Indalo Homes sits at 1201 Pearl St in Santa Monica and brings a family feeling to senior care, with a focus on helping older adults through life changes, and the place uses the Indalo Man as its symbol, which stands for hope and protection, and that's a nice touch for folks looking for peace of mind. This facility keeps things simple with six licensed beds, so it feels more like a family home than a big building, and you'll find trained staff giving 24-hour help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication, along with extra support for people living with dementia or Parkinson's, or those needing hospice or respite care. The building has important safety features like rails, smoke alarms, fire sprinklers, and wheelchair access, along with alert systems for emergencies, and the environment is designed for comfort, with furnished rooms, meal preparation, Wi-Fi, cable TV, regular housekeeping, laundry, and both indoor and outdoor gathering spaces. Residents get meals and have choices for activities, from arts and crafts and music programs to movie nights, day trips, and games, and transportation and parking make it easier for residents to get out and about, plus there's a focus on community with things like group activities, resident-run events, and LGBTQ inclusivity.
Indalo Homes is part of a group of local care locations, including Ocean Park Residences, Ocean Gardens, and others scattered through Santa Monica, like Dewey Home Inc., all working with a long history and family ownership, going back to 1978, as seen with Holiday Villa East. The group offers many types of care: assisted living, independent living, board and care, memory care, skilled nursing, home care, hospice, and short stays for families who need respite, and they accept credit card payments and have 24/7 help available every day. The community offers a calm, safe place, with professional staff-like CNAs, LPNs, and RNs-and options for employment in caregiving roles. The living spaces stay comfortable, and the staff gets ratings of 5.0 in some reviews, which people can check for themselves, and meals and building quality both get high marks. The place makes sure families can find a home-like setting, simple routines, help with health needs, and the company of others going through similar changes, making daily life a bit easier and giving families some comfort that their loved ones get the right kind of assistance.
