FYI Safety Score

7.6 Fair

Bay Towers at Bixby Knolls has 11 minor state citations and 2 verified complaints since 2022 across 18 inspections, with 0 serious citations on record. The most notable recent citation came from the September 2025 annual inspection, when inspectors found water temperatures on the 4th, 5th, and 6th floors running at approximately 90 degrees Fahrenheit due to failing circulation pumps; the facility acknowledged the problem had been identified before the inspection but had not been reported to state licensing. Repairs were completed October 3, 2025, and the citation was cleared October 7, 2025. Of the 8 total complaints filed, 6 were investigated and found unfounded, covering allegations of flooding, broken air conditioning, a malfunctioning garage gate, and unit disrepair. In several cases, investigators determined the reported issues involved the adjacent independent living building on the property, which is not licensed under Community Care Licensing.


Why we like it

Bay Towers at Bixby Knolls is a 65-bed senior living community in Long Beach's Bixby Knolls neighborhood, offering independent living, assisted living, senior apartments, and respite care. The community features chef-prepared meals served in an all-day dining room, a full-service salon, library, secured walking paths, professionally landscaped outdoor spaces with outdoor dining, and emergency alert systems in every apartment.

Recognized by Assisted Living Magazine for Best Assisted Living in Long Beach, it is operated by the same management group behind Northridge Valley Senior Living and Hollywood Hills Senior Living.

  • All-day dining room — eat on your schedule

    The dining room is open all day, not just for fixed meal times. Reviews specifically highlight this as a standout feature. Flexible dining respects residents' natural rhythms and is one of those details that significantly impacts daily quality of life.

  • Bixby Knolls — a real Long Beach neighborhood

    Located in Bixby Knolls, one of Long Beach's most established residential areas with local restaurants, shops, and community character. Residents aren't isolated in a commercial zone — they're part of a real neighborhood. Convenient for families in Long Beach and the surrounding area.

  • Secured walking paths and outdoor dining

    Professionally landscaped outdoor spaces with walking paths and outdoor dining areas let residents enjoy Long Beach's mild weather safely. These aren't afterthought patios — reviews specifically mention the outdoor areas as an attraction.

  • Multiple living options including senior apartments

    Beyond standard assisted living, Bay Towers offers independent living and senior apartments. This gives residents flexibility to choose the level of support they need, and the ability to transition between options as needs change.

  • Below-average safety record

    The FYI Safety Score™ is 6.1 out of 10 (Below Average), based on state inspection data. With 2 substantiated allegations across 18 visits, there are enough flags to warrant asking management about specific inspection findings and corrective actions.

  • Only 2 years of operation

    Licensed in September 2023, this is a very new community. The management group operates several other locations, but this specific building and team have minimal track record. Ask about occupancy, staff retention, and any early operational challenges.

  • Part of a multi-location management group

    Operated by the same company behind Northridge Valley and Hollywood Hills Senior Living. Website content and amenity lists are nearly identical across properties. Visit in person to see if the execution matches the marketing — corporate standards are only as good as local implementation.
