Santa Monica Health Care Center is dedicated to delivering compassionate and comprehensive care within a pleasant and comfortable environment. The facility provides skilled nursing services that focus not only on meeting residents’ medical needs but also on ensuring a high quality of life at all times. The center’s philosophy emphasizes treating each resident as a member of an extended family, fostering a sense of community and connection among residents, their loved ones, and staff members alike.
The care provided at Santa Monica Health Care Center is available around the clock, with professional staff present 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This constant support is designed to offer both peace of mind and continuous attention to residents’ changing health requirements. The commitment to staff welfare is equally strong; employees are valued and supported in a professional environment that encourages growth and dedication. Team members are regarded as “dedicated heroes,” especially those who serve in specialized units, reflecting the importance placed on both their well-being and their essential role within the community.
During the challenges presented by infectious disease outbreaks, Santa Monica Health Care Center has implemented extensive infection control policies and procedures. One of the key components of this response is a dedicated COVID unit within the facility. This self-contained space is designated for residents who are either suspected or confirmed to be positive for the COVID-19 virus, ensuring that infection control is maintained and residents’ safety is prioritized. Staff who work within the COVID unit for a particular shift remain exclusive to that area during the shift, and if a staff member transitions from the COVID unit to other sections of the center, they are required to undergo a thorough screening process, including showering and changing clothes.
The health and well-being of both residents and staff remain the highest priorities at Santa Monica Health Care Center. The leadership team continuously monitors the latest information and recommendations from public health authorities and strives to align the center’s practices with established guidance. The intent is to protect the center’s community and to facilitate the safe reunion of residents and their family members when visitations are resumed. Through adaptability, adherence to best practices, and a heartfelt belief in community, Santa Monica Health Care Center aims to provide an environment where every resident feels cared for and every employee feels appreciated.
