Brookdale Ocean House

You can't beat the location. It's very expensive and a little dated. The staff is kind and I haven't heard any complaints about the food. The piano is key for my aunt. It would be nice if there was a pool for some pool therapy. The parking is a drawback. Visitors have to pay for street parking which can get expensive and at times difficult to find.

Happy with our choice

The staff are helpful and polite. Getting adjusted to new surroundings and lifestyle was made much easier for my dad with the courteous and readily available staff at Brookdale. He has become confident and comfortable there.

Brookdale Ocean House review

Residents are very welcoming and kind, they want to include us. The rooms are redone before you move in, they offer so much help to get your things organized and just the way you want them, the staff is amazing. They are working on vegetarian options for meals.

Great Place for Retirement Living

We highly recommend Ocean House , if you have only minimal needs for assistance, of if you just want a really lovely community around you in your home at the beach! The facility is beautiful, and some of the views are spectacular. The food is excellent, and everyone we encountered working there was friendly, caring and hard-working. The only drawback? If you need medications or like being taken to meals in the dining room at specific times, you may have to wait a while. The caregivers worked very hard, but it seemed like there just weren’t enough of them. I know they were actively looking to hire while we were there, and they were clearly concerned about hiring only the best. This place is ideal if you are basically independent, and if you take advantage of the many activities and opportunities for fun.

My Review of Brookdale Ocean House

The community is sometimes short on staff. The Executive Director always has an open door to discuss things with anybody. They have activities available for the residents and some include: bridge, blackjack, mahjong and more for the residents.

Ocean view but lack of care

I am. current resident, since [date removed], and have had nothing but trouble, though the view is spectacular, and dining serves are GREAT. Several residents and I wrote a new slogan for Ocean House that sums up my experience: Brookdale Ocean House: A Place You Can Go to Die Alone In Your Apartment With No One Noticing; BUT At Least You Have An Ocean View!!! Beware. Protect you loved one and go somewhere that will care about them, and protect them.

Rooms are claustrophobic small and there's no possibility of cooking even a small meal in the room. They provide a small fridge inside the closet. Won't work for us but the facility has a lot to offer otherwise.

Care and comfort for dad

I like this community for the care for my father. the staff have always been nice and let me know if there are any changes. the community is clean and the atmosphere is nice. The menu of health meals are appealing. We like that he is active with the other residetns. We would highly recommend the care and the value of the community to other families.

I think that the Brookdale Santa Monica facility makes some pretty good food for the residents that are living there and the staff members serving it are nice. It is just absolutely a beautiful location as well.
