Ocean Gardens III and IV sit in Santa Monica, California, where the community focuses on both assisted living and memory care for seniors. The facility, part of Ocean Gardens IV, LLC, holds a local license with the number 197608921 and offers six beds for residents. Inside, there are shared apartments, one-bedroom units, and studios, all with grab bars, non-slip floors, in-room pull cords, and panic or call buttons for safety, with an emphasis on more private and homelike spaces than large institutions. The rooms allow pets, and staff help with daily activities like dressing, bathing, and managing medications, including incontinence care and Parkinson's care. Trained staff and registered nurses perform monthly health check-ups and regular preventative screenings. There's a special focus on memory care using secure environments, reduced confusion, and support for seniors with Alzheimer's or other kinds of dementia through custom care plans and activity programs.
The community sits near hospitals, medical offices, and pharmacies, so residents and families find peace of mind knowing help is close by. Residents have access to a large dining room, a reading room, games room, a beauty shop and barber, a wellness center, and amenities like arts and crafts studios and a communal kitchen. Ocean Gardens III and IV provide nutritious meal options, including vegetarian, kosher, and organic foods, all prepared by chefs and meal planners, with attention to health and individual needs. Families and residents can use shared outdoor spaces like landscaped walking paths, porches, and a secure courtyard, which offer fresh air and a sense of calm.
Staff offer on-site and off-site transportation for outings, local appointments, and group trips. The community sits close to parks, restaurants, theaters, places of worship, and other Santa Monica amenities, so residents are still very much part of their neighborhood. Apartment upkeep, linen service, and laundry are included, so daily chores don't get in the way of living. Ocean Gardens III and IV have special programs and events, social gatherings, and activities for both body and mind, including games and educational experiences, which help residents connect with each other and keep up healthy routines. The facility isn't certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, so Medicare isn't accepted, but local oversight holds the facility to certain care standards. Ocean Gardens III and IV is a good fit for people who want personalized care in a more intimate, private setting with a focus on both safety and comfort for elderly residents.
