My dad has been at Pacific Grove since early 2023. Moving him in his late 80s was challenging, but the staff was incredibly patient and considerate, especially on his difficult days. They worked closely with him, and now he is very happy. I'm so grateful for their delightful and supportive care.

It’s a great building undergoing many upgrades — a great location with friendly and happy staff and residents. Communication has been good. We picked this community because it's an attractive apartment at a reasonable monthly rate. I want to be able to transition my Mother in Law to Independent Living when the time comes.

Everyone here is so nice! There are rides to shopping, field trips, in-house classical concerts etc. I am relatively new so I am discovering new amenities every day. It's so close to Lovers' Point Beach and the rest of the above and underwater scenery! Love it so far!
