Why we like it

Brookdale Ocean House is a 150-bed assisted living and memory care community at 2107 Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica — just blocks from the Pacific Ocean. Operated by Brookdale Senior Living, it features a rooftop patio with ocean views, pet-friendly apartments, a therapy room, and amenities including a theater, billiards room, and putting green.

The community has been operating for 20 years.

  • Strong safety record

    Among the cleaner records in the state: 1 serious and 8 minor citations across 26 state inspections, with 8 verified complaints. A record this consistent is one of the clearest signs a home is well-run.

  • Ocean views from a Santa Monica rooftop

    Located on Ocean Avenue, this community offers what few assisted living facilities in LA can — a rooftop patio with actual ocean views and coastal air. For residents who love the beach, this location is genuinely special.

  • Both assisted living and memory care available

    The community offers both assisted living and memory care, meaning residents can transition to specialized cognitive support without leaving the building. That continuity avoids the trauma of relocating to an unfamiliar facility.

  • 20 years of continuous operation

    Licensed since 2005, this community has had two decades to establish itself in one of LA's most desirable neighborhoods. Ask about staff tenure and long-term resident satisfaction.

  • Strong amenity mix with unique features

    A therapy room, putting green, theater, billiards, greenhouse/gardening area, and fireside living room go beyond the standard amenity checklist. These spaces suggest investment in quality of life, not just care basics.

  • Santa Monica pricing is among the highest in LA

    Ocean Avenue real estate doesn't come cheap, and that's reflected in the monthly costs. Check the pricing section carefully and compare against communities even a few miles inland where rates can be significantly lower.

  • 150 beds in an urban setting

    This is a mid-to-large community on a constrained urban lot. Outdoor space is limited to the rooftop, courtyard, and landscaped areas — there's no sprawling campus here. If your loved one values room to roam, the location tradeoff is real.

  • Brookdale corporate experience may vary locally

    Brookdale's national brand provides infrastructure and protocols, but the day-to-day resident experience depends heavily on local management. Ask about the current Executive Director's tenure and read recent reviews.
