This place is an excellent facility that specializes in the care of Chinese speaking people. It is well maintained and the staff is always ready to help. My mom lived there until she passed .
If you’re looking for peace of mind, this is the place to bring your loved ones. The care team are kind hearted and take good care of the residents. All the residents are well cared for, their clothes are kept clean and washed and beds are made daily. Residents always look neat and tidy. My husband, who lives in the memory care neighborhood, brags about the food that is served. He says it’s the best he’s ever had. There are a lot of activities to keep them busy my husband loves the music acts, you’ll find him singing and whistling along. I highly recommend Fremont Hills.
From my experience, people are very friendly, and they seem to be doing a very good job. It's a good place to take your loved one to get the best possible care. Externally the property looks good, but I couldn't tell you about the inside since we're not allowed inside for visits right now. Again, the staff I've interacted with are excellent, very friendly, very kind, and very easy to talk to. They answer any questions you have. I can't complain, we're getting good service at Pacifica.
