekday and see how often you can get someone- for anything.

Friendly and Fun Staff

At this time my husband and I are not in need of assisted care - independent living. Meals/Dining - Breakfast is mostly scrambled eggs and sausage or bacon with different types of bread (not our favorite). Alternates are available, but it takes a little time to order and receive. We usually just order oatmeal, which is always readily available (we bring our own brown sugar and raisins, which are not provided). Lunches and dinners are usually very tasty. There are alternates, too, sandwiches, salads, burgers, or hotdogs. Fries are stated in the menu, but never available. Also, although it is supposed to be open seating, there are residents that get quite aggressive about their favorite seats/tables, and make it very uncomfortable for any "offenders". Activities - Although this community serves independent, assisted, and memory residents, their activities are generally geared toward people with limited mobility. Value for Cost. - I love living in our "cottage"! With 4 bedrooms I have more room than I've ever had!

For the activities - they could have more for higher functioning residents - higher functioning both mentally and physically. If we could give the value for cost a 10, we would! The Pacifica Senior Living community is peaceful, quite, kind and the staff have been great. It is a beautiful campus

Very patient and hard working staff and line employees.

Pacifica has been extremely beneficial to my mom and our family. We were lucky to find them. I was an Oakland policeman and knew about the facility. I always express my appreciation for the work and patience the staff members display day in and day out.

My review of Pacifica Oakland Heights

This facility is ok. It's a nice, clean place. General areas always seem very clean and well kept. The people that I've interacted with have all been fine. The move in process was a little rough, but the staff was very responsive and everything was taken care of as quickly as possible. Things seem to be going very well right now. My mom hasn't participated in the activities yet, so I can't rate those. I would recommend this facility to family and friends.

our families experience

Nothing to say but terrible service all around. They could improve on all the below. - Have consist staffing day and night. - Have experienced team members overnight to address some of the resident sun downing issues. - Have a knowledgeable Director who knows how to solution and not make accusations to family members. - Do not steal new clothes provided to residents by family members. Half of the wardrobe I bought for my loved one was missing along with their laundry hamper. - Faculty director be accessible to residents family when called and not avoid them. - Med techs do not call police on residents for being threatened with a plastic knife - Med techs don't call paramedics to transfer residents to hospital because they are under staffed

Slow to get back to you but a good place overall.

For the time she was there, her room did not have the in-house cable in the contract, so we payed for Comcast. After meeting with the Executive Director, he agreed to move her to another room, but my sister decided to move. Other than not returning voicemails until about the third call, I would give them a 5 in all the other categories. They did refund us as promised under the contract terms.

Our families experience

The staff members for the most part are really friendly but sometimes they have inconsistencies with their communication. It could be because they are short staffed which we understand given the circumstances these days but sometimes when we reach out to the staff for questions we either get a response right away, an hour later or even the next day.

a wonderufl place for your lvoed ones

We have had an excellent experience so far. Every time we come to visit everything is in order and where it should be and out loved one room is always clean. The staff members are wonderful, they are always extremely welcoming. They have a variety of different sized apartments that only go up a small fee of [fee removed] so it is not expensive. They also have housing on site, it is a gated community and if they residents have cars they have underground garages. They except everyone here no matter then level of care or needs. They excepted our loved one who has epilepsy and those with memory loss. Our loved one used to only eat two meals there but not we have pushed it to three meals a day because he loves everything that is served. From what we can tell they have so many different activities that are offered seven days a week all the way up until 3:00PM. This is more of a community setting, our loved one has their own room and can receive 24/7 care and it is still less expensive then other communities in the area even. Our loved one is having a ball, we have recommended this community to other families and will continue to do so.
