Introducing the FYI Safety Score — every facility rated on state inspection data

Brookdale Scotts Valley

100 Lockewood Ln

Scotts Valley, CA 95066

220 beds • Est. 2005 (20 years)


FYI Safety Score

5.9 Poor

9 state citations (4 serious, 5 minor) and 7 verified complaints since 2021 across 51 inspections. The most significant substantiated finding came in August 2024, when investigators confirmed a resident had been left in soiled double diapers from the morning shift through a shift change, resulting in a cited deficiency. Investigators reviewing late 2024 complaints documented medication administration record gaps for a newly admitted resident, with required medication signatures missing for the first 4 days of residency and no documentation confirming whether medications were delivered. A 2024 investigation into a 2022 incident found that a third-party agency caregiver had caused a skin tear on a resident and that wound care was delayed by several days; the facility has since ended its contract with that staffing agency. The most recent state inspection was completed February 18, 2026.


Why we like it

Brookdale Scotts Valley is a 220-bed assisted living community in Scotts Valley, a small town nestled in the Santa Cruz Mountains between San Jose and Santa Cruz. One of the larger Brookdale campuses in California, it offers the scale to support a wide range of care needs.

The surrounding redwood-covered hills and mild coastal climate make for a peaceful setting.

  • Scotts Valley outdoor access

    The community sits near Sky Park and a local farmers market, with on-site walking trails — specific Scotts Valley geography that supports staying active outside the building.

  • Facility-verified pricing

    Starting price of $4,015/month is confirmed by the facility — not estimated. Families can use this as a real baseline before touring.

  • Assisted living only

    No memory care at this location. If cognitive needs may progress, ask the community directly about their transition plan and what happens when a resident no longer qualifies for assisted living.

  • 220-bed scale

    This is a large community. Families who prefer a smaller, more residential environment should tour before committing — size affects staffing ratios and day-to-day feel.

  • National chain operations

    Brookdale is one of the largest senior living operators in the country. Ask specifically about staff tenure and turnover at this location, not the corporate average.
