Embracing vibrant senior living
1Twenty80 and some media friends had the privilege to immerse ourselves in the heartwarming atmosphere of Acacia by Pacific Senior Living for a delightful 2-day, 1-night stay. Nestled at 18A, Lebuh Enggang, Off, Persiaran Sultan, 41050 Klang, Selangor, this stay left an indelible mark in my (Hi, It’s Yasanthi here!) heart, showcasing the epitome of exceptional care and hospitality.
Upon arrival, we (fellow media friends) were greeted by Ms. Malini Selva, the Marketing Communications Manager, whose warm welcome set the stage for our unforgettable experience.
Dr. Ramnan Jeyasingam, the Interim CEO & Director of Health Services, further enriched our stay with his insightful speech, emphasising Pacific Senior Living’s commitment to holistic well-being.
During a one-on-one with Dr. Ramnan, he highlighted the importance of personalised care for senior citizens.
“Each senior resident arriving at Acacia brings unique health requirements, necessitating personalised care. It’s imperative that we conduct health screenings for every resident to ensure they receive the highest quality of care,” explained Dr. Ramnan.
As I settled into my superior room, I couldn’t help but admire the attention to detail and comfort. The en suite bathroom, equipped with three railings and emergency call buttons, exemplified the facility’s dedication to safety and convenience for its residents.
Acacia by Pacific Senior Living maintains a team of in-house staff and experts who are readily available to respond to emergency calls. In the event that the emergency call button is activated, trained caregivers and healthcare professionals swiftly come to the resident’s aid. Additionally, each floor is equipped with trained staff stationed to attend immediately to any emergency situation. This round-the-clock assistance provides residents and their families with peace of mind, knowing that immediate support is always at hand.
Throughout our stay, we had the opportunity to explore Acacia. From the karaoke rooms for socialising and entertaining to the barbecue pits where residents can enjoy outdoor dining with friends and family, every aspect of the residence is designed to promote social engagement and an active lifestyle. The pool and jacuzzi offer opportunities for gentle exercise and therapeutic relaxation, ideal for maintaining mobility and overall well-being. These thoughtfully curated amenities ensure that residents can enjoy a vibrant and fulfilling lifestyle in a secure and supportive environment.
I also had the pleasure of chatting with Ms. Margaret (a senior resident at Acacia), who vividly recounted her experiences from the day our country gained independence, reminiscing about the cherished memories of her youth.
When asked about her favourite aspect of staying at Acacia, she responded, “It’s the food! And the team here is incredibly kind and caring!”
Dato’ Dr. Nick Boden, founder of Spine & Joint, was also in attendance. He specialises in musculoskeletal disorders and spine conditions. With 21 years in Malaysia, he addresses spine and joint problems through an integrated approach and pioneering technologies like Shockwave therapy.
When asked about the importance of close care for elders, Dr. Nick Boden replied, “They deserve to enjoy a sense of community and feel like they’re well looked after and be worry-free in their older years.”
The recent collaboration with Pacific Senior Living, appointing Spine and Joint as joint partners to provide physiotherapy services, underscores the recognition of Dr. Boden’s expertise and the value his approach brings to healthcare services.
As night fell, we gathered for a delightful BBQ dinner accompanied by live music, karaoke, and dancing—a perfect culmination to a day filled with laughter, connection, and cherished memories. The best part is that I learned how to play pool!
Overall, my stay at Acacia by Pacific Senior Living was definitely a trip to remember. The dedication of the staff, the abundance of engaging activities, and the genuine sense of community made my experience truly unforgettable. I departed feeling rejuvenated, inspired, and deeply grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a vibrant and caring environment.
