Wildfire updates: Front Porch Communities and Services

Front Porch is closely monitoring the wildfires in southern California and is prepared to respond as needed in swiftly changing conditions.

January 8, 2025

Villa Gardens, our Life Plan community in Pasadena, is located directly across from a fire department and is currently not required to evacuate. Staff are onsite to provide care and services to residents. This situation may change swiftly and we are prepared to respond as needed.

La Pintoresca, our CARING Housing Ministries community in Pasadena, is currently under an evacuation order. Staff are on site to ensure the safety of residents who are still on campus.

Currently, our Glendale office is open. Although we have advised team members that they do not need to report to the office today, we are offering it as a safe space for team members to rest and regroup. Senior leaders have reported and are available to provide support.

Our hearts go out to all who are affected by these events, and we offer our deepest gratitude to all who are supporting the greater community.

We will provide updates as more information becomes available.

Update: January 9, 2025

Villa Gardens has not needed to evacuate, although close to 100 residents have voluntarily relocated. This will make it easier to evacuate remaining residents, should we need to do so. We are incredibly grateful to the Villa Gardens team who continue to provide care and support to the community.

La Pintoresca, our affordable community in Pasadena, is completely evacuated and safe with only security monitoring left on site.

The Sunset Fire in the Hollywood Hills may present challenges at Kingsley Manor. We are closely monitoring that situation and are prepared with a response to any changes there.

In addition to providing operations support, the team at the Glendale Support Services office has been working with teammates and families who have been evacuated or lost their homes to find temporary housing. Front Porch is also establishing resources to assist team members and their families both near- and longer-term.

For those who need immediate resources and support, LeadingAge California has prepared a list of resources here.
