14 state citations (7 serious, 7 minor) and 6 verified complaints since 2020 across 42 inspections. The most significant recent finding involves a July 2025 medication error in which a staff member administered a blood pressure medication to a resident for whom it was not prescribed; the resident developed hypotension and required hospital transport. Following the incident, the staff member was removed from medication duties and the facility updated its administration process to add resident photos, names, and room numbers on medication cups. A separate complaint from 2025 was also substantiated, confirmed by a follow-up inspection in October 2025. In 2023, inspectors observed rodent droppings throughout the kitchen, storage room, and near the reception desk, and found that the facility's pest management contractor was not treating for rodents at that time. A citation was also issued in late 2025 for failure to ensure appropriate communications with a resident's responsible party.
Evergreen Retirement is a 99-bed independent and assisted living community in Burbank that has been serving seniors for over 35 years. The facility offers personalized care plans, an in-house chef, and a philosophy built around familiarity and continuity — residents see the same faces daily and have regular dining companions.
Located in the media capital of LA, Burbank offers convenient access to shopping, dining, and major medical centers.
35+ years of continuous operation in Burbank
Few senior living communities in LA can claim over three decades of service. That longevity means established routines, institutional knowledge, and a reputation that's been tested by time. Ask about long-tenured staff members — they're often the best indicator of a well-run facility.
In-house chef with personalized dietary management
Meals are prepared by an in-house chef with menus tailored to individual health needs and seasonal fare. This is a meaningful step above the standard institutional dining experience.
Both independent and assisted living under one roof
Residents can start in independent living and transition to assisted living as needs change, without the disruption of moving to a new community. That continuity of place and relationships is valuable.

Below-average safety record
The FYI Safety Score™ is 5.5 out of 10 (Below Average), based on state inspection data. With 67 total allegations and 6 substantiated complaints over the review period, families should ask management directly about their inspection history and what corrective actions have been taken.
99 beds is a mid-large operation
At this size, the community is big enough to feel institutional but not so large that it has resort-level amenities. If your loved one prefers a smaller, more intimate setting, this won't be the right fit.
Website and branding feel dated
The website explicitly warns visitors about outdated browsers, and the overall digital presence suggests the facility hasn't modernized its marketing. That doesn't necessarily reflect care quality, but it's worth noting that the facility may feel older in person too.
