What Montecedro has on record

Nothing on record yet.

Not listed doesn’t mean not offered. It means there’s no record, so ask.

Also listed on their website

  • Alzheimer's care
  • mild memory loss care
  • cognitive decline assistance
  • short-term recovery care
  • long-term care

Being on record means the state or Montecedro lists it. It doesn’t mean they’ve accepted your senior or have a room.

Cost Where this comes fromPrices and rooms come from the community’s own website, dated when we saw them. The typical range uses communities nearby that publish prices.

What’s included, and common cost questions
  • What does the monthly price include? Usually rent, three meals, housekeeping and activities. Care is often priced separately by level of help.
  • Do prices go up? Most communities raise prices once a year. Ask how much the last increase was and how much notice they give.
  • Can Medi-Cal pay? Some assisted living communities take the Assisted Living Waiver. Ask Montecedro whether they do and if there’s a waiting list.

These are prices Montecedro published, seen 31 Jul 2026. They aren’t quotes.

Rating & safety How to read thisThese are the state’s own categories. Type A: problems that, if not corrected, put residents’ health, safety or rights at direct and immediate risk. Type B: problems that could become a risk without correction, or record-keeping problems that affect care. Both must be corrected. Complaints the state didn’t confirm are shown but never counted against the community.

    Comment from “happysocal” - “Entrance fees for this place are around a half mil and up.” - LA Times Deliberate harassment of vulnerable seniors and their community (which they call “home”) is not welcome! Statements that reflect financial status of these residents is completely unacceptable and causing unnecessary controversy especially when surrounding real estate is equally priced. It’s…

    In spite of the fawning comments left by the owners of this facility, the FACT remains that they conducted an emergency evacuation and failed to evacuate ALL residents. I intend to find out which corporate entity owns MonteCedro so I may assure none of my loved ones are EVER entrusted to their care.

    I am a current resident of MonteCedro. I have lived there since 2019. The Eaton Fire was a massive tragedy for Altadena. In reading the one-star reviews from people who don’t live at MC but feel compelled to comment, outrage comes through but nothing else. The facts are that our staff is A+ without exception. The evacuation notice for our area of Altadena was issued hours after the area one block…

    Don’t bring anybody near this place. Hopefully they shut down. They left a 100 year old lady by herself while they evacuated for the fires. Every single worker should be fined, fired, and never hired anywhere that involves caretaking. If I could give 0 stars, I would.

    This place deserves to be shut down after leaving people in the building even after evacuation during the fires. In which there should have been a count of everyone and why is there no list of every patient and staff member and somehow we left people there that could have died in an awful accident.
