View full state recordKingsley Manor is a 299-bed senior living community in the heart of Los Angeles, operated by Front Porch, a well-established nonprofit senior living organization. Located on Kingsley Drive near Hollywood, the property offers both independent and assisted living in a setting that leans into its classic Hollywood-era architecture — ivy-clad walls, mature trees, and walking paths.
1 miles from a grocery store, under 2 miles from Griffith Park, and near multiple hospitals. It accepts Medi-Cal through the ALW program.
Walkable urban location with real neighborhood access
Jons Marketplace is 0.1 miles away, Griffith Park is 1.8 miles, and multiple hospitals including Kaiser Permanente are within 1.1 miles. Residents are embedded in a real neighborhood, not isolated on a campus.
Backed by Front Porch, a nonprofit network
Front Porch is a well-established nonprofit senior living organization with multiple communities. This means institutional stability, shared resources, and organizational accountability that independent operators can't match.
Accepts Medi-Cal through the ALW program
Participates in the Assisted Living Waiver, which can significantly offset costs for eligible residents. For a community of this caliber and location, that's a meaningful financial consideration.
Diverse floor plan options
Studios, suites, and two-bedroom apartments are available — more variety than most senior living communities. This flexibility means residents can choose a living arrangement that fits their preferences and budget.
Below-average safety record
The FYI Safety Score™ is 3.9 out of 10 (Poor), based on state inspection data. With 6 Type A citations, 17 substantiated allegations, and 79 total allegations over the review period, this is a significant concern. Ask management directly about their inspection history and corrective actions.
299 beds is a very large operation
At nearly 300 residents, this community operates more like a large hotel than a home. Common areas will be busy, and individual attention may be limited. If your loved one prefers intimacy and quiet, this scale may not be the right fit.
Classic architecture can mean older infrastructure
The Hollywood-era charm is appealing, but older buildings sometimes come with accessibility limitations, dated plumbing, or HVAC challenges. Ask about recent renovations and ADA compliance when you visit.
