Sherwood Forest Senior Living has 7 state citations and 1 verified complaint since 2022 across 8 inspections, including 3 serious and 4 minor citations. The most serious finding came from a 2022 complaint investigation that substantiated a resident sustaining multiple pressure injuries due to neglect; the facility also failed to assist the family in finding alternative placement, resulting in a serious citation and a $500 civil penalty. In May 2024, state regulators held an informal conference with the licensee to address recent deficiencies and provide compliance guidance, noting that further citations could lead to license revocation proceedings. The facility has also undergone physical plant changes, expanding from 3 to 5 resident bedrooms following city building and fire department approvals finalized in late 2024 and mid-2025. The 2 most recent annual inspections, in January 2025 and January 2026, did not note new deficiencies in the areas reviewed.
Sherwood Forest Senior Living is a 6-bed residential care home in the Northridge area that emphasizes personalized, home-style care. The facility offers 24-hour supervision with certified caregivers who assist with everything from bathing and grooming to medication management.
Meals are prepared daily from scratch using farm-fresh ingredients, and a dedicated activity coordinator runs daily programs including art therapy, music, games, and holiday celebrations. Licensed since 2021, this is a smaller home that networks with outside healthcare professionals for hospice, physical therapy, and salon services.
Farm-fresh meals cooked from scratch daily
Not reheated trays or institutional food — the facility emphasizes daily meal preparation using farm-fresh ingredients and locally sourced produce. For a 6-bed home, this means genuinely personalized dining.
Dedicated activity coordinator with a real program
Art therapy, music therapy, mild exercise, bingo nights, movie nights, puzzles, and holiday celebrations. The activity calendar is updated based on resident preferences, which is unusually thoughtful for a home this size.
Care that scales with changing needs
The facility works with outside healthcare professionals — home health, hospice, physical therapy — and adjusts care from supervisory to directed level as needs change. You won't necessarily need to move your loved one if their condition progresses.
Only 5 years of operation
Licensed in early 2021, Sherwood Forest is still a relatively young home. Ask about caregiver tenure, resident satisfaction, and how the home has evolved since opening.
Small home means limited social circle
With only 6 beds, your loved one's daily social world is small. Great for those who prefer quiet intimacy, but not ideal for someone who thrives on variety and meeting new people.
