    My mom lived in the Ackerly for a very short period of time before she passed. However, our…read moreexperience was far from perfect. While the facility itself is gorgeous- behind the scenes it's not so peachy. I used to dread weekends because that's often when they utilized their agency caregivers (many of whom were inept and couldn't even do a proper transfer from bed to wheelchair). I had a certain incident there where one of these caregivers gave ME a controlled substance to give to my mom in case she needed it. Totally not okay and against protocol. I reported it. The Ackerly told me they were discussing it, but never got back to me. I had experience with caregivers trying to put my mom to bed at 6 pm like a toddler. When asked I was told "Well, that's always when we put your mom to bed." You will get tons of attention and questions answered before you move in and right after. But, the communication quickly ends- I experienced many unreturned emails and telephone calls. I realize this is a petty comment, but after my mom passed we never even got a condolence from The Ackerly. Not even a Hallmark card in the mail. In summary, while The Ackerly looks pretty, what goes on behind closed doors certainly isn't. Hopefully this review won't also get deleted.

    Do business with these people at your own risk! My wife and I were residents for a brief period…read more She was in the Assisted Living category, which I didn't need or want. They advertise Independent Living, and that's the level, I requested. Guess what? Ackerly lumps everyone into either Assisted or Memory Care and won't honor Independent Living! After two weeks there, we gave notice to move out and seek care elsewhere. The director of Health and Wellness being our reason. Best advice: Do not sign anything without review by your attorney. You need an escape clause in the event of sub-standard care that you feel you might be receiving. I am still getting bills from Omnicare, a commercial pharmacy, long after we moved out, for medication, which I never authorized or needed. I'm being generous with a two-star rating, only due to the ladies at the front desk, who are pleasant, contrasted with staff members!

    Pacifica is home. The staff is loving and supportive and this is real not lip service. Mom had to…read morebe in a rehab place briefly and these two facilities are worlds apart. Pacifica is probably the best memory care in the Pacific northwest. The director and staff came to visit mom and to offer support to us. This is family. The rehab place smelled of urine and was dirty and didn't seem to care about their patients at all. 45 minutes to answer a call light ridiculous. We are so relieved to have mom back at Pacifica. Thank you for your love and support and your dedication to your residents and their family. We love you

    This is the worst place for any kind of care. we had our mother there and the treatment was awful…read more she had several unattended falls within a 2 week period. More than once when visiting she was found laying on her bed soaked from pee, that was drying (obvious that she had laid there for a while). We were told that if residence didn't want to be touched it was their policy to leave them. They also threw out her meds if she refused then instead of having another caregiver try. the last draw was when I visited and my mother had a black eye and no one knew how she got it. The administrator was never available and never returned calls.

    My in-laws paid their $150K move-in fee on the basis of the promises made over the course of…read moreseveral years that the rent and minimal fees were all inclusive. This retirement community was supposed to be economical, safe, and convenient. Meals were supposed to be discounted, with many services like a shopping shuttle and medical transportation included. In truth, they could have lived in a bigger, more luxurious room at the Best Western down the street and eaten all their meals at a local restaurant for less money than they ended up paying. After move-in, the free shopping shuttle and medical transport were shut down because Friendsview "couldn't find a driver to hire". This, to my knowledge, has never been subsequently addressed. Their 500 sf apartment cost them $1200 per month, initially. They ended up cooking their own meals because meals were $12 each ($72 per day for 3 meals for 2 people). Eventually, my FIL had to go into the Friendsview memory care program, which was supposed to be a greatly discounted program for residents of Friendsview. Thereafter, the monthly rent and fees amounted to $3000. That did not include supplies used in the memory care unit. They were charged for every item supplied, every aspirin, and every latex glove at exorbitant rates. To add injury to insult, workers in the memory care unit mismanaged my FIL's medication. Because one of the medicines was causing him to slip into unresponsiveness , his doctor ordered it stopped. When he was found unresponsive a few days later it became apparent that he was being given the medication despite a note in his chart to stop that medication. My in-laws granddaughter is an RN, and when she questioned why the drug was still being given staff argued with her that it was doctor's orders. The financial burden was more than my MIL could sustain long term, so when my FIL died she moved out, abandoning the $150K buy-in money. Our experience is that these people are dishonest, uncaring, incompetent, and will squeeze every penny out of their clients that they can. Avoid this place like the plague.

    I was on staff for a short period, several months. I found the management to be very poor at…read morecommunication with staff. They provided zero training. Overall, very disorganized on the management end. Disappointing. Mission was just a statement, not a fact.
