1 minor state citation and 1 verified complaint across 3 inspections since 2025, the year the facility underwent a change in ownership. The single verified complaint alleged that the facility failed to issue a timely refund to a resident's responsible party following the resident's death in April 2025. The admission agreement required a refund within 15 days of death; the administrator acknowledged the agreement had not been followed, and a refund was ultimately issued in late June 2025, more than 2 months after the resident's passing. The complaint was substantiated and resulted in the 1 minor citation. A pre-licensing inspection in April 2025 and an annual inspection in April 2026 both found the facility clean, safe, and in compliance across domains including infection control, staffing, medication administration, and disaster preparedness, with no deficiencies cited in either visit.
St. Jude's Home for the Elderly II is a 6-bed residential care facility in El Monte.
The facility's associated website belongs to The Gardens of El Monte, a 53-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation center, which is a different type of facility. Very limited information is available about the residential care home itself.
Families should visit the RCFE directly to understand the care model, environment, and services provided.
Small home setting for intimate care
With just 6 beds, this is a residential-scale care environment. Residents benefit from a home-like atmosphere where caregivers can provide focused, individualized attention.
El Monte location with freeway access
Conveniently located near the 210, 10, and 605 freeways, making it accessible for family visits from across the San Gabriel Valley and greater LA area.
Brand new facility with no track record
Licensed in April 2025, this is an extremely new operation with less than a year of history. There's no meaningful track record to evaluate. Ask about the operator's prior experience in senior care.
Very limited information available online
The associated website describes a skilled nursing facility, not this residential care home. You'll need to visit in person and ask detailed questions about staffing, meals, activities, and the daily care routine.
