Overview of Savant of Tarzana

With starting prices at $3,600 monthly and licensed in April 2023, Savant of Tarzana is a 176-bed assisted living and memory care community at 5711 Reseda Boulevard in Tarzana, California. It’s operated by Summit Tarzana Operations, LLC under administrator Narine Mertkhanyan. The community serves residents in Los Angeles County with 24-hour staffing, respite care, and chef-prepared dining.

The complaint record is the defining signal in the inspection data. Since licensing, 43 complaints have been filed, 14.3 per year against California’s 4.7 average, generating 60 complaint visits compared to a 13 state average. Routine inspections tell a different story: citations per standard inspection run 0.2 against a 3.3 California average, and no serious citations appear on record. Total citations stand at 13 versus a California average of 10. The latest inspection was May 2026.

A movie theater, fitness center, gardening spaces, and chef-prepared meals with an evolving menu are among the amenities. The campus is walkable, with most services accessible on foot from Reseda Boulevard.

With a 68-day average stay duration and current availability, Savant of Tarzana in the San Fernando Valley is oriented toward short-term assisted living and post-acute stays.

6 of 6 metrics below state avg

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.	22m per day	▼ 46% State avg: 40m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.	1h 6m per day	▼ 9% State avg: 1h 12m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.	2h 34m per day	▼ 3% State avg: 2h 39m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.	3h 45m per day	▼ 8% State avg: 4h 5m per day · National avg: 3h 27m per day
Physical Therapist Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.	4m per day	▼ 35% State avg: 6m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.	15m per day	▼ 52% State avg: 31m per day · National avg: 29m per day
