Why we like it

Brethren Hillcrest Homes is a 574-bed continuing care retirement community on a 50-acre campus in La Verne, at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains. With 49 years of operation — licensed since 1976 — it is one of the longest-running senior living communities in LA County.

The campus offers independent living, residential living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing, with over 300 homes and a full slate of amenities including wellness programs, educational enrichment, and multiple dining options.

  • Nearly 50 years of continuous operation

    Licensed since 1976, Hillcrest has been serving seniors for almost half a century. That longevity in the senior living industry is exceptional and reflects deep institutional stability. Ask about long-tenured staff and multi-decade residents.

  • 50-acre campus with full continuum of care

    Independent living, residential living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing — all on a 50-acre landscaped campus. This is one of the largest and most comprehensive senior living campuses in LA County. Residents never have to leave.

  • True community scale with small-town charm

    La Verne itself has a small-town feel despite being in LA County. The campus has over 300 homes and an active resident community. Multiple residents have lived here for decades — that kind of satisfaction speaks louder than any marketing.

  • Values-driven, inclusive organization

    Hillcrest explicitly welcomes residents regardless of race, ethnic identity, faith tradition, gender, sexual orientation, or political beliefs. The stated mission of integrity, respect, service, and stewardship appears to be lived, not just printed.

  • 574 beds is a very large community

    At this scale, Hillcrest operates more like a small village than a home. The size can be a benefit (more amenities, more social options) or a drawback (less intimacy, more bureaucracy). Visit to see which experience resonates.

  • La Verne is far from central LA

    Located in the eastern San Gabriel Valley foothills, La Verne is 30-40 miles from most of LA. Beautiful setting, but factor in the commute if you plan to visit frequently from the Westside or South Bay.

  • Likely requires advance financial planning

    Continuing care retirement communities of this caliber often have entrance fees or require financial qualification. Contact the community early to understand the full cost structure and any waitlist timelines.
