Why we like it

AvantGarde Senior Living of Tarzana is a 138-bed community in the San Fernando Valley offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, and respite care. The facility markets itself as a luxury senior community with amenities including an 8-hole putting green, Rendever virtual reality experiences, restaurant-style dining, a wellness center, luxury transportation, and a full calendar of activities ranging from art therapy to shopping excursions.

It participates in the ALW program for Medi-Cal eligible residents.

  • Full continuum of care under one roof

    Independent living, assisted living, memory care, and respite care are all available. Residents can transition between care levels as needs change without the disruption of moving to a new community.

  • Uncommon amenities for a mid-size community

    An 8-hole putting green, Rendever virtual reality technology, luxury transportation, and restaurant-style dining set AvantGarde apart from standard assisted living facilities. These aren't just listed on a brochure — ask to see them in action during your tour.

  • Accepts Medi-Cal through the ALW program

    For a facility that positions itself as luxury senior living, ALW participation is notable. This creates access for Medi-Cal eligible residents who might otherwise be priced out of a community at this level.

  • 15 years of established operation

    Licensed since 2011, AvantGarde of Tarzana has had over a decade to build its community culture, refine its programming, and establish relationships with local healthcare providers.

  • Below-average safety record

    The FYI Safety Score™ is 6.7 out of 10 (Below Average), based on state inspection data. With 107 total allegations and 15 Type A citations over the review period, this facility has received significantly more complaints than typical. Ask management directly about their inspection history and what systemic improvements have been made.

  • Luxury marketing vs. reality check

    The website uses aspirational language like 'luxury apartments' and 'luxury transportation.' When you visit, test whether the reality matches the branding. Are common areas actually well-maintained? Is the food truly restaurant-quality? Is the putting green used?

  • 138 beds is a large community

    At this size, the facility operates as a campus-style community. It won't feel like a home. Some residents thrive in this social environment; others find it impersonal. Know your loved one's preference before committing.
