“The beautiful foothill location in the San Gabriel Mountains, and excellent Nursing, Activities, Dining, Maintenance and Gardening teams make Royal Oaks’ Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing options an excellent choice for anyone looking for retirement care. They are head and shoulders above the competition.”
“This is a very good place if you have to leave your home. Residents and staff are super friendly; staff listens and is responsive. We especially enjoy having our own cabin rather than living multi-story, apartment style. We only came in October, 2023, but we don't expect to ever need to leave Westminster Gardens.”

About these figures
Computed on October 23, 2026 from the 12 communities listed in Duarte, 153 public family reviews on Google, Yelp and MyLivingChoice, state licensing records and, for nursing homes, CMS Care Compare. The best-rated list ranks communities by average family rating weighted by how many families have reviewed each one, so a 4.9 from three reviews does not outrank a 4.7 from two hundred. No community pays to appear in the best-rated list or in these figures; sponsored and partner listings in the directory results are marked as such. Figures refresh as listings and reviews change.
