Pilgrim Place is a 454-bed Continuing Care Retirement Community on a 32-acre campus in Claremont, originally founded in 1915 as a residence for missionaries and their families. It has evolved into a nationally respected model of purpose-driven senior living for people who have dedicated their lives to service, justice, and community.
The campus includes 185 private homes, 57 assisted living apartments, 12 memory care beds, and 62 skilled nursing beds — all connected by a full continuum of care. Pilgrim Place is explicitly inclusive of LGBTQ+ residents and emphasizes environmental sustainability, including a 50% water-use reduction, solar panels, and LEED-certified buildings.
Excellent safety record
The FYI Safety Score™ is 9.5 out of 10 (Excellent). For a community with 454 beds and multiple care levels, maintaining top-tier regulatory performance across that complexity is a strong indicator of operational discipline.
A community built on shared values, not just shared space
Residents are drawn by a commitment to justice, peace, and service. This creates a uniquely engaged population — people who advocate, volunteer, organize, and care about the world beyond the campus walls. It's intentional community in the truest sense.
Full continuum from private homes to skilled nursing
Independent living homes (600-1,800 sq ft), assisted living apartments, memory care, and a Five-Star Rated skilled nursing center — all on one campus with priority access for residents. Your loved one never has to leave the community as needs change.
Explicitly LGBTQ+ welcoming
Pilgrim Place has a demonstrated long-time history of welcoming and including LGBTQ+ singles and couples. For LGBTQ+ seniors who've faced discrimination in other settings, this isn't a vague inclusivity statement — it's backed by resident testimonials and organizational policy.
Walkable to Claremont Village and the Colleges
Walking distance to hiking trails, shopping, dining in Claremont Village, and the five Claremont Colleges with their free music, art, theater, and lectures. The MetroLink station provides transit to LA. Residents are connected to a real college-town community.
Claremont is far from central LA
Located at the eastern edge of LA County, Claremont is 35-50 miles from central LA. If family members live on the Westside or in South Bay, regular visits involve a significant commute, especially during rush hour.
454 beds on a 32-acre campus is substantial
The campus scale is more like a small college than a senior living building. Walking between residences, dining, and activities requires mobility. Assess whether the campus layout works for your loved one's physical capabilities.
CCRC model means a buy-in commitment
As a Continuing Care Retirement Community with a Type B Modified Contract, Pilgrim Place requires an entrance fee and ongoing monthly costs. This is a major financial commitment. Understand the contract terms, refund policies, and what happens if needs exceed expectations.
