Since 2021, state inspectors have cited Walnut Garden Too 6 times (2 serious, 4 minor) and confirmed 1 complaint across 8 visits. The confirmed complaint was that the home was taking in more residents than it was approved for. The home is licensed for 6 residents based on its fire clearance, but a 7th person was placed in a converted unit on the same property that the fire department had never inspected or cleared as a bedroom. Inspectors cited the home for this on July 28, 2023, and the home was fined $500. The administrator told inspectors that person was a tenant, not a resident, but also said staff had helped them that morning because their private caregiver was running late. Annual inspections in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 described resident bedrooms with clean linens, and the 2024 inspection found the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors working and the fire extinguishers fully charged.
From ~5 years of state inspection records, as of October 2026. How the score works · Report a data error
Walnut Garden Too is one of five Walnut Garden Luxury Senior Living locations clustered on Collins Street in Valley Village. The multi-home model means shared staffing, consistent standards, and organizational stability across the network.
The homes provide assistance with daily living, meal preparation, social activities, and a focus on maintaining residents' independence and dignity. They accept Medi-Cal through the ALW program.
Solid safety record
A mostly clean inspection record: 2 serious and 4 minor citations across 8 state inspections, with 1 verified complaint. Nothing here stands out as a red flag, though it's still worth asking how any past issues were resolved.
Part of a 5-home cluster in Valley Village
Walnut Garden operates five homes in the same neighborhood — four on Collins Street and one on Cedros Avenue in Sherman Oaks. This concentration means shared resources, backup staff, and a level of operational infrastructure unusual for board and cares.
Accepts Medi-Cal through the ALW program
Participates in the Assisted Living Waiver, making this accessible to residents who qualify for Medi-Cal coverage. Combined with the 'luxury' positioning, that's a notable combination of quality and affordability.
Central Valley location with good accessibility
Valley Village sits in a central San Fernando Valley location with easy access to the 101 and 170 freeways. Convenient for families across the Valley and reasonably accessible from central LA.
Philosophy centered on independence and dignity
Walnut Garden's stated approach is to assist with daily living while keeping independence and dignity intact. They work closely with families to address individual preferences — a good sign for personalized care.
5 years of operation across a growing network
This specific location has been licensed since June 2020. While the network provides stability, rapid expansion from one home to five within a few years can strain staffing and management attention. Ask about caregiver-to-resident ratios and turnover.
Website is dated and provides limited detail
The Walnut Garden website is outdated with limited information about specific services, daily activities, or meal quality. Plan to visit in person — the web presence doesn't reflect what you'll actually experience.
