I am very happy to be able to leave this review. Let me start this review by saying that Pacifica Senior living Forest Trace is a Wonderful place. We felt very fortunate when we found this Place for my sister Maria. Who had moved here from New York, We knew from the moment we walked in to meet Mr Rick Drew for a tour of the place that this was going to become a home away from home for my sister. This community is in a beautiful setting with big, mature trees and is surrounded by a large lake. It has spacious and breath taking walking paths . the covered Patio makes it posible for residents and their families to enjoy the outdoors almost all the time. The inside of the community is comfortable and home like. This is and Active and Lovely community But, as important as that is . What is even more importanr is the friendly, caring team members that work here. We had the pleasure of visiting with Rick Drew, the leasing agent. Who not only was extremely knowledgeable about his community and senior living but was tremendously kind and caring who for the time my sister has lived there has gone above and beyong to address help with any issues that arise. I know when I refer a family here, they will be treated with the outmost respect and dignity like they have treated my sister Maria. I will highly recommend you stopping by for a visit. All of my Family is very Grateful to have found a community that is the full package.

I was completely unprepared for the possibility of leavings my family and moving to anther state I did not have much desire of participating or taking decisions. I was just lost and missing my grand kids immensely. But I have my sister's support and determination to find MY NEW HOME . The selection was hard from the beginning; the prices, the services, the staff, the building, the location… But, when we came to PACIFICA SENIOR LIVING FOREST TRACE, the staff was cordial and attentive, our interview with the Leasing Agent MR. RICK DREW was professional, empathetic, relaxing. He is present, always, when you need his time. He is a good listener. The building is clean, quiet, plenty of natural light, the apartments are spacious and the outside beautiful to contemplate or exercise. THIS IS MY HOME!

My entire experience was superb. From the resident at the canopy who did an excellent job in telling us how happy she is to be here, to the lady at the reception desk who smiled while she greeted us, and then your Sales Director, who is Creme de la creme, Ms Denise Higgins. She was just as I expected, perfecr. My friend who I brought to see the facility was quite happy and pleased as well. When I need the services you offer, I will be back; hopefully Denise will still be there. If not. I will still enjoy what I saw and felt. This is a home away from home at a price that my wife and I can afford. Denise Higgins, thx a mil! Arnold

Looked and sounded great initially. Looked like a luxury resort. Was so happy to move mom in thinking she should be well looked after here and not have to worry about cooking. Well…that didn't last long. Continued complaints about the food…I ended up sending groceries regularly and she ended up cooking for herself a lot. Any discount for not partaking in the meals below. No! They sure want to charge you if you have a guest tho and it's not cheap! Need something? Forget it. THE WORST. They're always "working on it". We actually used to laugh and makes bets on how many times we were going to hear that. Tried to complain to Steve who is supposedly running the place and couldn't get him to return my calls. Ran into Indy while I was there and expressed my anger at being ignored. She immediately had Steve call me and he could barely tolerate me. The outside of the facility is disgusting and moldy. Like everything else, "they're working on it." Solar panels,working on it. TERRIBLE internet, working on it. Building security, working on it. The only thing I saw happen was increased pricing. The shining star of the place is Gladys the receptionist. She is an absolute gem. I also liked her apartment. Nice layout and was move in ready. PS. Wait til you hear all the excuses they'll respond to this review with. Maybe if they spent more time giving the help requested and less time making excuses they wouldn't have these issues.

It's been six months since we moved my father in to Forest Trace. We had been caring for him in California for many years but his care needs, especially daily activities and medical coordination, became increasingly challenging. We made a family decision to move him into an assisted living facility in Florida where he could establish himself in a community and be closer to his other son, and his grandkids. We looked around several communities in the area and settled on Forest Trace. The most influential aspect was the pleasant grounds and the lake. My dad loves to walk, sit peacefully overlooking something pretty, and ponder life's big questions. We were also keenly interested in finding a place where he could surround himself with his own furnishings and artwork which he has spent a lifetime collecting. Obviously, great care, facilities, safety and security, activities, access to medical resources, and meals are essential parts of the equation as well. Forest Trace seemed to have it all. I can say that the move-in process was seamless. Rick and Indy and the staff were very helpful in facilitating the application and registration process, setting up the billing, preparation of his apartment, helping us find a move coordinator to work with our movers, hanging heavy wall art, and even helped build a platform for his mattress/box springs that reduced the height to a more safe and appropriate height than before. It took dad some time to settle into his new life, but he enjoys his walks, his surroundings and happy hour. He is slow to make new friends but has done so and is now integrating into the Forest Trace family. My brother visits regularly and dad gets to spend time with his grandkids, which he values greatly. I firmly believe he will integrate more fully and embrace the community at Forest Trace. Just as they have embraced him.

