25 state citations (15 serious, 10 minor) and 13 verified complaints since 2022 across 54 inspections. Among the substantiated complaint findings: in December 2022, a resident sustained multiple injuries during a fall transfer; in March 2024, investigators confirmed the facility charged a resident $435 per month above the rate specified in their admission agreement and requested backpay for a care cost increase without documenting proper advance notice to the responsible party; and in June 2024, a serious personal rights citation was issued after an investigation substantiated that a resident's right under California regulation to be free from neglect and intimidation was violated. Additional complaints investigated during this period, including allegations of medication theft, food shortages, inadequate supervision during resident altercations, and lost personal belongings, were found unsubstantiated based on available evidence.
Oakmont of Novato is a 118-bed assisted living and memory care community in Novato, set in the quieter northern reaches of Marin County. Part of the Oakmont Senior Living chain, the community offers the brand's standard programming and amenities in a suburban North Bay setting.
However, the facility's safety record demands serious scrutiny from families considering placement here.
North Marin County location
Novato offers a slower pace than the rest of Marin — less congested, more space, with easy access to hiking trails and open land while still being within reach of San Francisco.
Established chain operator
Oakmont Senior Living operates dozens of communities across California, bringing standardized training, staffing protocols, and corporate oversight to each location.
Mid-size community
At 118 beds, the community is large enough to offer robust programming and on-site services without feeling institutional.
Alarming safety record
With a safety score of 2.0 out of 9.9, this facility has a deeply concerning inspection history. Families should request detailed information about recent citations and what corrective actions have been taken.
Premium pricing for the area
Situated in Marin County, one of the most expensive counties in California, costs here reflect the high cost of living in the North Bay.
