Brookdale Ocean House is very nice. The rooms are clean and airy. The staff is excellent. It's very nice. The care people are good. I have only been here for two months, but I would rate them high. It's just very pleasant to live here. Well, right now, they're just getting over COVID, so there aren't too many activities. Food is OK. I think the value of money is fair. I like the room that I'm in and I like the staff.

We really liked Brookdale Santa Monica, but it was expensive. They gave us some really nice cookies when we left. The staff member was very friendly and was nice enough when we realized that this was way outside my mother's price range. She printed out information about other places that my mom could check in to. They didn't have a designated smoking area and that wouldn't work for my mom. The building was quite nice with nice furnishings in the entryway. She took us first up to the top floor where they have their outdoor patio and their activity areas. The atmosphere was very nice. They had a chapel, church services, a theater, and a dining room, which was really nice.

I am in independent living at Ocean House (Brookdale Santa Monica). My feelings are favorable and I like it here. I chose it because I like the location of it overlooking Santa Monica Bay and Santa Monica mountain. I'm up on the 7th floor which is high up to get a view of things. The atmosphere is more upbeat than some other place and seemed to have fewer rules and such. They're quite flexible as far as eating goes and we have a French chef now.

My uncle is living in Brookdale Santa Monica. He likes the food and says it's very good. I like the idea that he is somewhere safe and that it's close by, so when he needs anything, it's easy for me to respond. They do scenic tours and take them out occasionally for a meal at a restaurant. They bring in music and other performers, lectures, brain exercise classes, and sometimes they have little socials and parties. They have a decent number of activities and serve three meals a day.

Brookdale Santa Monica was a very nice place, located in a nice part of the town, and not too far from the beach. It was a very attractive place to stay. I was very impressed with it. The staff was quite good and seemed to know their job very well. There were nice places to walk around and there's a shopping place not far away. Their activities were very good where they get a lot of inputs from their residents.

We visited Brookdale Santa Monica. It was lovely and right near the beach. The rooms were adequate although they were not the best we’ve seen because they don’t have a kitchen built in. They do have different activities, like happy hour, a computer center, and scenic drives. The person who gave me the tour was lovely. I would recommend this place, but they need to update their rooms.

Brookdale Santa Monica was really nice and had all of apartments in one building. One of the staff member was nice but wasn’t quite enthusiastic. The dining facility was on the first floor and looked like it was well run. I saw a one-bedrooom apartment that looked sort of standard with a bed and a few cabinets.

We really liked Brookdale Santa Monica. The environment, the rooms, and the staff were all terrific. The rooms were very nice; the nicest we've ever seen, in fact. They were spacious with beautiful views and floor-to-ceiling windows. They were lovely. It is the only facility we have visited that has a dining room open all day.

My parent is in Brookdale Santa Monica, and it seems to be a good fit for what we are looking for. It is in a good location, and the amenities are the kinds of things that we are looking for. All of the staff has been very nice. The apartment is nice, and everyone is happy with it. We try the food, and mom thinks it is OK. They have options for her, which is really good, and there's an option with anyone who wants to eat with them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's not like an extraordinary menu by any means, but it's edible.
We chose it because it is short term. We want something short term to try out, and there is no deposit, so that is also a bonus. Its location is amazing for us because it's very close to where we live so that's great. However, I think the food can be better. Like I say it is edible, but it is not anything to get excited about.

Brookdale Santa Monica was a beautiful place, but a little expensive. It had more of an organization with a little more formula in what they do with the people than just the room they put you in. It was more like a dormitory from a housing point of view. They're exceptional in their activities.

I think the Ocean house has a beautiful view of Santa Monica pier, the ocean and the beach and everything. It seemed very clean and nice, and they seemed to be good to the patients. It seemed to have more than the other places and the people I had contact with seemed nice.

What I love about Ocean House are the views and that the rooms are large. The community room is gorgeous. It has a library, books, and a view of the ocean. There are balconies off the rooms and in the rooms; it’s like one wall with glass looking out on the ocean. It is gorgeous. The lady who took me around was very knowledgeable, very nice, very interested in my mom and dad. Everyone we encountered, from the receptionist to the staff, was friendly and nice. Even the people who lived there came up and were talking to me, and everybody was smiling. It was just very nice.

My parents are in Ocean House. It is the best place. They are very sweet, kind and they really love my parents. They take good care of them. They have been there two or three months now and they really enjoy it. It has the view of the Pacific and it's like you're in Hawaii.

I love the facility. It is in an area that is convenient to everyone. As you arrive you have very nice parking available. I liked the greeters when you first arrive who make you feel at home. Everyone had a smile and gave a tour of the place. It seemed that everyone in the place had an activity to do. Some just watched tv and others were all engaged with one another. I've seen many homes, but I was delighted by this one.

The Ocean House (managed by Brookdale Living) was right on the Santa Monica beach... which makes this a place that I hope to retire in one day. :)
The building was very tall - which makes for a great view from the top floor windows. The food looked amazing (and my client said that "it tastes great too"). The interior was well-decorated and clean - and didn't have the musty smell like a lot of elderly care facilities have.
The staff were friendly and very helpful - it seemed more like a Hilton Hotel than any type of elderly center.
I would highly recommend this facility to anyone in the LA / Santa Monica area.
