6 state citations and 1 verified complaint across 8 inspections since 2021. The most significant finding came from a 2023 complaint investigation that substantiated the facility was operating over capacity: a 7th resident had been placed in a converted accessory dwelling unit (ADU) on the property that had never received a fire clearance, violating state licensing requirements. The same investigation found facility staff were providing daily living assistance to this person despite the administrator's claim they were merely a tenant, not a resident. The facility received a $500 civil penalty for the over-capacity violation. The remaining citations across the inspection record were minor. Annual inspections in 2022, 2023, 2024, and most recently June 2025 found bedrooms, restrooms, and common areas in good condition, with safety equipment operational and required postings in place. The 2025 inspection was conducted under Administrator Arlene Ceballos, who also led the 2023 annual, suggesting continuity of on-site management.
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.
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.
