Pacifica Senior Living Merced offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to remain on the same campus even as needs change. The community supports daily activities, personal care, and cognitive support through structured programs for residents living with dementia. Short-term respite stays are available for family caregivers who need a break or for older adults recovering from illness or surgery. A focused diabetes management program and a Mental Wellness Program add clinical depth to the daily care plan.
On site, licensed nurses are present up to 16 hours each day to oversee medication management, monitor chronic conditions, and coordinate with physicians. Occupational and physical therapists provide rehabilitation, while trained staff deliver incontinence and ambulatory assistance. Hospice coordination is available when needed, and a secured perimeter together with an enclosed courtyard helps reduce the risk of wandering for Memory Care residents. The entire setting operates as a secured community to promote safety.
Residences vary by floor plan and feature sets; not every apartment includes every option. Available features include wheelchair-accessible showers, private kitchenettes, phone and cable hookups, Wi-Fi, and air conditioning. Some units overlook landscaped outdoor areas such as the butterfly garden, and parking—both covered and uncovered—is offered for residents who still drive. Common areas include a library and computer lounge, giving residents additional space to read, browse the internet, or meet with visitors. Cats are permitted, subject to community guidelines.
Dining is provided restaurant-style with flexible, all-day service. Menus include standard, low-sodium, no-sugar, vegetarian, and international choices, and guest meals can be arranged. Residents can eat in the main dining room or request meals delivered to their apartments when health needs make it necessary.
Recreational and wellness programming aims to keep residents active and socially engaged. Daily options may include sensory-based and reminiscence activities, Montessori and Live Well programs, fitness and stretching classes, trivia games, wine tastings, happy hours, birthday celebrations, dances, and intergenerational visits. Indoor and outdoor walking paths, an activity center, clubs, and a movie room add variety, while scheduled social outings and access to a swimming pool round out the calendar.
