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 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.
