5 Assisted Living Communities in Merced, California

The Hampshire was very good. They had everything. However, they didn't have a gym or a pool as part of their system. You would have to go to a third party place down the street to get to the gym and the pool. Also, they wouldn't let my dog in. Those two issues killed it for me. The food was excellent. They have a library, they have some exercise equipment, they have very good food, and they're very nice people. The sales manager was extremely good. She kept trying to get me to come down there six months after I visited.

We love The Hampshire, but they couldn't deal with my father-in-law's wandering and dementia. It's more for people who are more mobile and able to care for themselves. It's a very nice community, I wish we could have put him there. If it would get to a point where I couldn't take care of myself, I would go to The Hampshire. The price was very reasonable, but they didn't have a locked facility.

Pacifica Senior Living Merced is an absolutely beautiful place. It's clean and immaculate, and I wouldn't mind being there. It's just really expensive because of my father-in-law's issues, it would have been too costly for him. It's gorgeous and very upscale.

I visited the Hampshire, and it’s absolutely beautiful. The staff was just amazing, knowledgeable, and polite. The main thing I really like is the interaction between the residents and the staff, they’re caring, honest, but they want them to be functional, and independent people. It’s clean, it’s just amazing, and I want to live there. We saw an efficiency, it was clean, very nice, and well laid out. It was perfect.

The Hampshire is a nice place. My mother has been there for a couple of years now. The food is pretty good. I was there for Christmas dinner, and they had prime rib that was almost raw, but other than that, everything else is pretty decent. They do all kinds of activities there, which she does all the time. She likes it there so much. It's a very nice facility, and they seem to take care of everybody. The staff is nice and very friendly.

Pacifica Senior Living Merced was very nice. What we saw looked like a first class hotel. They have a respite place where your loved one can stay while you're on vacation or whatever. They gave me some paperwork for when the time is right. There was only one person that we interacted with and that was the salesperson. I didn't really see very many staff. At most, there was one other person as we were walking around that I saw. The salesperson was very friendly and knowledgeable. The room that they showed me was very well equipped, had its own television, and was quite nice. It had microwave and things like that, but I didn't see anything that my husband would want to be a part of.

The Hampshire was perfect, but we can't afford it. The staff was great and friendly, and the manager who took us on our tour was wonderful and very helpful. The place was great, beautiful, and clean. They can sit at any table for meals, so they weren't assigned to a table.
