There are endless benefits to downsizing in your golden years, like taking advantage of lower energy bills, having a smaller space to maintain, and having the opportunity to move closer to loved ones. It’s a wonderful way to start the next stage of your life. Even so, it can be a difficult experience for older adults. Saying goodbye to a long-time home may not come easy, but there are steps you can take to make the transition as smooth and stress-free as possible.
You’ve done plenty of research, you’ve started asking questions, and now it’s time to connect with your loved one about their living options. If you are looking to start a conversation with a loved one or family member about moving to a senior living community, it can be difficult to know where to be. Going about it the right way can help them get the care they need and make the most of their retirement years. Pacifica Senior Living communities pair a vibrant, engaging lifestyle with a range of care levels to offer the best of both worlds for all our seniors.
Summer is a great time to make a change, make a move, or take that big next step. If you’ve been thinking about making the move to a senior living community, there is no better time than now!

There are a lot of myths and misinformation about senior living communities, when you should move into one, what they are like, and even how much they cost. We have compiled a list of the most common myths about senior living to help you get all the facts, and break the stigmas that surround senior living and retirement communities.
Moving can seem like an overwhelming task under normal circumstances, but add in the additional details that are involved when it is a relocation to senior living and it can seem even more daunting. How much furniture to bring, how many personal items are appropriate, what you want to spend, or what care level you need are just some of the questions you may be asking yourself as you make the move.
To help with this transition, we’ve put together a checklist for you of some of the key questions you should ask when preparing for a move to Senior Living. We hope it will help point you in the right direction and answer some of the toughest questions you may have about making the change to a senior living community.
As we age, many of us may require assistance with our daily activities. The reasons may vary, but there’s one constant factor involved for all families: health care comes at a cost. Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurers will cover many medical services associated with aging, but what costs can families expect? How can you ensure you get great care without spending a fortune?
This spring, it's time to clean out what you aren't using and hit refresh. Spring is a great time for renewal, new beginnings, and making changes, and that includes finding a new place to call home. This spring we invite you to choose Pacifica Senior Living and make the move to one of our award-winning Independent or Assisted Living Communities.
