Cottage Home I and II

Cottage Home I and II sit in a quiet area of Santa Monica, at 1249 23rd Street, and they've built themselves to support seniors who need assisted living, memory care, or even hospice care, and with their licensed capacity for up to six residents it never feels crowded or loud, actually, it's the sort of small, home-like spot where folks might choose from semi-private, private, and studio room options, all furnished and ready for different needs or privacy preferences. Seniors get daily help with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and hygiene, and if someone needs memory care because of Alzheimer's or another form of dementia, there's a team trained for round-the-clock support, offering secure environments to help prevent wandering, and their activities and programs are made just for memory support, which means staff can keep things structured and gentle, with music and animal therapy, tabletop games, outdoor trips, reading rooms, and memory-enhancing activities. The community plans daily events, movie nights, workout sessions, art and music hours, and social evenings, and there's even on-site things like a hot tub, sauna, beauty shop, and fitness room, which is nice for those who want to stay busy or relaxed, and they provide three home-cooked meals each day, catering to medical needs like diabetes or high blood pressure if someone needs special food, and incontinence care is handled, too. The no-smoking policy stands everywhere inside the home, staff help with mobility, getting in and out of baths, plus transportation coordination is available for medical appointments, errands, or faith-based outings, and there's complimentary rides and parking, which can help families a lot. Residents can also get respite care if their regular caregiver needs a break, and if someone has more complex needs-like insulin help or two-person transfers-the family should check direct with Cottage Home I and II to confirm what they can provide, since every resident's situation is different. The property is regulated by California's Department of Social Services, and its location near hospitals, pharmacies, parks, churches, restaurants, and cafes makes it easy for folks to stay connected to local life. The home's small size and focus mean staff can keep care plans personal, help everyone feel at home, and create a safe, comfortable setting, whether for long-term needs, short stays, or memory challenges, and compared with bigger places nearby like Ocean Gardens or Berkley East Healthcare Center, Cottage Home I and II hold onto that close-knit, comfortable neighborhood feel. For anyone looking for a quieter, supported senior living spot in Santa Monica with a focus on dignity and independence, Cottage Home I and II offer that, with a caring, well-trained group of people on hand.
