Pacifica Senior Living Ocala provides two primary levels of residency: Assisted Living for adults who need day-to-day help with activities of daily living and Memory Care for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Residents in either program receive personalized care plans that can evolve as needs change, allowing couples or individuals to remain on the same campus even if their support requirements differ. Licensed caregivers are on duty around the clock, and the community accommodates both long-term and short-term stays, which can be helpful for families seeking respite care or evaluating a longer move.
Additional medical support is built into daily operations. The secured community design supports people prone to wandering, while on-site nurses oversee medication management and routine health monitoring, including diabetes care and incontinence management. A visiting physician coordinates with outside specialists, and hospice services are available when needed. Rehabilitation services—occupational, physical, and speech therapy—are conducted on campus, and a podiatrist visits regularly to address foot and mobility issues. Ambulatory assistance is available for residents who use walkers or wheelchairs, and the staff maintains close communication with families to report health changes.
Apartments and shared suites vary in size and layout, with features such as wheelchair-accessible showers, cable or satellite TV connections, Wi-Fi access, and individual climate control. Some residences open directly to outdoor areas, allowing easy access to the butterfly garden or courtyard seating. Common spaces include a piano for resident use, a computer lounge, and on-site parking. Because layouts differ, not every unit contains every feature; prospective residents are encouraged to confirm specific accommodations during a tour.
Meals are prepared by a professional chef and served throughout the day so residents can eat on their own schedule. The culinary staff offers standard, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, low-sodium, and no-sugar options, and international dishes appear on the rotating menu. Guests may join residents for meals, which can be useful for family visits. Nutrition plans are coordinated with clinical staff to align with physician orders, and hydration stations are available between meal times.
Residents have access to a range of social, recreational, and wellness programs, including clubs, library and computer lounge activities, karaoke sessions, happy hour, chair yoga, sensory-based programming, and intergenerational events. Outdoor walking paths and an activity center support daily exercise, while birthday parties, live music performances, dances, and scheduled social outings keep the calendar full. A swimming pool and regular fitness programs add to the community’s recreation options.
