Ocean Gardens 1 & 2 sits in Santa Monica, California, with its main locations at 2411 Arizona Street, 1247 25th Street, and 1304 Princeton Street, and these places offer a safe, quiet, and home-like setting where seniors get help with daily living and memory care needs like Alzheimer's and dementia. The staff include Registered Nurses, Medical Directors, Pharmacy Consultants, Nutrition Directors, and Activity Directors, and they're there around the clock, which means residents always have someone nearby to help if anything comes up, especially with things like bathing, dressing, transfers, managing medicine, or incontinence care. People find the homes cozy and sunny, with friendly and joyful staff who treat the residents like family, always aiming to make everyone feel welcome and cared for, and there are plenty of daily activities, both inside and out, like movie nights, walks on lush garden paths, visits to the small library, or just sitting on the patio, so staying busy and connected isn't a problem.
There's a special focus on emotional wellbeing, nutritious organic meals-with choices for special diets like no sugar, gluten-free, low-salt, vegetarian, vegan, or even diabetes-friendly-and the large dining room becomes a place for shared meals and conversation. Ocean Gardens offers assisted living, respite care, and board and care services, and the memory care environment helps reduce confusion and prevent wandering, which is important for anyone living with dementia. The staff speaks kindly and patiently, offering companionship and help with whatever personal needs come up, including housekeeping, laundry, and managing special diets.
The homes are close to Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center, making healthcare easy to reach if it's ever needed in a hurry, and family members often value this comfort. Residents enjoy indoor and outdoor common areas, beauty salon and barber services, and ongoing support from staff who know how to help seniors deal with the emotional choices that come with aging. There's always 24-hour supervision and a call system for emergencies, so everyone stays as safe as possible. Ocean Gardens 1 & 2 blend the feel of living at home with trained support, and families looking for a mid-sized senior community find the focus on small comforts and real care helpful, without feeling overwhelmed by a big crowd, and that helps keep the atmosphere relaxed and personal for the folks living there.
