The connection between our senses and our memory is a deep one. Smells, sounds, and tastes can invoke warm memories, while visuals and touch can have strong associations. This connection between memory and sense can be a useful tool in Memory Care programs and treatments.
At Pacifica Senior Living we aim to be on the cusp of new studies, programs and treatments that can help our residents enjoy a more comfortable, peaceful life.
This March 8th is International Women’s Day and we want to take a moment to highlight some of the amazing women residents at Pacifica Senior Living and Meridian Communities. As we celebrate Women's Day, we want to share the accomplishments, stories, careers, and lives of the women of Pacifica. Each of these women has a unique and inspiring story that can be a light to others forging their own path.
This year, National Employee Appreciation Day falls on March 4th, and we take this day to celebrate all our staff at Pacifica Senior Living and say a very big THANK YOU for all your hard work.
National Employee Appreciation Day was first created and celebrated in 1995 by a company called Workman Publishing, as a way for employers to acknowledge the hard work and efforts of their staff. Now, we celebrate it each year and take the time to brag about just how great our staff are.
When a person is diagnosed with a degenerative neurological condition like Parkinson’s disease or Alzheimer’s disease or other memory loss diseases, they may experience new challenges or disruptions to their routines and daily life. Favorite pastimes become more difficult, and managing household tasks can feel overwhelming. These individuals may even feel disoriented or out of place.
With Dementia rates unfortunately climbing, the need for specialized care programs is also increasing. At Pacifica Senior Living & The Meridian communities, we offer our innovative Namaste Care to help residents experience as much peace and calm as possible in the later stages of life.
Whether 2022 marks the year you take on your first caregiving role, or you’re seeking an option for long-term care, it can be hard to know where to get started. Pacifica Senior Living can help!

It’s no secret that Americans nationwide are experiencing the effects of inflation. The housing market is at an all-time high, with homes selling for more than their asking prices in cities across the United States. For many, this provides a great opportunity to sell their home and maximize their return on investment -- with today’s housing market, selling a home can mean walking away with a large nest egg for retirement.
It’s February, which means it’s time for the winners of the NFL’s two conferences -- the AFC and the NFC -- to battle it out in the epic sporting event that is the annual Super Bowl.
As we age, one of the largest concerns many have is an increase in social isolation. Loneliness, or a loss or social connection has long been linked with growing older, and can have significant impacts on health (mental and physically.)
Many Pacifica Senior Living communities are pet-friendly, welcoming residents to live with their beloved four-legged friends. Pets play an important role in our lives as friends and companions, but did you know that pets offer specific benefits to seniors that make them an even more valuable part of the family?
