This is the promise that the staff at Pacifica Senior Living Merced – and throughout Pacifica Senior Livingmunities – has shared since our community first opened its doors. It's a simple promise to be compassionate and kind, understanding and respectful – a promise to become extended family to the seniors entrusted in our care and to our residents who have chosen our retirement community for its active lifestyle.

The Perfect Location

Pacifica Senior Living is centrally located in Merced, California's "Central Valley". Merced is also close to the Pacific Coast and Yosemite National Park. On a clear day there is a beautiful view of the "Sierra Mountains" off to the east. Highway 99 is a short distance from our community, making travel easy. Even though Merced is a smaller community made up mostly of hardworking farmers, the city of Fresno is only an hour away. Merced is home to "Mercy Hospital and the University of Merced.

Yet should you need a helping hand from our warm and caring staff, we also offer complete assisted living services, tailor-made to your needs. Our services focus on wellness to help you maintain your health, so you can live as independently as possible.

Short Term Services

Short-term Care (also called respite care) is a flexible option that can be customized to help busy caregivers provide the best possible care for a loved one with Alzheimer's or dementia while also caring for themselves and the rest of their families.

The constant demands of providing care in the home can be stressful and cause difficulties in juggling schedules, managing daily activities, caring for children and the home, or going to work. Sometimes a change in health status, surgery, or hospitalization can bring about additional challenges to providing care in the home. Help may be needed for a period of time when the caregiver is going out of town or just needs a break.

Short-Term Care can be scheduled as needed and includes all the services and amenities our residents enjoy every day, including:

• 24-hour personal care and assistance
• Three nutritious meals per day plus snacks
• Furnished bedroom (private or companion)
• Use of all the common areas inside the building and out, including walking paths and gardens
• Housekeeping and linen service
