Sunrise of Hermosa Beach is a 142-bed senior living community on Pacific Coast Highway offering assisted living, memory care, and short-term stays. Part of the national Sunrise Senior Living chain, the community features ocean views, chef-crafted cuisine, and a range of floor plans from studios to two-bedrooms.
S. News & World Report recognition for both Best Assisted Living and Best Memory Care in 2025, and holds WELL Health-Safety and WELL Equity ratings.
Beachside location with actual ocean views
Situated on Pacific Coast Highway between Hermosa Beach Pier and Manhattan Beach, this is one of the few senior living communities in LA where residents can enjoy real ocean scenery. Close to cultural events, dining, and two major medical centers.
Award-recognized for both assisted living and memory care
Earned U.S. News & World Report's Best Assisted Living and Best Memory Care designations for 2025, plus WELL Health-Safety and WELL Equity ratings. Awards don't tell the full story, but multiple recognitions across different categories suggest consistent quality.
Multiple floor plans for different needs and budgets
Assisted living ranges from studios to two-bedrooms. Memory care includes studios, one-bedrooms, and companion suites. Having options means families can find the right balance of space and cost without switching communities.
Backed by Sunrise Senior Living's national infrastructure
As part of one of the largest senior living operators in the country, residents benefit from standardized care protocols, CareConnect healthcare coordination, and a family engagement app. Corporate backing means resources and accountability.
Large-scale community with 142 beds
This is a sizeable operation. Common areas, dining, and activities will be shared with many residents. If your loved one prefers a small, quiet, home-like environment, the scale and energy of this community may not be the right fit.
National chain means standardized, not bespoke
Sunrise operates communities across the country with consistent branding and protocols. You get reliability and professionalism, but less of the personalized, owner-operated character that some families prefer. Ask about local management tenure and decision-making autonomy.
Premium coastal pricing
A beachfront Hermosa Beach address means premium costs across all care levels and floor plans. The location is genuinely special, but families should review the pricing section carefully and understand the full monthly cost including any care-level fees.
