"My husband was here for 5 months, he is extremely worse. An incident happened & I was not informed about it until 2 days later. Therefore, it was highly recommended that I must come pick him up!! In hindsight, I should have called a Crisis Center, because let’s be clear (this is a memory center) I thought I had no choice, so I picked him up, took him to the Hospital where he stayed for 3 weeks. He is now at another Facility due to the lack of care & trauma he received at Pacifica! I will not state names, but please do a thorough research before placing a loved one here. It truly saddens my heart for the patients & families that don’t know the truth and or may be naive about elder care" - Toni…

With an emphasis on the safety and security of our residents, Sunshine Village allows residents to live the day to day routines of their lives, all the while supported by a knowledgeable, caregiving team, 24 hours a day. Whether you are looking for long term or short term respite, our unique memory care cottages offer you peace of mind and the assurance your loved one is provided with compassion, respect, and dignity. Sunshine Village is a home that provides an unrestrained atmosphere where residents are able to enjoy themselves while feeling comfortable and secure. We want the care we provide to ease any stress and anxiety our families could be experiencing. At Sunshine Village, we bring families peace of mind to know that care and means do exist that serve to diminish the effects of memory disease and empower the individual to maintain a dignified quality of life. Sunshine Village is solely committed to that task. As the progression of dementia such as Alzheimer’s becomes more and more difficult to maintain at home, there comes a time when a dedicated, knowledgeable, caring staff can give round the clock care to your loved one that you as a family member deserve. The compassionate and experienced caregiving team at Sunshine Village are knowledgeable in providing this care in a unique, home–style setting. Continued research shows that the environment is of the utmost importance when attending to individuals with memory care challenges. Environments that supply continued cognitive stimulation and challenges – as well as regular, comfortable daily routines – go a lot further when individuals are in a small group situation, in which their peers are of the same cognitive abilities. Each individual’s quality of life is the defining goal of any memory care community or program. Sunshine Village is no exception. The environment at Sunshine Village is a safe haven for those individuals anguishing with the symptoms of memory loss, whichever stage is currently manifested. We focus on each individual’s strengths and abilities and serve to further empower and enhance their sense of self, personal worth, pride, and independence. Sunshine Village is compassionately committed to provide each individual with dignity, respect, and respite from the challenges this disease imposes. Home equals family. At Sunshine Village, each individual is a member of our family. We get to know our residents and their families on a personal level so that we can provide the very best in what each individual needs.…
