Brookdale Santa Monica Gardens
Brookdale Santa Monica Gardens is a licensed residential care elderly located in Santa Monica, California. Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFE) provide non-medical care and supervision in a homelike setting for people 60 years and older who are unable to live independently.
Brookdale Santa Monica Gardens has a licensed capacity of 128 residents. Services include assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and medication management. RCFEs also provide meals, housekeeping, laundry, social activities, and 24-hour supervision. Many offer specialized care for residents with memory impairment.
Who We Serve: RCFEs serve older adults who need assistance with daily activities but do not require 24-hour skilled nursing care. Residents may include those with early to mid-stage dementia, mobility limitations, or chronic health conditions.
Licensing: RCFEs in California are typically licensed by the Community Care Licensing Division of the California Department of Social Services under Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations.
Payment Options: In California, Medicaid may help pay for assisted living through the Assisted Living Waiver (ALW). Eligibility is based on both financial and functional criteria. Contact California Department of Health Care Services or visit https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/ltc/Pages/AssistedLivingWaiver.aspx to learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply. Wait lists are common for waiver programs, so applying early is recommended.
Families researching assisted living options should verify the facility's current license status, review any inspection reports, and schedule a visit to assess whether the environment and services meet their loved one's needs. You can verify this facility's license and view inspection reports at California's facility search. For more information about assisted living regulations in California, visit California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division.
Licensing requirements and regulations may change. We recommend verifying current requirements directly with your state's licensing agency.

Very fine residents at Brookdale Santa Monica Gardens. Mia the director is wonderful and the staff and nurses are amazing as well. We enjoy sitting outside under the sun and watching all those lovely flowers in the front courtyard. Also, there are many wonderful performances here, there’s singing, dancing, and great guitars. It’s all joyful being here for us! Resident ambassador Charles is amazing with Poetry every week and resident Rose is amazing with book club discussions. I love living here!!!
Mia the director is simply the most vibrant, competent person I’ve met in a LONG time. I chose this place because every time I went there to view a room, fill out paperwork, do some type of business, residents were happy and talking to each other. The staff was all engaged with the residents. The amount of communication between everyone was comforting, and everybody wanted to be there and do an excellent job. My mom is moving in there in a week and we are so excited to be a part of this Brookdale family. By the way, food is amazing and the cleanliness is impeccable… They are also doing AMAZING Work now with some cosmetic things. Lots of attention to detail.🙏❤️
After many years of struggles here at Brookdale Santa Monica Gardens finally we have a wonderful Director who is young, smart and beautiful. Executive Director Mia improves not only my life but the lives of everyone in this community. I enjoy this location because I can walk to the ocean every day and I also enjoy shopping in the various boutiques along Montana avenue. I am very pleased with the staff, they are amazing, friendly and warm everyday. I still enjoy my independence and the main reason I keep returning to this community it's because I know when my time comes to get higher care, the staff here will take good care of me.
Brookdale Santa Monica Gardens is very nice. Great staff. The manager Mia has gone out of her way to be helpful and accommodating. The nursing staff is wonderful, especially Sandy. Other staff we appreciate are Ashley, Sergio and Javier.
Agree---Brookdale isn't cheap but the staff and facility are incredible. My 96 year old Father says the food is fantastic and the nurses and assistants are all friendly and caring. His health has improved since arriving. Location is excellent and we cannot express our gratitude enough to the team.
