This is the second time that my friend has been admitted here in the past few years. Both experiences have been great! The staff is so kind and always willing to help.

The Califorian has been a second home for our family. My aunt has been a patient for a bit of time and over all she feels at home. We visit almost everyday and the majority of the staff are pleasant and helpful. The place is clean and they maintain it very well. The medical staff listens and pays attention to the needs and or questions of the family. The physical therapy team is great. They truly work with patients to get them back to where they can be. Administration is attentive, follows through on questions and concerns of the patient and family. Thank you Califorian for all that you do.

The Californian Pasadena Healthcare deserves its very high ratings. Its nurses, rehabilitation therapists, rooms and food are all the best. They really focus on needs of each individual patient. My wife was there to recover from a stroke, and they have worked miracles with her.

Enjoyed a lunch with a friend on the patio… we had excellent food and service. As a past resident it was wonderful to see the staff members and be greeted warmly when I came for my visit. The Californian offers wonderful care to all its residents and I would recommend it highly for a short term stay such as mine or longer term care if that is what a client requires. The well trained staff can handle any needs that one might have. The food service is also excellent with a creative menu that is served in the rooms or in a group setting. The Californian does not disappoint and is an excellent choice for clients needing short term rehabilitation care or longer term care.
