Why we like it

Casa Dorinda is a 360-bed nonprofit continuing care retirement community in the Montecito area of Santa Barbara, widely regarded as one of California's most prestigious retirement communities. Set in one of the state's most beautiful and exclusive neighborhoods, it offers a full continuum of care on a sprawling campus.

  • Excellent safety record

    With an FYI Safety Score of 9.4 out of 9.9, this facility maintains a strong inspection history.

  • Nonprofit CCRC model

    As a nonprofit continuing care retirement community, Casa Dorinda reinvests in its residents and campus rather than generating shareholder returns.

  • Montecito/Santa Barbara setting

    Located in one of California's most desirable and exclusive communities, with year-round mild weather, mountain and ocean views, and world-class dining and culture.

  • Large campus with full continuum

    At 360 beds, the community has the scale to offer independent living through skilled nursing, extensive amenities, and rich social programming.

  • CCRC buy-in structure

    Continuing care communities typically require a significant entrance fee. Given its Montecito location and reputation, costs are likely at the premium end. Contact the community directly for current pricing.
