35 state citations and 22 verified complaints since 2021 across 61 inspections. Substantiated findings include a 2021 incident in which a memory care resident wandered out of the facility unsupervised and was found walking down the street, resulting in a serious citation. The following year, investigators substantiated that staff again failed to prevent a resident from wandering and did not notify the responsible party in a timely manner. Also in 2022, inspectors confirmed that all 5 emergency call buttons in the Memory Care Unit were non-operational, a condition the facility had been aware of for over 3 weeks without repair. A separate substantiated complaint from the same period found that a caregiver left multiple memory care residents unattended in a movie theater before being relieved, during which a resident fell and sustained a fractured hip requiring surgery. Most recently, a 2024 inspection confirmed a hygiene citation after a resident's shoes saturated with diarrhea were found stored in the same cabinet as the resident's toothbrush.
Oakmont of Valencia is a 144-bed luxury assisted living and memory care community in Santa Clarita, part of the Oakmont Senior Living chain that operates dozens of communities across California. The campus features spacious apartments from studios to two-bedrooms, a culinary team drawn from culinary schools and fine dining establishments, a wellness center with a full-time nurse, and extensive programming.
Oakmont positions itself at the premium end of the market with an emphasis on design, finishes, and resort-style amenities.
Culinary program from fine dining professionals
Oakmont recruits from culinary schools and fine dining establishments, not institutional food service companies. Every meal is designed to be an experience. If dining quality matters to your loved one (and it should — it's three times a day), this is a genuine differentiator.
Spacious apartments, some of the largest in the industry
Oakmont claims some of the largest apartment homes in senior living, from studios to two-bedrooms. Space matters when you're living somewhere full-time. Visit to see the actual layouts and natural light.
Full-time nurse on-site
A dedicated full-time nurse provides a clinical backbone that many assisted living communities lack. Having a nurse available daily (not just on-call) means health concerns get professional eyes sooner.
Well-established chain with standardized quality
Oakmont operates dozens of communities across California. The chain brings corporate-level resources for staff training, facilities management, and programming — things that individual homes often can't match.
Below-average safety record
The FYI Safety Score™ is 1.4 out of 10 (Poor), based on state inspection data. This is one of the lowest scores in LA County, with 23 Type A citations, 22 substantiated allegations, and 86 total complaints. This demands serious investigation before considering placement. Request full inspection reports and ask management to walk you through every major finding.
Luxury positioning means premium costs
Oakmont markets itself as luxury senior living with resort-style amenities. Expect pricing to reflect that positioning. The quality of the physical space is undeniable, but families should weigh the safety record heavily against the aesthetic appeal.
Only 4 years of operation with significant citations
Licensed in 2021, Oakmont of Valencia has accumulated a concerning citation record in a short time. A new community should be establishing strong processes, not generating this volume of regulatory issues.
144 beds is one of the largest in the area
At this scale, the community operates like a large residential campus. Some families find the social opportunities appealing; others find it impersonal. Visit at meal times and during activities to see how residents actually interact.
