Why we like it

Santa Monica Home & Care 3 is a 6-bed residential care home on 10th Street in Santa Monica, privately owned and operated for over 29 years.

  • Excellent safety record

    The FYI Safety Score™ is 9.9 out of 10 (Excellent), with zero citations and zero complaints across state visits. This is about as clean a record as exists — a reflection of careful, compliant care.

  • Ownership team with unusual depth of expertise

    A retired UCLA professor, a culinary arts graduate, a professional artist as activity director, and an LVN as manager. This is not a typical care home leadership team — it's a group that brings medical knowledge, culinary skill, creative programming, and nursing expertise under one roof.

  • Dedicated cook with culinary arts training

    One of the owners holds a culinary arts degree and the home employs a separate cook who prepares fresh meals daily with tray service and adjusted meal times. Families have noted the quality of food as a standout feature.

  • Prime Santa Monica location with garden setting

    On 10th Street in Santa Monica, in a gated community with fenced yards. The garden setting offers residents outdoor time in a secure environment, and the location puts visiting family near Santa Monica's restaurants and beach.

  • Santa Monica commands premium pricing

    A privately-owned, well-staffed care home in a prime Santa Monica location will be priced accordingly. This is a premium neighborhood and the quality of the ownership team and setting will be reflected in the cost.

  • Only 6 beds with high demand likely

    Given the location, safety record, and unique ownership team, availability may be limited. If you're interested, don't wait to inquire — small homes with great reputations in desirable areas fill quickly.
