Why we like it

Meridian Manor is a 6-bed assisted living home in South Pasadena — the first and only licensed residential care facility in the city. It is the sister home to Pasadena Mansion and has been operating since 1999, giving it over 26 years of continuous history.

The home maintains a 1:2 caregiver-to-resident ratio and works with specialized geriatric healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, dieticians, dentists, and physical therapists.

  • 26 years of continuous operation

    Licensed since 1999, Meridian Manor is one of the longest-running small care homes in the area. That kind of longevity in a 6-bed home indicates stable management and a sustainable care model.

  • Exceptional caregiver-to-resident ratio

    One caregiver for every two residents means each person gets significant individual attention throughout the day. In a 6-bed home, that's three caregivers on duty — a level of coverage that's hard to find elsewhere.

  • South Pasadena's only residential care facility

    If South Pasadena is where your family is, this is the only option that keeps your loved one in the same city. South Pasadena is a walkable, charming community with local shops and a strong neighborhood feel.

  • Access to specialized geriatric professionals

    The home has established relationships with physicians, nurses, dieticians, dentists, and physical therapists who specialize in geriatric care. This coordinated medical network goes well beyond what most 6-bed homes provide.

  • Below-average safety record

    The FYI Safety Score™ is 6.1 out of 10 (Below Average), based on state inspection data. With 10 Type A citations and 11 Type B citations over the review period, this warrants a direct conversation with management about what was cited and how issues were resolved.

  • Minimal web presence

    The Meridian Manor page is brief and doesn't detail daily programming, activities, or what the physical space looks like. You'll need to visit in person and ask detailed questions to get a real sense of daily life here.
