The Best Residential Board & Care for the Elderly

Providing Quality Service for over 29 years

At Santa Monica Home & Care, we believe that true care extends beyond medical assistance and daily routines. It's about creating a vibrant, supportive community where every resident feels valued, respected, and truly at home.

From meals and activities meant to nourish body and soul, to customized memory services for those who need it, Santa Monica Home & Care is here to help our residents live their best lives. We understand that transitioning to assisted living can be a significant change, both for residents and their families. That's why our approach is centered on empathy, understanding, and personalized attention.

We strive to make this transition as smooth and comfortable as possible, ensuring that our residents not only receive the highest quality of care but also find joy, companionship, and a renewed sense of purpose in their daily lives. Explore our older adults engaging in activities, celebrating birthdays, and enjoying both indoor and outdoor spaces.

A Day in the Life at Santa Monica Home & Care

Imagine waking up to the gentle aroma of a home-cooked breakfast, prepared just the way you like it. At Santa Monica Home & Care, each day is an opportunity for comfort, engagement, and personalized attention. Our residents enjoy a vibrant routine that balances structured activities with ample time for personal pursuits and relaxation.

Our mornings often begin with a choice of nutritious and delicious breakfast options, followed by light exercises or a stroll in our beautiful garden. Throughout the day, our activity director organizes a variety of engaging programs, from music therapy and art classes to stimulating discussions and social gatherings. We believe in fostering a sense of community, where residents can share stories, build friendships, and create lasting memories.

Lunch is a communal affair, offering another chance for residents to connect over wholesome meals. Afternoons might include quiet reading in our cozy common areas, enjoying the California sunshine on our covered patio, or participating in one-on-one activities tailored to individual interests. We also facilitate arrangements for medical visits and transportation, ensuring seamless access to necessary care.

Evenings are a time for winding down, with residents enjoying dinner together, followed by leisurely activities or simply relaxing in their private or shared rooms. Our 24-hour care ensures that assistance is always at hand, providing peace of mind for both residents and their families. At Santa Monica Home & Care, every moment is an opportunity to live life to the fullest, surrounded by warmth, care, and a community that feels just like family.

Testimonials

"Santa Monica Home & Care is a well-kept secret in Santa Monica. Privately owned, the home offers a comfortable garden setting, with excellent, caring caregivers managing two homes within the property. Meals are fresh foods prepared daily, residents may read, rest on the covered patio, and participate in various weekly activities, such as music, and personal massage/PT. We are grateful for their compassionate care for my elderly mother."
