Ciela Senior Living sits in Pacific Palisades, California, right in the Santa Monica Mountains, and the building is a mid-rise that can support up to 100 residents. The apartments come in studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts, and some have two bathrooms; residents can choose to bring their own furniture or select furnished options. In the shared areas, you'll see floor-to-ceiling windows with wide views of the mountains, designer cabinetry, a library, beauty salon, movie theater, common rooms for games, and a garden for walks or relaxing. There are big outdoor spaces, walking paths through nearby parks, and pets like dogs, cats, birds, and fish are welcome as long as folks take care of their animals and follow the rules.
The community provides Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care, along with specialized programs like a dedicated Parkinson's program and a Vitality wellness center. For Memory Care, shared bedrooms start at $12,995 a month and private rooms start at $15,995 a month, but for other options, you'll need to ask for current prices. Every apartment has a washer and dryer except those in Memory Care, and you'll also find appliances like a microwave and refrigerator with ice maker, secure Salto wireless keyless entry, and strong Wi-Fi throughout the building.
Ciela offers gourmet, chef-prepared California cuisine with three meals per day, serving meals indoors and out, and staff can handle dietary needs and preferences. There's a salt therapy room, a rooftop yoga area, an infrared sauna, and a Hydro Works 2000 Hydrotherapy pool, as well as other wellness activities like sound-guided meditation, acupuncture, barre classes, and red light therapy. The daily schedule includes sponsored activities, recreation in the game room or library, and social events to help residents stay involved.
Support services include medication management, physical therapy, housekeeping, laundry, linen service, and 24/7 concierge, plus transportation for appointments or outings. The community is near physicians, cafes, parks, and pharmacies, and the staff checks licensing and training regularly; Ciela holds California RCFE License #198320375 and gets reviewed every two years to keep its official status. Security covers the campus, and there's a 24-hour call and emergency response system.
Residents get help with bathing, dressing, transfers, or whatever else is needed, all delivered by a trained team day or night. The floor plans are accessible for folks with disabilities, and community programs are designed to engage residents physically, mentally, and emotionally with a focus on purpose, community, environment, joy, and movement. Ciela runs a process where a senior living advisor helps families learn about care needs and fit, and there's also a free service for families looking for the right living option. Ciela has earned an 8.4 Community Score and participates in awards like Best of Senior Living and Best Activities in Senior Living. Facility tours show the real living spaces, menus, and community events so families can see daily life first-hand.
