Calaroga Terrace sits in a 17-story high-rise that looks out over the city skyline, which means you get some nice views even if you don't end up everywhere in the building. The community offers several types of living options, including independent living for active older adults, assisted living for those who need some help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, or taking medicines, and memory care designed for people with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, and there's also respite care for short stays if someone needs a break or temporary support. Skilled nursing care is available on-site for folks who need more care than assisted living can give, which is handy if health needs change but you don't want to move somewhere else. The facility can house up to 105 residents and gives them different choices when it comes to social activities, meals, and chances to get together with others. The building pays attention to food-meals are balanced, with a variety and nutrition in mind, and the dining room is meant to feel more like a community than anything fancy. Staff members aim to be friendly and helpful, so the place tries to feel welcoming and supportive, though each person experiences it in their own way. Calaroga Terrace carries proper licensing, and it's considered a luxury senior living community, but at its heart, it's a place where older adults can find independent or assisted living, get skilled care if needed, and stay among others, with services that try to make life a bit easier. There isn't a lot of fancy language or hype about what happens here, and no one says it's perfect, but the community combines housing, care, and different options under one roof, which matters if you want to stay put as your needs change.

Warm community but accessibility trade-offs
I live at Calaroga Terrace and there's a lot to love - unbeatable downtown views, great location and transportation, an active activities program, and genuinely caring, friendly staff who make this community feel homey. The dining can be outstanding (brunches, soups, steaks) but is inconsistent and order mistakes happen. Maintenance is often responsive, yet the building is older, noisy with poor acoustics, needs updates, and some apartments are very small. Communication, staffing shortages and management turnover are recurring concerns, and restrictive policies (like limits on electric wheelchairs) hurt accessibility. In short: warm community and excellent people, but expect trade-offs and verify care/accessibility before committing.

About Calaroga Terrace
About Pacifica Senior Living
Pacifica Senior Living, a division of Pacifica Companies (family-owned since 1978), was founded in 2008 and is headquartered in San Diego, California. Operating over 90 communities across 13-14 states with concentrations in California, Florida, and Arizona, Pacifica has grown to become the 13th largest overall senior care provider in the United States. The company ranks as the 5th largest memory care provider, 10th largest assisted living provider, and 21st largest independent living provider nationally, serving thousands of residents from coast to coast through their comprehensive care offerings. Pacifica's mission centers on creating a lifestyle of independence, security, and peace of mind for each individual and their family. The company provides personalized, compassionate care services through their signature Heartland™ Assisted Living and Legacies™ Memory Care programs, which focus on the individual while offering customized care plans that respect each resident's needs, preferences, and privacy. Their philosophy emphasizes striking a balance between assistance and independence, providing dignified and compassionate retirement experiences in environments that feel like home. Each community is managed individually, allowing for tailored support of unique resident profiles and communal character, with everything from scheduling to dining menus designed around residents' preferences. The company's specialized memory care programs demonstrate their expertise in dementia care. Their Legacies™ Memory Care program helps patients with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of memory loss feel safe and secure while providing memory-boosting activities. The innovative Amara Memory Support program creates welcoming and empowering environments that celebrate the essence of people rather than focusing on their diagnosis. Programming encompasses nine Focus Elements of Life: Recreation, Service, Spirituality, Movement, Sensory, Household Connection, Community, Exploration, and Creative Arts, delivered through stimulating activities including gardening, culinary adventures, musical experiences, creative artistic outlets, and mindfulness practices. Pacifica offers a comprehensive continuum of care including independent living, assisted living, memory care, respite care, skilled nursing, and adult day care services. All communities focus on promoting well-being by meeting care needs while facilitating social interactions, activities, and wellness programs. Despite recent financial challenges leading to the bankruptcy of one management entity affecting approximately 20 California facilities, the majority of Pacifica's nearly 100 communities continue operating, maintaining their commitment to advancing senior living and providing peace of mind to residents and families through warm, family-like communities where each resident receives individualized attention while maintaining dignity and independence.
