The Terraces at Park Marino sits at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains in Pasadena, CA, and houses up to 112 residents in private studios, one-bedroom apartments, and two-bedroom suites that folks can set up to feel like home, and people here can look out at the peaceful landscape or stroll along walking paths through the gardens when the mood strikes. The community's got assisted living, memory care for those with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, and short-term stays for caregivers who need a break, and the Safe Haven Day Program is there for seniors who need day-care support and want a change of scene. Compassionate staff keep close eyes on residents' health, and you'll find both caregivers and health professionals like the Executive Director, Director of Health Services, and residential caregivers making rounds, taking time to help with everyday needs like bathing, dressing, medication, and making sure folks eat right-even if someone's on a diabetes diet or needs gluten-free meals. The staff go through regular training, always learning new ways to help, and they believe in checking in often and listening so folks feel safe while keeping their dignity and independence.
There's a strong focus on mental wellness, with support for mild cognitive challenges and activities planned every day, including classes like Tai Chi, fitness programs, and off-campus trips that help people stay active and connected to others. Residents shape some of the activity calendar themselves, with choices in what's on offer, and there's a friendly atmosphere encouraged by both community and resident-run activities. There are concierge services, transportation to doctor visits and shopping, housekeeping, linen, and room service, as well as restaurant-style dining from chefs who make sure meals are nutritious and can match special diets. The building's wheelchair-friendly, offers 12-16 hours of daily nursing care, round-the-clock supervision, and a 24-hour call system for emergencies. The Terraces at Park Marino runs things so people get the help they need without feeling like they've lost their freedom, and folks get support for incontinence or high-acuity care if needed. Licensed under number 197602744, the facility pays attention to safety while making room for joy, with a social environment that helps people feel at ease and part of something good, whether they want to join an activity, take a quiet walk, or eat a meal with friends. The office might close from time to time, but the care inside aims to keep going, right through the day and night, so residents and families can feel at ease about daily life and what comes next.
