Bentits Retirement Villa operates as San Dimas Retirement, a 6-bed care home nestled at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains. The facility offers both assisted living and a dedicated memory care program for residents with Alzheimer's and related dementia, with 24/7 nursing staff.
Its three-acre complex includes private and semi-private rooms, garden patios, a library, recreation rooms, and an on-site beauty shop. Licensed since 2019 with 6 years of operating history.
Dedicated Alzheimer's and dementia care
The South Garden location provides an alternative to nursing home placement specifically for seniors with Alzheimer's and related dementia, with 24/7 nursing and support services. This is a purposeful specialization, not an afterthought add-on.
Three-acre complex with extensive outdoor spaces
Garden patios, balconies, and outdoor spaces across a three-acre property — this is unusually expansive for a small care home. The mountain backdrop and suburban San Dimas setting provide a genuinely peaceful environment.
Full amenity suite for a small operation
On-site beauty and barber shop, library, recreation rooms, individual climate control, cable and phone ready rooms, and underground parking. These are amenities you'd expect from a much larger community.
Scenic San Gabriel Mountains location
Located just west of the 57 freeway in San Dimas, with mountain views and easy access to both LA and the Inland Empire. The setting offers suburban tranquility while remaining connected to urban conveniences.
Below-average safety record
12 serious and 23 minor citations across 6 state inspections. Worth asking directly about recent findings and how they've been addressed before deciding.
San Dimas is in the far eastern San Gabriel Valley
Located roughly 30 miles east of downtown LA, San Dimas requires a meaningful commute from most parts of the metro area. The trade-off is a more peaceful, spacious setting than you'll find closer to the city center.
