Very fine residents at Brookdale Santa Monica Gardens. Mia the director is wonderful and the staff and nurses are amazing as well. We enjoy sitting outside under the sun and watching all those lovely flowers in the front courtyard. Also, there are many wonderful performances here, there’s singing, dancing, and great guitars. It’s all joyful being here for us! Resident ambassador Charles is amazing with Poetry every week and resident Rose is amazing with book club discussions. I love living here!!!

After many years of struggles here at Brookdale Santa Monica Gardens finally we have a wonderful Director who is young, smart and beautiful. Executive Director Mia improves not only my life but the lives of everyone in this community. I enjoy this location because I can walk to the ocean every day and I also enjoy shopping in the various boutiques along Montana avenue. I am very pleased with the staff, they are amazing, friendly and warm everyday. I still enjoy my independence and the main reason I keep returning to this community it's because I know when my time comes to get higher care, the staff here will take good care of me.

Total Garbage. As of 10/26/2024 both of their main elevators are out and are not being repaired promptly. (The first one has been out for over two weeks.) This seems unconscionable since it services elderly that can’t really use stairs. How is this allowed to happen for safety?
Seems like the facility’s finances and management decisions are also questionable as they are unable to afford or prioritize timely elevator repairs for their multi-story building of elderly residence. It also appears to be severely understaffed for the cost.

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.
