23 state citations and 11 verified complaints since 2022 across 50 inspections. The facility's license was revoked in August 2022 following a state regulatory decision, though operations have continued since. At least 1 verified complaint confirmed that residents with wandering behaviors eloped from the premises while staff were on break or otherwise occupied, prompting family to contact local police. State inspectors issued 10 serious and 13 minor citations over the inspection record. Additional complaints regarding medication dispensing, hot water access, property safeguarding, food service, and communication with residents' families were investigated and found unsubstantiated. The 2 most recent complaint investigations, both from October 2025, examined allegations of staff going through a resident's personal belongings and mishandling personal finances; both were found unsubstantiated, with residents and staff disputing the claims.
Henrietta's Leven Oaks is an 80-bed assisted living community in a historic building at the heart of Old Town Monrovia, first opened in 1911 and now operated by Specialized Community Healthcare. The facility offers 41 units for both assisted living and memory care residents, with activities ranging from seated aerobics to arts and crafts.
The location is walkable to Monrovia's charming shops, cafes, and cultural attractions, and nearby medical centers provide convenient access to healthcare.
Historic building with genuine character
Originally opened in 1911, this is one of the most architecturally distinctive senior living facilities in the LA area. The historic building has been updated for modern living while retaining its original charm — a far cry from the generic new-construction look of most communities.
Walkable Old Town Monrovia location
Situated in the heart of Old Town Monrovia, residents and visiting families have walkable access to local shops, cafes, and cultural attractions. This kind of neighborhood integration keeps residents connected to the outside world.
Both assisted living and memory care under one roof
Offers assisted living and memory care, which means residents can transition between care levels without the upheaval of moving to a new facility. That continuity matters — especially for residents with progressive conditions.
Below-average safety record
The FYI Safety Score™ is 2.3 out of 10 (Poor), based on state inspection data. This reflects a significantly higher-than-typical number of citations and substantiated complaints. Ask management directly about their inspection history and what structural changes they've made to address issues.
Only 3 years of operation under current license
Licensed in its current form since 2022, this is a young operation. While the building has history, the management team is still establishing its track record. Ask about staff turnover and resident satisfaction.
Historic building may have accessibility limitations
A 1911 building, even renovated, may have design constraints that purpose-built modern facilities don't — narrower hallways, older infrastructure, accessibility workarounds. Walk the space carefully and assess whether it works for your loved one's mobility needs.
