Carmel Oaks Assisted Living has recorded 18 state citations (10 serious, 8 minor) and 2 verified complaints since 2021 across 13 inspections. The most serious documented finding was operating over its licensed capacity of 6 residents: state inspectors confirmed 8 residents were living at the facility between October and December 2022, in direct violation of the facility's license terms. A second verified complaint, investigated in July 2023, found that staff failed to safeguard a resident's personal belongings after clothing went missing and the administrator gave the family inconsistent explanations for the loss. Inspectors also cited the facility multiple times between 2021 and 2023 for medications stored in unlocked cabinets accessible to residents, a recurring issue that prompted follow-up deficiency visits in December 2022 and January 2023. The facility's most recent annual inspection took place on May 6, 2025.
Carmel Oaks Assisted Living is a 6-bed board-and-care home on Lennox Avenue in Sherman Oaks, offering a straightforward proposition: healthy meals, personal care, supervision, activities, and entertainment in the comfort of a private room.
