Overall Review of Summit Assisted Living of Tarzana

caveat 2 reviews mention this

Price looks well below averages

Pricing can feel affordable, but some residents report sharp increases.

Several reviewers describe the community as reasonably priced, and that matches the overall pricing position against county and state benchmarks. At the same time, at least one family report says monthly costs were raised more than once, and that the increase didn’t feel justified for the level of service they received.

Dining quality gets mixed reviews

Dining is a noticeable part of the experience, with both praise and complaints in reviews.

Some residents say meals are consistently good and look forward to dining time, including praise tied to the chef. Other reviewers question food quality and describe situations where their loved ones wouldn’t eat what was served. The community also offers restaurant-style dining and room service, alongside a range of diet options listed for meals.

caveat 2 reviews mention this

24-hour help is disputed

Residents and families question how reliably help is available overnight.

A reviewer says residents’ call for assistance doesn’t work as advertised after hours, including trouble reaching someone when a resident needs help. Another account describes issues with getting the front door opened when needed and waiting for staff to respond. Even though the community lists 24-hour call and supervision in its care services, these reviews raise concerns about real-world coverage.

common 15 reviews mention this

Care team is sometimes praised

Staff attentiveness and compassion show up often in positive reviews.

Many reviewers describe the team as caring, responsive, and attentive to residents’ needs, including praise for leadership and specific wellness staff. A smaller set of reviews go the other direction, describing rude behavior, lack of empathy, and feeling that residents’ well-being wasn’t prioritized. Taken together, the reviews suggest the quality of day-to-day support can vary by experience and situation.

caveat 9 reviews mention this

Cleanliness is a recurring theme

Some residents find the building clean, while others report serious hygiene concerns.

Several accounts say the facility is clean, well maintained, and welcoming, with rooms described as comfortable and kept up. Other reviews report odors in shared areas, dirty rooms, missing supplies, and hygiene-related concerns such as pests. There are also mentions of cleanliness falling short in the context of room upkeep and laundry or housekeeping.
