Overview of Oakwood Meadows Assisted Living

Oakwood Meadows Assisted Living is a 78-bed assisted living and memory care community offering 24-hour staffing and respite care at 7241 Canelo Hills Drive in Citrus Heights, California. Operated by Makena Bay, LLC under administrator Daniel Torgersen, Oakwood Meadows Assisted Living, licensed in September 2024, serves residents in Sacramento County.

The facility has under one year of operating history, so the inspection record is limited. Since licensing, Oakwood Meadows Assisted Living has logged 8 citations against a California average of 10, with complaint visits at 20 compared to a state average of 13 and total complaints at 17 versus a state average of 14. Citations per routine inspection run 0.2 against a 3.3 California average. No serious citations exist. The latest inspection occurred in May 2026.

Chef-prepared meals are served three times daily in a family-style dining room, with multiple options at each sitting. A beauty salon is available on-site. Programming includes fitness activities, religious services, social events, local shopping trips, and exercise classes.

The facility is suitable for older adults seeking assisted living or memory care in a newer, mid-sized community in Citrus Heights, where a full activity calendar and structured daily dining serve residents in Sacramento.
