Overview of Gardens at Northridge

Facebook Instagram LinkedIn

Gardens at Northridge occupies 135 beds in Northridge at 17650 Devonshire St.; part of the Aura Collection. It’s a nursing home offering assisted living and memory care. Operated by Pacifica Devonshire LLC (Devonshire Mgr LLC), administered by Lisa Villasenor. Licensed as a continuing care retirement community; operating for three years.

Occupancy: 64% (86 of 135 beds). Average stay: 31 days. Medicare, Medicaid, private pay accepted.

Respite care and 24-hour staffing available. Nursing coverage runs 3 hours 55 minutes per resident daily. Weekend nursing aide hours: 5 hours 1 minute (23% above California average).

Amenities: rooftop deck, activities rooms, sitting areas, library, game room, outdoor patio, pet-friendly apartments. There are chef-prepared meals, religious services, and financial planning assistance.

On citations: 3 total versus California’s average of 10 (70% below average). Zero serious citations, placing the facility ranked #1 in California on this metric.

Citations per inspection: 0.1 versus the state’s 3.3; that’s 97% below average. The inspection score is 82 out of 100 (B-), marginally above California’s average of 81. Recent inspections consistently found the facility clean, safe, properly furnished, with no citations.

Total visits: 27 versus California’s average of 16 (69% above). Complaint visits: 19 versus state’s 13 (46% above). Complaint investigations: 14 versus average of 10 (40% above). This is a facility under more scrutiny and investigation relative to peers, though the scrutiny hasn’t yielded major violations.

February 2025 substantiated two billing deficiencies: charging a resident for unreceived services and failing to itemize statements accurately. The facility was required to reimburse the resident. October 2025 found no deficiencies and no financial abuse or safeguarding failures.
Gardens at Northridge holds an unusual profile: exceptional citation performance (ranked #1 in California for zero serious violations) paired with elevated complaint and investigation activity. The February billing issue suggests operational controls failed on a financial transaction. The facility corrected it, which is positive.

The inspection metric excellence is genuine; the complaint volume signals families or residents had concerns more frequently than peers. For families evaluating this facility, the distinction between regulatory findings and resident complaints matters.
