Ocean Gardens V sits in Santa Monica, California, and has a small, homelike setting for up to six residents, so people get plenty of attention from staff who help with daily needs, such as dressing, bathing, and managing medicines, all in a tidy residential care home that feels much like a regular house and not at all like a big center. The place offers different types of living spaces-residents can choose private suites or shared rooms, and each one's got air conditioning, private or shared bathrooms, kitchenettes, and furnishings, with telephone, cable, and internet available. Meals can include organic, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, low-sodium, and low-sugar options, with the staff serving one or two meals daily, plus snacks, and there's help with feeding for anybody who needs it, all in a central dining area.
There's memory care for people with dementia or Alzheimer's, plus help for those who can't move around as easily or need incontinence care, and staff watch over everyone at all hours, with both security and personal support. Residents can join in activities like fitness classes, group gatherings, social visits, religious services, movies in the theater room, walks in the garden, computer time, or reading in the library, and the staff arranges transportation to medical appointments when needed. Housekeeping, laundry, and linen service are part of daily life, and safety is a big focus-there's a 24-hour emergency system, inside the building, and even specialized care plans for people with certain conditions like Parkinson's. Living here means people can expect help with whatever daily tasks come up, whether it's picking out clothes, taking medicine, or even just having someone close by for a little extra support, and with so few residents, people often find it easier to make friends and settle in.
