FYI Safety Score

7.9 Fair

8 state citations (4 serious, 4 minor) and 0 verified complaints across 11 inspections since 2021. The most significant violations stem from an April 2022 inspection in which 3 staff members were found working without required criminal record clearances, including 1 individual who had been employed since December 2021 without a California clearance or criminal record exemption. A follow-up inspection in May 2022 confirmed the facility completed its corrective plan. The 2 complaint investigations, in June 2021 and April 2022, covered allegations of inadequate nighttime care and infrequent bathing; both were found unsubstantiated after interviews with residents and staff. The most recent inspection activity, in December 2025, involved a serious administrative compliance matter: the facility had not paid annual licensing fees since July 2023, had a non-working phone number on file, and was assessed a civil penalty of $100 per day for failing to submit a required plan of correction. A May 2025 annual inspection also noted 2 bedridden residents present when only 1 is approved under the facility's license, resulting in an immediate civil penalty.


Why we like it

St Matthews Home for the Elderly operates as La Verne Manor, a 6-bed assisted living home in the quiet city of La Verne in the San Gabriel Valley. The facility offers both private and shared rooms, 24-hour caregiver supervision, and coordinates with an impressive range of in-house healthcare services including medical, psychiatric, dental, and podiatric visits.

It explicitly does not accept residents with dementia or Alzheimer's, which is an unusually direct admission that helps families find the right fit.

  • In-house doctor visits across multiple specialties

    Medical, psychiatric, dental, and podiatric doctors visit the facility directly — and they work with Medicare/MediCal. This saves residents and families the logistical burden of transporting elderly loved ones to multiple appointments.

  • On-site therapy services through home health

    Physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy are available through home health services. Rehab access without leaving the facility is a major convenience, especially for residents recovering from falls or surgery.

  • 8 years of stable operation

    Licensed since 2017, La Verne Manor has built a solid track record. Ask about staff tenure and how many of the current team have been there since the early years.

  • Honest about who they serve

    The facility clearly states it supervises persons with light cognitive disabilities but does not accept residents with dementia or Alzheimer's. This kind of transparency is refreshing — it means they know their limits and won't overcommit.

  • No dementia or Alzheimer's care

    They explicitly exclude residents with dementia and Alzheimer's. If your loved one has or may develop cognitive decline, this is not the right facility and you'll need to plan for a future move if symptoms emerge.

  • La Verne is a drive from central LA

    Located about 30 miles east of downtown, La Verne is a suburban foothill community. The quiet setting is an advantage for residents, but the distance means longer commutes for family visitors coming from the LA basin.
