12 state citations and 1 verified complaint have been recorded since 2022 across 10 inspections, with 8 of those citations classified as serious. The 1 verified complaint, confirmed by state investigators in late 2025, found that staff did not prevent a resident from developing multiple pressure injuries while in care. A case management visit in April 2025 noted a deficiency after the facility requested a resident be transferred to a higher level of care without a physician's assessment on file documenting that need. Annual inspections cited additional violations including cleaning supplies left unlocked and accessible during an unannounced 2023 visit and a non-functioning carbon monoxide detector observed during the September 2025 annual inspection. 5 other complaints were investigated and found unsubstantiated, including allegations related to dental hygiene assistance and bathing frequency.
Grant Serenity of Del Mar is a 6-bed residential care home in Pasadena, part of the Grant Serenity Homes group based in Glendale. The facility offers a wide range of care including Alzheimer's and dementia specialization, hospice support, respite stays, and standard assisted living.
Notable for its staffing model — one caregiver for every three residents during the day, plus fully awake night-shift aides — it also provides an on-staff licensed nurse, concierge physician house calls, and ceiling-mounted lifts for safe transfers.
Exceptional staffing ratios for a small home
One caregiver for every three residents during the day, plus fully awake night-shift aides. That's a 1:3 ratio in a 6-bed home — significantly better than most facilities of any size. This means your loved one actually gets attention, not just supervision.
Licensed nurse on staff plus concierge physician visits
Having an on-staff licensed nurse is uncommon in 6-bed homes. Add in concierge geriatric house-call physicians and psychologists, and you have medical oversight that rivals much larger facilities without the institutional feel.
Alzheimer's and memory care specialization
Staff is specifically trained in dementia care with a focus on compassion, trust, and adapting to individual needs. Active engagement through memory games, physical exercise, music, movies, and art — designed to build relationships and maintain cognitive function.
Respite and short-term stays available
If you need temporary care after surgery, during illness, or simply as a trial run, the facility offers stays from one week to several months. It's a low-commitment way to evaluate whether this home is the right fit.
Below-average safety record
The FYI Safety Score™ is 6.3 out of 10 (Below Average), based on state inspection data. With 8 Type A citations for a 6-bed home, families should ask specifically about what was cited and how the facility has responded.
Only 3 years of operation
Licensed in November 2022, this is a young facility. While the Grant Serenity group operates other homes, this specific Pasadena location is still establishing itself. Ask about staff turnover and resident satisfaction since opening.
