Welbrook Santa Monica is a memory care community that helps seniors with Alzheimer's and other types of dementia, and the campus is modern, secure, and has a warm, home-like feeling with comfortable private studios, clean bathrooms, and inviting dining spaces, and you can see photos of the facilities and amenities when you stop in for a personal tour, and the community takes care to keep outdoor spaces landscaped and accessible, with gardens, walking paths, and spots to sit and enjoy the sun or do horticultural activities. Staff members speak English, Spanish, and French, and many have specialized dementia training through the Nationally Certified Dementia Practitioner program, so they know how to tailor care, support daily routines, and use their Meaningful Moments Program to help residents find purpose and comfort every day, and there's a nurse on staff, with around-the-clock supervision, and the Vigil System quietly keeps an eye on safety with sensors that alert caregivers without bothering residents. Residents get help with medication, activities of daily living, and have access to onsite medical care, therapies, and help from concierge doctors, home health, pharmacy, and hospice, and here's where you see accommodations for all sorts of needs, from memory care, assisted living, independent living, and skilled nursing, to continuing care retirement community options, so seniors can age in place as their needs change. The campus has big, bright common spaces for socializing, areas to do arts, crafts, music, games, and educational programs, plus a computer room, entertainment features, outings, and fitness facilities that include stretches, Tai Chi, yoga, and even a hot tub spa, and you'll find nutritious meals served in the main dining room or as room service, with special diets for diabetes, low salt, vegetarian preferences, and more. Transportation helps with errands, medical appointments, and outings, and the place is gated for added security. The residences offer Wi-Fi, cable TV, personalized laundry and housekeeping, and are new construction with suite choices so residents can make their space feel like home. The community is listed under RCFE license #197609336, and provides financing and payment plans to help families manage costs, and the staff-including personal care assistants, part-time nurse oversight, and companion care-are friendly and on hand day and night, helping make daily life easier and as independent as possible. The environment feels carefully crafted, clean, and nurturing, with a focus on supporting seniors through each day with meaningful activities, individualized care plans, and safe surroundings, all within walking distance to a veteran's hospital and major medical centers, and you'll see residents taking part in gardening, field trips, stretching classes, group meals, and quiet time as they wish, with space for guests and families to visit comfortably.
Welbrook Santa Monica
1450 17th St, Santa Monica, CA, 90404- Assisted living
- Memory care
Excellent dementia care, administrative concerns
I moved my mom into Welbrook for 13 months and overall I'm grateful - the staff are loving, professional and skilled in memory care, communication is excellent (regular updates), the facility is spotless, rooms are private, food is great and residents stay active with many engaging activities and outings. That said, we had a troubling cleanliness/bedbug incident, limited common/dining space, a high monthly price and serious issues with administration/management and problem resolution that made me wary. In short: excellent hands-on care and a welcoming, safe environment for dementia care, but weigh the cost and administrative concerns before deciding.
