About Con Carino

Con Carino is an Assisted Living community in the Pasadena area that also offers Board and Care Home. Estimated costs for this community start at $4,100/mo, which is lower than the cost of care in the Pasadena area of $6,250/mo.

Welcome to Con Carino, an intimate board and care home in Pasadena, CA. Con Carino is located at 1260 N. Sierra Bonita Ave, and offers assisted living to older adults.

We know that price is an important factor in choosing a board and care home, and Con Carino pricing starts at $4,942 per month, which is below $5,250, the estimated average monthly cost of board and care communities in Pasadena, CA.

As you evaluate pricing, keep in mind that residents can expect to receive a higher staff-to-resident ratio at a board and care home, compared to that of a larger assisted living community. Con Carino offers 24-hour non-medical care, medication management, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), including eating, bathing, grooming, and transferring from beds or chairs. Con Carino staff create a personalized care plan for each resident, and residents can take comfort in the routine of seeing the same friendly staff faces each week (unlike a larger facility where staff might rotate more often). The expert team at Con Carino will also arrange transportation for residents, and provide laundry and housekeeping services.

Con Carino strives to foster connection among residents by offering amenities and programming like creative arts classes, movie nights, shared mealtimes, and shopping trips. This kind of engagement is such an important part of a truly great senior living environment, and is a cornerstone of Seniorly’s mission.

For families navigating this important decision about a board and care home, connecting with Seniorly’s local advisor can be very helpful. This free service can support you and your family with everything from choosing the right type of care to touring memory care communities. Many advisors may even be able to help with coordinating moving services or connect you to a financial advisor. Simply fill out this form to learn more.

What families are saying

We’ve gathered and summarized real family reviews from across the internet for you. Contact a Seniorly representative for details.
Reviews of Estrella Estates are predominantly positive, describing a clean, attractive, welcoming retirement community with friendly staff and residents. Many reviewers say it feels like a family or home rather than an institution. Residents and families praise the management and sales staff for being compassionate, responsive, and accommodating, although several reviews report rude, inattentive, inexperienced, or frequently changing managers. Staff are generally viewed as caring, helpful, and attentive. Residents appreciate the range of amenities and activities, including bingo, cards, games, movies, theater, pool, exercise areas, library, chapel, salon, social events, outings, and transportation to shopping, banking, and medical appointments. The community offers three meals daily, snacks, and 24-hour beverages. Food is often described as good or excellent, but opinions vary considerably. Some reviewers criticize meals as bland, salty, carbohydrate-heavy, poorly prepared, or unsuitable for special diets. One reviewer alleged serious kitchen sanitation and food-handling problems. Apartments are considered attractive, comfortable, and well maintained, with kitchenettes, balconies, refrigerators, microwaves, and pleasant views. However, studios and some guest rooms are described as extremely small, with limited storage, no in-unit laundry, and shared laundry facilities. The building is usually called clean, bright, elegant, and well decorated, though one review alleged black mold and others described the facility as older or outdated. Estrella is best suited to independent seniors needing limited additional support. On-site home health services are available for extra fees, but it is not full assisted living or memory care, lacks 24-hour nursing, and transportation may not accommodate wheelchair users. Overall, reviewers value the community, affordability, location, activities, and supportive atmosphere, while cautioning prospective residents to investigate management, food quality, apartment size, care limitations, and sanitation personally.
