Grand Oaks Assisted Living

999 North M Street

Tulare, CA 93274

85 beds • Est. 2024 (1 years)


FYI Safety Score

5.5 Poor

Grand Oaks Assisted Living has recorded 8 state citations (4 serious, 4 minor) and 4 verified complaints since 2023 across 20 inspections, with its most recent inspection on January 26, 2026. The facility opened under new ownership in mid-2024 following a change of ownership in December 2023. Among the most serious findings: in April 2024, a staff member failed to administer a resident's medication on 9 of 23 days because they could not read the resident's blood sugar levels, documenting "HI" rather than escalating; inspectors also cited the facility for lacking a required Home Health Care Plan for a resident with a prohibited health condition. The most recent substantiated findings, from January 2026, involved retaining a resident who required a higher level of care, inadequate staffing, and a failure to report approximately 5 resident falls to state licensing because the administrator was unaware of the reporting requirement.


Why we like it

Grand Oaks is an 85-bed assisted living community in Tulare, a quiet agricultural town in the Central Valley. The community offers a mid-size setting with enough residents to support structured programming while still feeling manageable.

  • Mid-size community

    At 85 beds, Grand Oaks is large enough to offer organized activities and on-site staffing depth without feeling institutional.

  • Central Valley affordability

    Tulare's lower cost of living typically translates to more accessible assisted living pricing compared to coastal California.

  • Small-town setting

    Tulare offers a slower pace of life and close-knit community feel that some families prefer over larger metro areas.

  • Below-average safety record

    Grand Oaks has an FYI Safety Score of 4.3, indicating a pattern of citations or complaints that families should ask about before visiting.

  • Limited nearby medical specialists

    As a smaller Central Valley city, Tulare has fewer specialty medical providers than larger metro areas, which may matter for residents with complex health needs.
