The Terraces at Park Marino

Overview of The Terraces at Park Marino

The Terraces at Park Marino, located at 2587 East Washington Boulevard in Pasadena, Los Angeles County, operates as a 112-bed nursing home, assisted living, and memory care facility under Park Marino Health Center, Inc. Administration is led by Maria Teresita Quizon, with Adam Khalifa as Executive Director. Licensed since June 2000, the community has 25 years of operating history serving seniors requiring short-term rehabilitation, assisted living support, and memory care services.

The facility earns 3–4 star CMS ratings on quality of care, performing 49–69 percent better than California averages on functional decline, mobility, falls prevention, and pressure ulcer management. Vaccination administration reaches 100 percent for both pneumococcal and influenza protocols. The payer profile leans heavily toward Medicare short-stay residents (87% of admissions, averaging 1 month), with 10 percent Medicaid long-stay admissions and typical stays of 1–2 years.

CMS ratings for staffing stand at 1-star, 71 percent below the California state average; a critical deficiency. Inspection records since 2021 show 23 total citations (130% above the California average), including 18 Type A serious citations (500% above the state average).

Most critically, on August 7, 2025, state inspectors substantiated a failure to evacuate a resident during a mandatory fire evacuation triggered by the Eaton fire. The resident was left in their room and had to be evacuated by the fire department, constituting an immediate risk to persons in care. Earlier deficiencies included inadequate dementia care planning and missing physician appraisals. The facility was destroyed in the Eaton fire.

As of January 2026, the facility is non-operational. Pending rebuilding and fire code compliance clearance, The Terraces at Park Marino’s operational status remains under reconstruction.

Prospective residents should verify the current facility status and address the substantiated emergency evacuation failure before considering placement.
