13 state citations (6 serious, 7 minor) and 0 verified complaints across 10 inspections since 2022. The most significant findings came early in the facility's record: a 2022 annual inspection cited unlocked cleaning supplies, unsecured medications, and a non-ambulatory resident housed on the second floor in violation of licensing conditions, with civil penalties issued after the medication cabinet remained unlocked at a follow-up visit. A January 2024 case management visit found the facility had failed to report a resident's fall, hospitalization, and death to state regulators, resulting in a serious citation. A November 2023 inspection cited accessible bug spray and staff medication left on a dining table, along with missing emergency drill records and an outdated disaster plan, all of which were corrected at a February 2024 follow-up. 13 complaints were filed over this period; all were investigated and found unsubstantiated. The 2 most recent inspections, in November 2025, noted no deficiencies.
Pasadena Mansion (operating as Pasadena Villa Senior Living) is a 6-bed assisted living community on North Raymond Avenue in Pasadena. Licensed since 2004, the facility offers 24-hour staff, three daily meals with optional cuisine choices, scheduled transportation, and a robust activities calendar including fitness classes, arts and crafts, gardening, movie nights, and planned social outings.
The location is close to Pasadena's Dial-A-Ride transit and neighborhood amenities.
Detailed, varied activities program
Daily fitness classes, walking paths, arts and crafts, movie nights, game nights, gardening, holiday celebrations, social outings, music, live entertainment, and religious services. For a 6-bed home, this level of programming diversity is exceptional.
Strong resident reviews
Residents praise the helpfulness and friendliness of staff, facility cleanliness, meal quality, and the convenient Pasadena location with easy access to Dial-A-Ride transit. Reviews from actual residents (not just family members) are a valuable quality signal.
21 years of continuous operation
Licensed since 2004, Pasadena Villa has been serving seniors in the same Pasadena neighborhood for over two decades. That kind of track record in a 6-bed home reflects stable, committed ownership.
Central Pasadena with transit access
Located near Dial-A-Ride service and close to Pasadena's amenities. Residents who value some independence can access nearby destinations affordably, which matters for maintaining autonomy and social connections.
Higher-than-typical allegation volume
While no allegations have been substantiated, 13 total allegations over the review period is above average for a 6-bed home. Ask management about the nature of these complaints and how they were resolved.
Small home limits social options
With six beds, the resident community is inherently small. If your loved one craves a larger social circle or varied dining companions, a bigger community may be a better fit.
