FIL-AM Home for Seniors III has accumulated 31 state citations (11 serious, 20 minor) and 5 verified complaints across 13 inspections since 2022. Investigators substantiated complaints that the facility kept its front exit locked so it could only be opened with a staff key and placed a separate lock on the kitchen door restricting resident access to food; both were cited as deficiencies. A 2022 complaint visit uncovered multiple expired food items and numerous expired medications stored on-site, including morphine, lorazepam, and Pedialyte. A 2024 follow-up inspection found the facility had not cleared 2 of 3 required plans of correction, including failure to document required liability insurance and evidence of quarterly fire drills. Investigators also conducted a multi-year investigation into a complaint that a resident sustained facial fractures while in care; staff denied facility responsibility and 6 residents were unable to corroborate the allegation. The most recent inspection was conducted in January 2026.
Fil-Am Home for Seniors III is a 6-bed residential care home in Claremont, one of eight licensed homes operated by the Fil-Am Home for Seniors organization, which has been in the senior care business since 2008. The home offers a warm, family-style setting with home-cooked meals, daily housekeeping, private and semi-private rooms, and assistance with all activities of daily living.
It participates in the Assisted Living Waiver program and coordinates hospice and end-of-life care.
Part of an experienced multi-home network
Fil-Am Home has operated since 2008 and runs eight licensed care homes. This gives them over 15 years of institutional knowledge, established caregiver training, and the ability to match residents with the right home — a level of sophistication rare among small-home operators.
Accepts Medi-Cal through the ALW program
Participates in the Assisted Living Waiver, which can significantly offset costs for eligible residents. For families navigating affordability, this is worth exploring.
Home-cooked meals in a family setting
The organization emphasizes home-cooked meals prepared on-site — not institutional food delivered in trays. In a 6-bed home, meals feel like family dinners, not a cafeteria.
Hospice and end-of-life care coordination
Fil-Am coordinates hospice and end-of-life care, meaning residents don't need to transfer to a different facility for their final stage of care. That continuity of environment and relationships matters deeply.
Below-average safety record
The FYI Safety Score™ is 3.4 out of 10 (Poor), based on state inspection data. This reflects a higher-than-typical number of citations and substantiated complaints. Ask management directly about their inspection history and what corrective actions they've taken.
Claremont is far from central LA
Located about 30 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, Claremont means a significant commute for family visits from most LA neighborhoods. Factor this into your decision if regular visits are important.
This is one of eight homes — ask which one fits best
Fil-Am operates multiple homes in the area. Each may differ in staff, resident mix, and atmosphere. Ask whether this specific location is the best fit, or if another Fil-Am home might be more appropriate for your loved one's needs.
