Every aspect of my visit was the best, except that I waited 1 3/4 hours to get to see the doctor.

If your mom or dad is living here or in any other assisted living facility, please keep communicating with your parents to make sure everything is fine. Some elderly people are just afraid to tell their families regarding the treatment they receive or the bad attitude shown by the staff. For example, one staff at Taylor Memory Care of Mt San Antonio Gardens named Michelle, she always yells and or shows impatience towards the elderly people living here and the elderly people seem to be under heavy stress everytime she's around but whenever a family member is visiting, she is always nice to these elderly people. Why in the world she keeps working here if she doesn't have what it takes to care for the elderly people.

I should have hit the five star rating. I have lived here for just over 2 years. The grounds, the staff, and the services are great but the best part are the people. Living here is truly to be being of part of a diverse, inquisitive, and compassionate community. Check us out.

Paradise Lost: A Prestigious Retirement Community's Fall from Grace When you've spent your life savings on a peaceful retirement, the last thing you want to hear is that your community might be going under. But that's exactly what my friends who live at Mt San Antonio Gardens are facing – and the story of how they got here reads like a masterclass in how not to run a retirement facility. First came the 2022 $1.7 million class action lawsuit wage theft settlement, a blow that would make any auditor wince. Next a 2022 Medicare hefty fine for the serious injury of a 90 year old resident in their nursing facility. Recently they failed to heed the warnings from their IT Director about a vulnerability in their website and were cyber hacked for $500k. But then in 2024, the community's leadership misinterpreted California's Senate Bill 525, a new healthcare worker minimum wage law, in spectacular fashion. They thought they had to comply. They didn't. Here's where things went wrong: Mt San Antonio Gardens isn't even covered by SB 525. The law, as clearly written, only applies to healthcare facilities affiliated with acute care providers or controlled by hospital networks– and Mt San Antonio Gardens is neither. But that didn't stop them from hiking monthly fees from $4,098 to $4,501 – a jaw-dropping 10% increase that they blamed on "SB 525 compliance." A multi-million dollar error that will live on in perpetuity. Now, in a quietly released statement that feels like whispering bad news during a thunderstorm, the Board of Directors has admitted the community might not survive as a standalone non-profit. Most residents do not know about this yet - they follow what leadership tells them without question. and do not read written material. For other residents, this news lands somewhere between concerning and terrifying. Their options? They could be bought out by Episcopal Communities & Services – the only California non-profit currently in the acquisition game. But that's the same organization that runs the MonteCedro Community in Altadena, where just last month, firefighters had to rescue two elderly women left behind by staff during the Eaton wildfire evacuations. Scary. The alternative might be worse: a for-profit takeover. With 32 acres of prime real estate in the cities of Claremont and Pomona suddenly subject to property taxes, residents' monthly fees would soar even higher than that mistaken SB 525 increase. For the seniors who chose Mt San Antonio Gardens as their forever home, watching their community's financial stability crumble is like seeing storm clouds gather over their sunset years. They've got access to the reports and statements, sure – but what they really need, and don't have, is clarity about their future. The State of California only requires 60-days notice to residents when their community is sold. The harsh reality? What started as a simple legal misinterpretation has snowballed into an existential crisis for one of California's most established retirement communities. And for its residents, the financial forecast isn't just shaky – it's looking like a 10.0 earthquake is coming.
