Why we like it

CityView is a 166-bed senior living community in the Mid-Wilshire/Beverly Grove area of Los Angeles, adjacent to Beverly Hills and Hollywood. It offers independent living, assisted living, and a dedicated memory care wing called The Court, with separate floors for early-stage and late-stage dementia.

The community positions itself as upscale but price-competitive, with chef-prepared cuisine, intellectually stimulating outings, freshly designed suites, housekeeping, and laundry included. It participates in the Assisted Living Waiver (Medi-Cal) program.

  • Prime central LA location

    Adjacent to Beverly Hills and Hollywood, close to Cedars-Sinai, Kaiser, The Grove, and the Original Farmer's Market. Residents aren't isolated in a suburb — they're in one of the most connected, walkable parts of Los Angeles.

  • Two-level memory care program

    The Court has dedicated floors for early-stage and late-stage memory loss. The 3rd floor serves residents with early cognitive decline; the 4th floor handles advanced Alzheimer's and dementia. This tiered approach means care can adapt as needs change without requiring a facility move.

  • Accepts Medi-Cal through the ALW program

    For a community that markets itself as upscale, ALW participation is notable. It opens the door for eligible residents to access a premium-location community at reduced cost.

  • Locally owned, not a national chain

    CityView is one of three locally-owned sister communities, sharing a common goal of service excellence. Local ownership often means more responsive management and community-specific decision-making.

  • 166 beds is a large community

    CityView describes itself as 'large enough to offer ample opportunity for socializing and small enough that you won't feel like a big chain community.' Test that claim during your visit — at 166 beds, it's still a sizeable operation.

  • Website feels dated and marketing-heavy

    The website uses phrases like 'Voted Best Value' without clear sourcing, and the content reads more like advertising than information. Ask for specifics during your tour: staffing ratios, actual meal menus, activity calendars, and care plan details.
