"The Oaks of Pasadena is a charming senior community with very friendly staff and residents. Definitely worth checking out!" - Steve… Read more

"I visited Brookdale Alhambra and found it to be welcoming with a home like feel. It was helpful talking to the staff, they were friendly, professional and patient. The latter being particularly important because assisted living is a new concept for me and my family. This didn't have the feel of a sleepy nursing home so I think my mom would be happy here. I'm going to give this five stars, might come back and update if she moves in and stays for a few months. We're curious if she'll like the food over time." - Maggie… Read more

"We have researched and visited multiple facilities in the area. Regency Park Oak Knoll is by far the best place available. Their staff has been fantastic, the accommodations are excellent and the food is first rate. The place specializes in memory care and the staff provides all the care and support that is needed. Highly recommend." - Scott… Read more

"I am very lucky we found this place for my grandmother in LA. I was skeptical at first that my grandma would be okay away from home but I feel like she has really come around and I think a big aspect was Sakura's cultural affinity; there are a lot of people here who share my Grandma's native Japanese language and culture. I have seen more luxe places in LA but this place was very tidy and well put together without being ostentatious. Ultimately i think it's about the community of people and this was the right one for us!" - Grateful… Read more

"I am new to the community and have been very pleased with the level of care and attention for our father in memory care. The staff is accommodating in every way, for example serving my father the foods he especially enjoys. His caretakers are well-trained in dementia and value dignity and purpose for the residents. One of my father's caretakers has spent extra time to keep us up-to-date on my father's activities, mood, and needs; she shares photos and stories and makes herself available to us as needed. The staff is well supported by an administration that is approachable. Staff members have patiently guided us through the start of this journey. Clearly those who work at the Kensington enjoy their jobs and support each other. We are thankful to have found this home for our father." - Begüm… Read more

"I recently visited California Mission Inn and had an amazing experience, definately more than i expected. The staff was warm and welcoming, they knew all the residents by name and were very knowledgeable in caring for the elderly. The food was excellent and the activities provided a great mix of physical, spiritual, and social interactions. The building itself was beautiful inside and out with wonderful people, caring staff, and a peaceful atmosphere. All in all it felt like I had stepped into a Garden of Eden without the snake!" - Brooklyn… Read more

"My mom and I settled on Del Mar Park more than 10 years ago (when it was Chancellor Place). Denise, the Administrator understood my mom right away and adjusted her level of care and delivered the day-to-day support that gave her the consistency, healthcare support and quality of life that earned my trust and gratitude. The nursing and support staff are exceptional in their commitment to the health and well-being of the residents. And my mom wasn't always the easiest personality to please." - Brett… Read more

"Our family is so grateful to the staff and especially to the Memory care staff. My Mother in law just went in December and although it hasn't been that long we have times the high level of professionalism from the staff. More importantly they give such wonderful care and love towards the patient. Memory care is a hard place to work...very challenging and we have noticed the patience and kindness of the staff towards the patients who really are in need 24 hours a day. In our case my mother in law was extremely anxious and cried a lot certain times of the day. She was confused and at times agitated due to her dementia. Every time a family member visited we came upon a scene of them holding my mother in laws hand and trying to comfort her and giving her positive encouragement and love. They would cheer her on and keep her spirits high. Just absolutely lovely to see.....we would go unannounced and so we know now that its not just for show. Truly appreciated!" - Monica… Read more

"I cannot say enough good things about Brookdale Monrovia Assisted Living. The staff is wonderful and special shout outs to Allyson, Nancy and Ralph for being so kind, caring and respectful. As a resident of Monrovia, I researched many facilities for my mother so she could live close by, have a good-sized personal living space, maintain her independence, have activities available and feel welcome by her new community all within a budget she could afford. Brookdale Monrovia exceeded all our expectations. My mother shared with me often how she loved her apartment, how everyone was so kind to her and how she wished she had moved here sooner. I highly recommend this facility!" - John J.… Read more

"My wife has resided at Memory Care at Sage Glendale for several months. Her incoming transition was difficult, as might have been expected. but the staff, especially Thomas, the Director, could not have been more helpful. He understood my wife's anxieties from the start, and assured me that he would oversee her comfort. In the first weeks my wife was confused, not sure why she found herself in a new home. But the staff, so considerate and warm, made her achieving her comfort much easier. Her idiosyncrasies were responded to, and she was gently guided towards the many activities and pleasures of living at Sage Glendale. My experience of the staff is that they are always ready to help, and smile often as they do their work. They got to know my wife quite quickly, and they seem to understand her, even in the confusion of her dementia. Geraldine is one of the med techs who frequently help out. Ditas is also always solve problems and seek solutions." - Michael… Read more

"My mother lived at The Terraces for almost two years...until it burned down in the Eaton fire this past January 7, 2025. She LOVED this place, and so did I. It was so warm, welcoming and cozy, with fireplaces on each of the three levels and cute sitting areas. The lobby was bright and airy and also had sitting areas. All the caregivers, staff, and especially Sam B, were nothing less than wonderful and they all knew each of the tenants by name. Sam interacted with each and every senior and they LOVE him! The night of the fire was one of the worst nights for everyone...the whole place was lost...and unfortunately, so was our little community. I say "our", because even though it was my mother who lived there, I felt like I was a part of the family too. I am hoping and praying that they can rebuild soon, this place truly was like no other!" - Christine… Read more
