She wasn't there long enough to really determine all aspects of care. But the staff was attentive and sweet and patient. There were times when I thought she could've been changed more often but once I mentioned it to them they were very on top of it . Mom didn't eat much in her waning days so I can't comment on the food. But overall, it was clean, staff was good and they always answered my calls and were good about giving me updates.

I would give this community 5 out of 5 in every category. Assisted living is always a challenge, but I believe they have all the tools needed to provide the best possible experience. The community is lively, well staffed, and filled with friendly, active, and social residents, creating a welcoming atmosphere. While it's impossible to know exactly how it compares to other communities without living there, based on our introductory visits, none of the other places we toured came close. It stood out as the clear choice for our family.

Nice accommodations (the apartment is very nice and spacious). Friendly staff. Wonderfully kept grounds. Food has been good enough to keep her from wanting to cook herself.

Review for Pasadena Highlands

Staff is warm friendly and supportive. Lots of activities to choose from but my mom prefers to sit them out and they validate her choices and wishes. Food is very good with a wide variety of choices. My mom's apartment is beautiful and spacious with a lovely view of the garden. The garden space is the best part of all! My mom loves to stroll in the gorgeous, enclosed, private space and enjoys interacting with other residents throughout the property. It has been the perfect choice for my mom and I recommend it very highly!

Review for Pasadena Highlands

My father is in a memory care room. The entire 3rd floor is reserved for people with memory care issues. Secured with access code. 2 x Dinning rooms are also on the 3rd floor. 1 large and one smaller room. He has 2 closets, his lazy boy recliner, dresser, adjustable queen bed, side table, floor lamp and 70" tv from home. 4' x 12' balcony with 6' x 8' glass sliding door and great view of mountains.

Disappointing

We moved our family members out after 3 months because their needs were not being met. Our original sales person was fabulous until the day we moved them in. On the positive side, place was clean, pleasant dining room with good food and [name removed] at the front desk is probably the best employee with good communication and follow through. But overall. We felt our family members slipped through the cracks. For example. We paid for laundry service, but if our family forgot to put it out by the door, it wasn't done. Staff was aware of the memory issues, but didn't remind them so dirty laundry accumulated in the closet.

The entire staff was so kind to my Mom, especially those in the memory care unit. They took care of her like family. She grew to love several of the caregivers before her passing.

The facility could be utilized better. Because it has only two elevators , movement through the facility is slow. Also, there was some turnover in staffing that causes some disruption

My experience

I give the residence an A- because they are not supplying residents with bottled water. Other than that short coming, they have given a top shelf effort. 4/5 would be accurate. This place really does try to be the best but they should be told when they fail short.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know California’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about California’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
