We highly recommend Ocean House , if you have only minimal needs for assistance, of if you just want a really lovely community around you in your home at the beach! The facility is beautiful, and some of the views are spectacular. The food is excellent, and everyone we encountered working there was friendly, caring and hard-working. The only drawback? If you need medications or like being taken to meals in the dining room at specific times, you may have to wait a while. The caregivers worked very hard, but it seemed like there just weren’t enough of them. I know they were actively looking to hire while we were there, and they were clearly concerned about hiring only the best. This place is ideal if you are basically independent, and if you take advantage of the many activities and opportunities for fun.... Read more

Response from Brookdale Ocean House
October 25, 2021We deeply regret that we were unable to meet all of your expectations. We want to thank you for taking the time to visit and for providing feedback. Please know it will be reviewed and used to better serve our residents and their families in the future.
The community is sometimes short on staff. The Executive Director always has an open door to discuss things with anybody. They have activities available for the residents and some include: bridge, blackjack, mahjong and more for the residents.

I am. current resident, since [date removed], and have had nothing but trouble, though the view is spectacular, and dining serves are GREAT. Several residents and I wrote a new slogan for Ocean House that sums up my experience: Brookdale Ocean House: A Place You Can Go to Die Alone In Your Apartment With No One Noticing; BUT At Least You Have An Ocean View!!! Beware. Protect you loved one and go somewhere that will care about them, and protect them.

Rooms are claustrophobic small and there's no possibility of cooking even a small meal in the room. They provide a small fridge inside the closet. Won't work for us but the facility has a lot to offer otherwise.

I like this community for the care for my father. the staff have always been nice and let me know if there are any changes. the community is clean and the atmosphere is nice. The menu of health meals are appealing. We like that he is active with the other residetns. We would highly recommend the care and the value of the community to other families.

I had a nice respite stay here at this community. This is a lovely community, everything went very well. They have a great staff, they all were very friendly. The community looked great, they do a good job with the cleanliness. I will say that the meal program needs improving. Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend it.

I think that the Brookdale Santa Monica facility makes some pretty good food for the residents that are living there and the staff members serving it are nice. It is just absolutely a beautiful location as well.

We visited this community (it was called Ocean House at the time of our visit) while looking into care options for a loved one. I thought this place was fantastic! The facility itself was clean and well decorated, and the staff I met all seemed friendly and professional. It seemed like they offered a great amount of services and care for the price. All that being said, it was just a little too big for the person I was looking into options for, she said it felt a little impersonal and more like a hotel.