Overall, this place is run by rude, unprofessional management. The staff dining, maintenance, etc. on the other hand are nice for the most part with a few front desk people here who can use attitude adjustments. The prices keep increasing but the services continue to decrease, to include no security at the front gate, less people to attend to residents, fewer menu options in the dining room and less activities just to name a few. Upper management is worse than all, and we are moving our loved ones (there are 2) out of here ASAP. Reviews can be "bought, so don't believe all the good ones. I gave three stars because of the good people here, but overall I would not recommend you move a loved one in here.

Our family is experiencing the same issues as another recent reviewer of this facility. We moved our family member here and since doing so it seems that service and property upkeep have declined at a rapid rate. The building exterior is filthy and mold and mildew is growing by the day. The carpeting on the outside is full of mildew slime, which causes it to be slippery and there are always small pieces of garbage lying around outside. Inside there is a smell of mildew and the elevators are hot and also smell. You can see the dirt and fingerprints in an outside the elevators like they're rarely ever wiped down. The food is mediocre at best and sometimes not even edible. We have contacted all levels of management multiple times, so no need to give us the rundown of who we should reach out to as you did with the previous reviewer. Think twice before moving here or moving your loved ones.

The decision to move an elderly parent to an assisted living facility is not an easy one. There are so many things to consider and likely a lot of emotions involved. When my wife and I first connected with Rick Drew via phone we could already tell he was kind and thoughtful. We also learned he was quite patient as we had to deal with some legal issues before the move could happen, which took a couple of months. Once we visited the property, we met Rick and his staff. Rick is a one-of-a-kind-special-man for sure. His warmth and friendliness are contagious. Indi, who is the moving coordinator, is gentle and accommodating. The nursing staff seemed content to be there, they smiled and greeted everyone who passed them by. The grounds at Pacifica at Forest Trace are truly magical. They make you feel like you are in a resort. The trees are mature, there are walking paths, a pool, a theater and many more amenities. During our visit we had the opportunity to speak with many residents who shared that they are happy to live there. It is possible that their 2 hour daily Happy Hour has something to do with their happiness level. 😉 The day we moved my father in, we felt he was welcomed with open arms. He received several visitors (staff) who came by to introduce themselves and who seemed committed to assisting him get settled into a new routine quickly yet smoothly... 88 year olds don't tend to love change. Leaving that day, we experienced a sense of calm, that my dad was in good and capable hands.

Diana is amazing! She took the time to get to know me and my mom. We had several setbacks with my mom's health and she was there supporting us every step of the way. Pacifica is always clean, smells nice and the the team knows every resident by name!

This is a very nice facility for elderly people who need extra care that cannot be provided by family members. For a monthly fee they provide two meals per day. They clean the apartment every week and provide entertainment and activities to keep your family member busy and entertained. There’s always someone at the desk to answer your phone call if you can’t get a hold of your family member. The facility is very clean and situated on beautiful grounds with lots of shady trees. Beautiful pool for swimming and keeping active. Lots of activities. If the resident doesn’t drive they have weekly trips to the stores. Overall very nice place for an elderly person to live out the rest of their years without the care of meal preparation or house keepin

I am so grateful my family found Forest Trace - we could not be happier that our parents are living in this community. There is a vibrant group of residents that have welcomed my parents with open arms and have helped them feel comfortable and connected. I can’t say enough good things about Rick in answering all our questions; addressing all our concerns and helping make this transition go smoothly from their apartment, being on their own, to moving into independent living at Forest Trace. The staff are wonderful. Really, everyone we have interacted with at FT from the Executive Director down, really does care about and take pride in creating an excellent environment for the residents. And it is obvious; it’s working! If you are considering an option for independent living, you owe it to yourself to contact Rick and request a tour.

My 95 year old parents moved in to assisted living and have been very happy with everything offered. Diana and Indi made the whole process of moving in very easy and have assisted with all the questions I have had. The grounds are beautiful, private, and quiet. All the facilities are clean, and the staff has been very attentive. There are various activities all day long and dining is like being in a restaurant with several selections. The apartments are spacious and well kept. Overall, Pacifica Forest Trace has been a great choice.

Senior living communities, to be successful must be able to deliver on the promises made by their sales teams. An empty promise is the quickest way to guarantee and empty community. My first impression of Forest Trace several months ago was very good. The grounds were attractive, warm, and tranquil. The building, made of concrete and mortar, too was attractive, but that's not what makes it a good place to live. The construction is important, but good customer service, hospitable staff, and exceptional care is what makes the difference. I have served seniors for more than a decade and I have become quite good at recognizing genuine quality service and care. It is obvious to me after observing the operation for three months that Forest Trace does both very well. My hat's off to the leadership.

