0 state citations and 0 verified complaints since 2022 across 6 inspections. State investigators looked into 3 complaints filed during this period, including allegations of restricted phone access, prohibited visitors, and a staff-on-resident physical altercation -- all 3 were investigated and found unsubstantiated, meaning inspectors could not confirm the alleged violations occurred. Annual inspections from 2022 through January 2026 consistently found the facility in order: proper food storage, locked medications, functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, maintained common areas, and appropriate resident room conditions. The most recent inspection in January 2026 was unannounced and found no deficiencies.

Excellent safety record
The FYI Safety Score™ is 9.9 out of 10 (Excellent), based on state inspection data. Zero citations and zero substantiated complaints across the review period.
Memory care in a small-home setting
Most memory care is offered in large, institutional settings. Tarzana Senior Living provides dementia and Alzheimer's care in a 6-bed home, which means a quieter, less confusing environment and more consistent caregiver relationships — both important for residents with cognitive decline.
Individualized care that large communities can't replicate
The facility explicitly positions itself on providing care that's often overlooked in larger retirement communities. With six residents, caregivers can tailor routines, meals, and activities to each person's specific needs and preferences.
Accepts Medi-Cal through the ALW program
Participates in the Assisted Living Waiver, which can significantly reduce costs for eligible residents. Especially valuable for memory care, which tends to carry premium pricing.
Six years of operation
Licensed since 2020, Tarzana Senior Living has a moderate track record. Not brand new, but not decades-established either. Ask about staff retention and how many residents have stayed long-term.
Limited amenities compared to larger communities
A 6-bed home won't have a fitness center, salon, or extensive activity programming. The tradeoff for personalized attention is fewer built-in amenities. Make sure that tradeoff works for your loved one's needs.
