I have been a resident for only six months. What I have come to most value about The Oaks is the diversity of the community, the peace and beauty of the campus, the kindness and competency of the staff, and the flexible approach of the administration in handling issues raised by residents and in planning and executing change.

Steve gave a great tour of The Oaks. I was looking for a place for my mother. The grounds are beautiful and it's located in a quiet residential area. The rooms are quite big and inviting. It's a good place if you are looking for independent living.

I just moved my dad to the Oaks from Las Vegas. This is such a beautiful place, with kind and caring staff. My dad is enjoying it, and I’m so thankful I found this place. I would highly recommend The Oaks!

The Oaks has got to be one of Pasadena's best kept secrets! You could live in this city for decades & never really know it's here, but this place is a wonderful retirement community! Snuggled between the park-like grounds of Las Encinas & the cheery larger retirement community of Monte Vista Grove, The Oaks boasts two large apartment buildings, a gorgeous, traditional dining room, swimming pool & jacuzzi surrounded by well-grown trees, and also a supplemental Assisted Living facility. The apartments are amazingly spacious and each one includes either a kitchen or "kitchenette" and a decent-sized covered patio or balcony. The food has always been a highlight for me when I visit here - they have a fabulous chef who really pulls out all the stops!
