A 55+ Community with a Range of Senior Living Options


MorningStar of Pasadena is a 55+ community offering high-quality independent living and assisted living. Additionally we are pleased to offer respite care (short recuperative stays), or trial stays, which are a great way to sample our community and see if we are a good fit. They can extend from a week to a full month depending on availability. 

Respite or temporary care is a great option for seniors who are newly discharged from a hospital stay and recovering from surgery or an illness that still requires some day-to-day support services. MorningStar of Pasadena’s community expertly and compassionately provides just such care including bathing, dressing, and other personal tasks. We also provide recuperating seniors tasty, nutritional meals prepared under the direction of our Executive Chef, 24-hour care, medication management, and opportunities for socialization and meaningful activities.   

MorningStar of Pasadena’s respite residents are provided a quiet suite and the individualized care needed to comfortably recover their health. Another common use of respite care is to give caregivers a much needed break or when they are busy with other priorities. During your stay, you will have peace of mind knowing help is available 24/7 and that each suite offers safety features such as emergency call systems and handicap-accessible bathrooms. We also offer companionship and community, which we think is just as important to the healing process. MorningStar’s short-term stays are typically 30 days or less and your spouse is welcome to join you; but please contact us to inquire about availability. 


Community amenities include: all-day, restaurant-style dining; a private dining room; bistro; theatre/chapel; life enrichment room, club rooms, fitness center, wired Internet in each suite; concierge services, community store, scheduled transportation and more. We encourage you to visit our website for contact information to learn more about our respite care, trial stays as well as availability and pricing for the area’s finest independent living and assisted living in Pasadena, CA. We look forward to hearing from you.

Memory Care Communities Provide a Safe, Welcoming Home

If a loved one suffers from Alzheimer’s or another dementia-related disease, at some point, you may require professional help. The number one concern at a memory care community is to ensure the safety of the person as many of the disease’s symptoms place the person more at risk for accidents and other mishaps.

When you have the luxury of time, it is easy to get prepared with the necessary information a parent needs when admitted to the hospital. It can be a different story if the trip is sudden. Medical experts say to ensure a loved one gets the proper care, it is important to see to it that the hospital has a complete medical history. Notes and documents can be completed and gathered now then updated as health changes occur.
