Who are you searching for?
Residential care homes in Santa Monica may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. Santa Monica care homes typically take in fewer residents, meaning older adults know each resident in the home and develop strong friendships.
Older-adult care homes vary more than other options for senior living in Santa Monica, so families can choose from a wide range of prices, amenities, and services. A Place for Mom will work with you to understand the cost of care homes. From there, we’ll help you find the right fit, whether you’re staying on a budget or searching for luxury retirement communities.
We are also serving Residential Care Home facilities in surrounding neighborhoods like Northeast, Wilshire Montana and Sunset Park.
You may also consider nearby communities such as Los Angeles, Inglewood or Riviera.

Residential Care Home
When our family decided it was time for our dad to move into assisted living, a friend recommended we call A Place For Mom. I went online and filled out a questionnaire asking basic questions as to the location, needs, urgency to move and someone called me within minutes. We were given the names and addresses of 5 potential places to move our dad. The first board & care we visited was Hollywood Healthy Living in the San Fernando Valley. We met with the owner and she showed us the home, introduced us to staff and residents and answered all of our questions. We left and visited the other 4 homes but kept finding reasons they were not a good fit for our dad. We returned to HHL and moved him in within a few weeks. He has now been there almost 2 years. The owners and staff treat him like family. He is very happy there and has never asked us to move him or take him home. That is very reassuring to us all. I would highly recommend HHL !
My experience was very good my granny had fun and she wanted to go there every time we left somewhere, thank you for taking good care of my granny. This is a great place to leave your grandma or grandpa
I toured several facilities with my mother, [name removed], before deciding on Las Casitas. What struck me about Las Casitas was the sense of community and warmth of the caregivers. Several options we toured were vast residences and were too tough to imagine putting my mother into, but at Las Casitas I felt she was moving into a place where she would be cared for and nurtured. It is always hard to make these decisions to move your parent to a home, but the Administrator and staff made it as easy as possible. We are very glad to have made the choice to move to Las Casitas.
