Welcome to
The Oaks of Pasadena!
“Not just to live, but to enjoy living.”
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 independent senior living in Pasadena. The Oaks features 86 well-equipped, spacious apartments ranging from studio to one- and two-bedroom units. We also have a separate 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.

August at The Oaks of Pasadena!
There’s never a dull moment at The Oaks of Pasadena, and August is filled with opportunities for residents to stay active, engaged, and connected.
This month’s calendar features a wonderful variety of fitness classes, games, outings, educational programs, live music, and special events. Residents can enjoy everything from Chair Tai Chi, Yoga, Water Aerobics, Bridge, Scrabble, Bingo, and Line Dancing to Lunch Bunch outings, Paint ‘N Sip, movie matinees, book club discussions, and our festive Luau Dinner Show.
We’re also looking forward to celebrating our August birthdays, enjoying performances by our talented pianists, and continuing our popular weekly activities that bring neighbors together throughout the month.
At The Oaks, every day offers something new to learn, enjoy, or experience with friends.
Interested in learning more? We’d love to show you around our beautiful 27-acre campus and treat you to lunch while you visit!
