Mia the director is simply the most vibrant, competent person I’ve met in a LONG time. I chose this place because every time I went there to view a room, fill out paperwork, do some type of business, residents were happy and talking to each other. The staff was all engaged with the residents. The amount of communication between everyone was comforting, and everybody wanted to be there and do an excellent job. My mom is moving in there in a week and we are so excited to be a part of this Brookdale family. By the way, food is amazing and the cleanliness is impeccable… They are also doing AMAZING Work now with some cosmetic things. Lots of attention to detail.🙏❤️

Brookdale Santa Monica Gardens is very nice. Great staff. The manager Mia has gone out of her way to be helpful and accommodating. The nursing staff is wonderful, especially Sandy. Other staff we appreciate are Ashley, Sergio and Javier.

Agree---Brookdale isn't cheap but the staff and facility are incredible. My 96 year old Father says the food is fantastic and the nurses and assistants are all friendly and caring. His health has improved since arriving. Location is excellent and we cannot express our gratitude enough to the team.

Please be aware and do yourself and your loved ones a big favor. Do not waste your time or money at this facility. They charge the residents so much and they have raised the rent but do not provide services according to the residents' needs. This facility is very unorganized and it is short-staffed. Residents are angry and unhappy since they pay extra for care services but do not get attended to on time and often have to wait long to be cared for due to shortage of staff. This place is very much after money and is so poorly run. There is no leaderhsip amd no stability at this facility and management keeps on changing as they leave frequently.
Please do your research wisely!

Santa Monica Gardens is a wonderful place for my mother. She is in a great circle of friends, has plenty of fun and intellectual activites, and professional caring staff. The only reason I haven’t given 5 stars is because of the ongoing elevator problems that have plagued Santa Monica Gardens again and again during my mother’s three years here. If Brookdale can go a year without a major elevator delay, I’ll gladly give this wonderful place 5 stars.
