Gold Medal Senior Living Gardens has recorded 11 state citations (4 serious, 7 minor) and 1 verified complaint since 2022 across 8 inspections. The most recent deficiency, identified in a May 2025 case management visit, found that the facility failed to submit required incident reports within the 7-day window for a resident who experienced 6 falls and a skin tear between February and March 2025. A June 2024 annual inspection cited disinfectants and cleaning solutions stored in the laundry room, accessible to 5 of the 6 residents. Separate complaint investigations in 2023 and 2025 examined allegations that staff were not providing adequate meals and that food supplies were insufficient; on both visits, inspectors found ample fresh produce and non-perishable food on hand and resident interviews raised no concerns, and both investigations were unsubstantiated. A 2025 complaint alleging a resident's call button had been removed was also investigated and found unsubstantiated.
Gold Medal Senior Living Gardens is a 6-bed care home in Claremont, at the eastern edge of Los Angeles County. Founded by Toni, a registered nurse with 15+ years of healthcare experience, and Eddie, who brings equal experience in business management.
The home emphasizes a family-centered environment with celebrations, activities, and home-cooked meals. Licensed since mid-2022, it's one of the newer entries in the Claremont senior care market.
Founded and run by a registered nurse
Toni, the co-owner, is an RN with over 15 years of healthcare experience. Having a nurse as an owner-operator means clinical expertise is part of daily oversight, not just available on-call. That's a meaningful quality advantage in a small home.
True owner-operated family business
Toni and Eddie run this together — nursing expertise paired with business management. Owner-operated homes tend to have more consistent quality because the people making decisions are the same people who see residents every day.
Claremont's small-town charm
Located in the tree-lined college town of Claremont, known for its walkable village, botanical garden, and quieter pace of life compared to central LA. For families wanting a peaceful setting away from urban density, the location is a genuine draw.
Only 3 years of operation
Licensed in July 2022, this is still a young facility. The owners bring healthcare and business experience, but the home itself doesn't have a long track record yet. Ask about resident retention and any adjustments they've made since opening.
Far eastern edge of LA County
Claremont is roughly 35 miles east of downtown LA. If family members live on the Westside or in the Valley, regular visits will require significant drive time. Factor in commute before committing.
