This place is AWESOME. All private rooms, clean, friendly staff, all contained within one building and they have the most beautiful rooftop deck which has a view of the ocean. My grandmother loves to look at the ocean. They also just have one fee with NO extra care fee or anything. Perfect!

The staff was friendly, very helpful and more than willing to change apts. to whatever we wanted. Pets are welcomed, for a small deposit and and the deposit to move in wasn't out of range. However, Mom has major lung problems and the different smells caused her coughing to act up & eyes stung..Location, perfect..just not comfortable with the age/care of the building.

A Place for Mom has scored Villa Santa Barbara 9.4 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.
We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.
Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
