Villa Gardens is a large, 340-bed Continuing Care Retirement Community managed by Front Porch Communities and Services that has been operating for 26 years. The property supports multiple tiers of care on a single campus, but its skilled nursing wing maintains a short-term rehabilitation focus, logging a brief 50-day average length of stay. Payment options are restricted to Medicare and private-pay accounts. Situated just half a mile from the city center, the gated property has a walkability score of 92 out of 100, which allows employees and visiting guests to handle everyday errands entirely on foot.
An extensive daily care schedule is backed by a solid lineup of campus amenities and an on-site nurse aide training program. Direct care records from the California Department of Public Health show that the nursing staff delivers an average of 5 hours and 11 minutes of hands-on care per resident each day, a staffing level that remains steady through the weekends. The gated campus features a swimming pool, a sports court, a landscaped barbecue area, chef-prepared meals, and covered parking.
On the regulatory side, public inspection logs from state agencies show that inspectors have occasionally cited the facility for minor deficiencies involving environmental upkeep, infection control, pharmacy tracking, and quality of care. The administration resolved each of these findings following the reviews, and the property carries zero critical or serious enforcement penalties.
Interested individuals researching comprehensive retirement communities or short-term physical therapy options can use these state regulatory filings to assess the property’s operational background. The public documents outline a spacious, highly walkable campus that provides exceptionally high daily nursing hours and extensive lifestyle amenities, balanced against standard regulatory fixes in basic care and maintenance charting.
Licensed since 2020, Pasadena Villa Senior Living is a 97-bed assisted living and memory care community at 1811 N. Raymond Avenue in Pasadena, California. Respite care is available. Operated by Pasadena Villa, Inc., under administrator Michael Murphy, the community serves residents in Los Angeles County.
The complaint record defines the inspection history. Since 2021, 146 complaints have been filed, 29.2 annually against a 2.8 California average, producing 154 complaint visits compared to a state average of 13. Total citations sit at 91 against California’s average of 10, with all citation activity driven by complaint investigations; citations per routine inspection run 0.5, 85 percent below state average. The latest inspection was May 2026.
Serving residents in San Gabriel Valley which is 1.4 miles from the city center, the facility is geared toward assisted living and memory care in Pasadena.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Pasadena, CA
What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in California?
Assisted living in California is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.
Does California Medicaid cover nursing home care?
Yes — California Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.
What is nursing home care?
Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.
How many nursing homes are listed on this page?
This page features 12 nursing homes in Pasadena, CA. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.
How do I choose the right nursing home in Pasadena, CA?
Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Pasadena, CA, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.
What should I look for when visiting nursing homes in Pasadena, CA?
Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
