FYI Safety Score

6.6 Fair

6 state citations and 0 verified complaints since 2021 across 10 inspections. During an April 2023 annual inspection, hot water temperatures in bathrooms and the kitchen sink measured 121 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit, above the required maximum of 120 degrees; a follow-up visit later that month found no deficiencies. A case management visit in April 2025 found cleaning supplies accessible to residents in an unlocked supply closet and under a bathroom sink, and bed rails in 2 resident rooms without required documentation on file. A maintenance citation issued during the April 2025 annual inspection was dismissed on appeal in June 2025 and downgraded to a technical notice. The most recent annual inspection, conducted in March 2026, found no deficiencies, with the facility operating within its licensed capacity of 6 residents.


Why we like it

St. Jude's Elder Care III is a 6-bed care home in San Dimas, part of the St.

Jude's Homes network that provides residential senior care with a focus on dignity and respect. The home offers around-the-clock care, specialized dementia and Alzheimer's care, medication monitoring and dispensing, and nutritional dietary management.

Licensed since 2013, the home is personally run by the licensee rather than delegated to hired managers.

  • Owner-operated, not absentee management

    The website emphasizes that homes are personally run by the licensee. In a 6-bed setting, having the owner involved in daily operations means accountability isn't delegated through layers of management.

  • Specialized Alzheimer's and dementia care

    Dementia care is listed as a core service alongside assisted living, not an afterthought. If your loved one has cognitive decline, this home is set up to handle it from day one.

  • 12 years of stable operation

    Licensed since 2013, St. Jude's has over a decade of continuous operation. Consistent ownership and a clean safety record (8.5 score) suggest reliable, steady care.

  • Very limited online information

    The website is minimal — a single page with broad service descriptions. There's no detail about daily routines, staffing specifics, activity programming, or the physical environment. You'll need to visit and ask questions.

  • Part of a multi-home operation

    St. Jude's Homes operates more than one location. Verify which specific home you're evaluating and visit that exact address. Each 6-bed home can have a very different feel depending on the staff and residents.
