Independent Living

 The Oaks is Pasadena’s truly distinctive independent living choice for older adults.

 

Assisted Living

The Retreat offers assisted living in a cozy, homelike setting. 

Pasadena is nestled below the majestic San Gabriel Mountains and enjoys an average of 300 sunny days a year. Famously known for the Rose Bowl and Rose Parade, the city's calendar is full of concerts, sporting events, festivals, theatre and art. The Oaks of Pasadena is proud to have been part of our community since 1981.

Welcome to

The Oaks of Pasadena!

The Oaks of Pasadena opened its doors in 1981.  Since then, we have provided unsurpassed service and amenities for adults age 55 and older who enjoy an independent lifestyle, living in their own apartment.  We also have a small assisted living home called The Retreat.  Both facilities are located on our beautiful 27-acre property that includes an arboretum, gardens, swimming pool and paved walking paths.

Happy New Year! As we enter our 45th year of serving the Pasadena senior community, we invite you to experience the warmth and energy that make our campus so special.

We believe the best way to understand our lifestyle is to experience it firsthand. That is why we are opening our doors and inviting potential residents to join us for any of our scheduled activities this January. Whether you are interested in a fitness class, a creative workshop, or a social outing, you are always welcome at The Oaks.
