Pasadena Highlands

Nice accommodations (the apartment is very nice and spacious). Friendly staff. Wonderfully kept grounds. Food has been good enough to keep her from wanting to cook herself.

Pasadena Highlands would be a great place for transitional housing for me but not what I sm looking for in permanent housing. The units were small and lacked a full kitchen.