When my sister and I arrived at Pacifica Senior Living Forest Trace looking for an ALF-Memory Care for our mother, we were feeling overwhelmed & sad. Having to place a loved one in the care of others is always a very hard decision and process. Rick Drew is the sales and community director who met with us and I have to say that he is so kind and was so understanding of our situation. I can't say enough good things about him. He empathized with what we were going through and took the time to listen to us and to what we needed. Pacifica Forest Trace is a beautiful place. The grounds are extensive and beautiful, and the facilities are extremely nice. The rooms/apartments in the memory care area are also very spacious and comfortable. However, what really sold us in making the decision to place our mother there was the care we received from Rick. He made the process so much easier and was always available to answer the tons of questions we had. Our mother has only been there almost a month, but so far we feel that we made the right decision in placing her there. We feel she is well cared for and in a comfortable place where she can feel at home. Even now, whenever we have any questions, we still contact Rick even though he might not be the person in the position to answer, and he happily forwards our request to the correct person and makes sure we get our answers. The staff helping with our mother also seem caring and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend Pacifica Forest Trace if you are looking for an Assisted Living Facility for a loved one.

After 10 years of living at Pacifica Forest Trace, my Mom had just passed away in February. All throughout these years, her family paid her rent with all the yearly increases. During the last 3 to 4 years her apartment had a roach infestation that was hardly addressed. The weekly cleaning service was subpar, overlooking dust and dirt in vents and closets. Now that my Mom passed away, the facility has the audacity to charge her estate for another month of rent.

Rick was incredibly helpful. We were in a bind, needed a place quickly for mother in law who was forced out of her home by a sewage leak that was not her fault, Rick was a lifesaver! We took a tour, loved what we saw, and signed on within.a day or 2. Mother in law is so happy, loves meeting new people, loves the ease of the meals, the activities keep her busy all day, it's all just so great. We are thrilled she's there and hope we can shift her there permanently instead of going back to her single family home and being alone. Definitely check out Pacifica/Forest Trace - we looked at a few other places and none even came close.

As a recent retiree and new Floridian, I am excited and thrilled with my decision to move to Pacifica Forest Trace. The buildings and grounds are beautiful. My newly renovated two bedroom apartment is gorgeous. All of the executives and staff are superior. The cuisine is luscious and offers a tremendous selection for the individual palates. Before Covid 19, there were non-stop activiities all day and after dinner. The Health Department is not only conveniently located in my building but the Doctors, Nurses and staff are professional and compassionate. Even though I did not know one person when I moved here, I now have many new friends and meet more people everyday. I am extremely happy here and rate Pacifica Forest Trace 10 Star!!!!

We just took my mother in law here and spent some time with Robin who explained and answered all our questions. The place is amazing. It is set in a beautifully landscaped forrest with so many amenities. We looked at both the one and two bedroom apartments which were recently renovated including all new appliances. They were both huge, bright, and the floor plans where obviously setup for safe senior accessibility. We were very impressed.

Recently, we decided to move my parents to an Independent living facility. We interviewed and inspected many of the facilities within the area and decided on Pacifica Forest Trace. Interestingly, it was an easy decision. Dealing initially with Michelle and then with Indi, the process couldn't have been smoother. From the moment we first set foot in the facility to the actual move in date, we were impressed every step of the way. Indi, doesn't understand the word "no" and could not have been more accommodating for my parents. She truly went above and beyond every step of the process. My parents call me daily to tell me just how much they enjoy their new residence, how great the food is and just how special every member of the Pacifica team really is. What initially was thought to be a dreaded experience, turned out to be one of the smartest decisions we have made. One word comes to mind when I think about Pacifica Forest Trace and that's "WOW"!

My parents reside in Florida and my brother and I live up north. My brother and I are hoping my parents will relocate to Forest Trace to live in a beautiful community with amazing support. We have toured Forest Trace twice with Michelle. The facilities were clean and beautiful. Michelle arranged for my parents to have a weekend stay to see if the community was a good "fit" for them. They were paired with other members of the community for meals and activities. My mom reported that the residents they met were friendly, helpful and all enjoyed life at Forest Trace. Meals were excellent and the staff was kind and helpful. We are encouraging our parents to relocate to Forest Trace soon.

I would say that Pacifica Forest Trace rates near the top of the list in senior housing. The facility grounds are amazing, with a view that takes your breath away when you drive on the property. The residents are happy, and appreciate the opportunity to live here. As for the Staffing, Pacifica staff are treated equally with other facilities of the same size. They have a good handle on what is in the market and they try to stay within the competitive market. I have always said that I would never work in a place where I wouldnt want my own parents to live. I am proud to say that I would love to have my parents live at Pacifica Forest Trace, if they were here.
