Pacifica Senior Living: Dedicated to The Safety of Their Communities

From balance issues, diminished eyesight, arthritis, immobility, to cognitive decline, some conditions make it high-risk and unsafe for seniors living on their own. Trips, slips, and falls from household items like extension cords, bulky area rugs, slippery bathtubs, ladders, and uneven flooring, are often what cause so many seniors to fall. If you live on your own, it’s important to be safe. You could try to make things logistically better within the home, such as making sure the phone is within reach, clearing clutter, recommending assistive technology like walkers, hearing aids, long-reach activator poles, buttoning aids, bed and bathtub handles and medical alert devices, to name a few.

Aging can be challenging not only relating to our health but also our ability to perform daily tasks and to live the life we deserve. If you’re contemplating senior living, Pacifica is here to help you safely transition and move into their community even through the coronavirus pandemic, storms or whatever else we will face in the future. Their staff practices universal precautions and will help residents with proper, ongoing hygiene. No matter what the world is facing, Pacifica is always stocked with food and water and all essential supplies for their residents and patients.

They can assist with medication management and implement protocols to help seniors thrive in all manner of times. Additionally, Pacifica is well-equipped with a generator and solar panels onsite. With plenty of activities, you will never feel isolated or be faced to watch the news all day long (which exacerbates depression in many individuals).

Pacifica offers 24-hour care, doctor onsite visits, housekeeping service, laundry service, chef prepared meals and transportation.
