164 Residential Care Homes near Santa Monica, CA

Last Updated: 2/21/25

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.

Recent reviews of Residential Care Home in Santa Monica, CA
Hollywood Healthy Living in Sun Valley, CA
4.8 / 5.0

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 !

Las Casitas Assisted Living in Burbank, CA
4.5 / 5.0

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.

Discover the many ways to pay for senior living

Planning ahead can better position you to make good choices for your loved one’s care in the future. But if your aging family member needs care now, there are ways to finance the cost of long-term care through a combination of approaches.

What are care homes?

Residential care homes are houses in residential neighborhoods that are equipped, adapted, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually between two and 10. Like assisted living communities, staff at care homes typically help residents with activities of daily living, including bathing, dressing, and medication management. Although residential care homes vary significantly depending on the community, services usually include:

  • Help with personal care
  • Medication management
  • Mobility assistance
  • Nutritious meals
  • Social activities and outings
  • Housekeeping
  • Laundry
