Senior Living for Pasadena Families
Pasadena families willing to look east often discover that a small RCFE in Loma Linda fits their parent's personality better than the larger Pasadena and Arcadia communities they've toured.
Ivory Crest Care is a licensed Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE) — the California license that covers non-medical assisted living. We serve six residents at a time. That number is the whole point: every resident is known by name, every meal is cooked in our kitchen, and someone is awake every hour of the night.
Families across Los Angeles County — and the wider Southern California region — choose us when the larger 60- to 100-bed communities feel like the wrong fit for their parent. If you've already toured a few of those and walked away unsure, we'd encourage you to come see what six residents and a real home feels like.
