44 state citations and 18 verified complaints since 2022 across 66 inspections. In November 2025, a resident fell and activated their call pendant; investigators confirmed via call light records that staff left the resident on the floor for between 9 and 24 minutes, with investigators noting both durations were unreasonable. During a November 2024 illness outbreak, state public health investigators substantiated that staff failed to change gloves between residents and did not follow proper hand hygiene protocols. In 2023, a complaint investigated an allegation that a male resident inappropriately touched a female resident in an elevator; the facility reported the incident to police, who reviewed surveillance footage as part of the response. A separate inspector-found violation in 2023 cited the facility for not following required eviction procedures. Of the 44 total citations, 15 are serious and 29 are minor, spanning the full period from 2022 through the most recent inspection in March 2026.
Astoria Park is a 220-bed senior living community in Pasadena with a legacy stretching back over 50 years, making it one of the longest-serving facilities in the area. It offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and short-term stays all on a single campus, and positions itself as a privately-owned operation where leadership is directly involved.
The location near Old Town Pasadena puts residents close to restaurants, the Norton Simon Museum, and cultural amenities. It accepts Medi-Cal through the ALW program.
Over 50 years serving Pasadena seniors
Half a century of continuous operation is genuinely rare. That kind of longevity speaks to sustained community trust and operational stability. Ask about long-tenured staff members and how many residents have been there for years.
Full continuum of care from independence to memory care
Independent living, assisted living, memory care, and short-term stays are all available. Residents can age in place without the disruption of moving to a new community as needs change.
Bilingual staff is a real asset
Multiple reviews mention Spanish-speaking staff. For families whose loved ones are more comfortable in Spanish, this can make a meaningful difference in daily comfort and communication.
Accepts Medi-Cal through the ALW program
Participates in the Assisted Living Waiver, which can significantly offset costs for eligible residents. Worth investigating if you're navigating affordability.
Below-average safety record
The FYI Safety Score™ is 0.0 out of 10 (Poor), based on state inspection data. This reflects a significantly higher-than-typical number of citations and substantiated complaints. Ask management about their inspection history and remediation steps.
220 beds means big-campus dynamics
This is one of the larger communities in the Pasadena area. Shared dining, hallways, and common areas will be busy. If your loved one prefers a quiet, intimate environment, this scale may feel overwhelming.
Only 3 years under the current license
Despite the 50-year legacy claim, the current RCFE license dates to 2022. This could mean a change in ownership or operational structure. Ask what changed and whether key staff carried over.
