I really love living here. The meals, so far, have been good. Today my apartment was cleaned( once a week cleaned and they wash the sheets and towels and they make the bed). I like the full kitchen, even though I don't plan to cook and the large patio and the gas fireplace. Everyone is friendly. And great storage and closets. I would recommend this facility to others.

A Great Place for Loved Ones

The Oaks of Pasadena is a beautiful campus. The staff are the best and this is what separates them from other independent livings. The food at the restaurant is phenomenal with great variety of food. The monthly buffets are a great treat. Their are many events for the residents to enjoy.
