Why we like it

Twelve Oaks is a 63-bed senior living community in La Crescenta with 39 years of history, currently undergoing a major transition. Affiliated with Episcopal Communities & Services for Seniors (ECS) since 2021, the community is planning a complete redevelopment that will replace its 14 existing buildings with a single Craftsman-style structure tripling capacity to 120 beds.

The current facility is temporarily closing in February 2025 for construction, with a projected 24-month build timeline.

  • Excellent safety record

    The FYI Safety Score™ is 9.8 out of 10 (Excellent), based on state inspection data. Even as the facility has been preparing for its transition, it has maintained outstanding compliance standards.

  • 39 years of community presence in La Crescenta

    Licensed since 1986, Twelve Oaks has deep roots in the La Crescenta-Montrose area. The name and the oak trees on the property are part of the community's identity — and the redevelopment plan preserves the vast majority of those trees.

  • Backed by a nonprofit with a mission

    ECS is a nonprofit organization that has invested in Twelve Oaks' sustainability since affiliating in 2021. Nonprofit backing means revenue is reinvested in care and infrastructure rather than distributed to shareholders.

  • Currently closed for redevelopment

    Twelve Oaks temporarily closed in February 2025 for a complete campus rebuild. Construction is expected to start in 2026 and take approximately 24 months. The facility is not currently accepting residents.

  • The new community will be very different

    The redevelopment replaces 14 small buildings with one large multi-level structure and triples capacity from 63 to 120 beds. If you're considering the future Twelve Oaks, understand that it will be a fundamentally different community than what existed before.

  • Timeline uncertainty

    The redevelopment is pending city approvals, with construction projected for 2026-2028. Timelines on projects of this scale frequently shift. Don't plan around a specific reopening date.
