Chesapeake Place Senior Living

Chesapeake Place Senior Living sits in a quiet spot with close access to local medical care and transportation. The community offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care in a relaxed and friendly environment. Residents live in private or semi-private rooms, with several choices like Deluxe, Grand Suite, Premiere, and Regal apartments. Each apartment can come furnished or not, and most have private bathrooms, kitchenettes, patios or balconies, and emergency call systems. For safety and ease, there are wheelchair-accessible showers and full tubs, with special help for those who need standby support, mechanical lifts, or extra hands moving from place to place. Residents may keep pets, including cats and dogs.

Daily life at Chesapeake Place gives residents three chef-prepared meals in a spacious dining room, with options for guests, vegetarian diets, organic choices, and special meal plans for those needing low sodium or low sugar. The property offers a beauty salon with a stylist who comes on Tuesdays, outdoor patios, gardens, cozy sitting rooms, a card and game room, a theatre, and private dining areas, all intended to give comfortable spaces to gather, relax, or enjoy being with others. There's a strong social program directed by a full-time Activity Director, with things like stretching, yoga, art classes, gardening, community volunteering, outings, cooking classes, educational talks, intergenerational visits, and pet-focused activities.

Supporting residents' needs, trained staff help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, grooming, management of medicines, and support for those who wander or may have difficult behaviors. Chesapeake Place is designed for people living with Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia, using secured memory care buildings and technology like bracelet alarms to prevent wandering. Nurses and caregivers stay awake around the clock. Care includes help with transfers, diabetic support-such as monitoring blood sugar-plus behavioral and incontinence services, therapy services like physical, occupational, or speech therapy, and support groups. Residents get personalized care plans that focus on their strengths, aimed at keeping them safe and as independent as possible. Weekly housekeeping keeps rooms clean, and maintenance staff cover emergencies 24 hours a day.

Chesapeake Place also provides respite care for short stays and hospice support when needed. The staff creates an environment shaped by kindness and respect, seeing to both health and comfort every day. Residents can enjoy as much privacy as they'd like, with help nearby if they ever need it, and with plenty of opportunity to spend time in common areas, enjoy meals, or take part in activities that keep body and mind active. The entire property, from the sunlight in the apartments and vintage furnishings to special secure memory care sections, stays focused on giving seniors a comfortable and dignified place to live.

Chesapeake Place Senior Living is managed by 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.
