Recent reviews of Independent Living in Santa Monica, CA
Sunrise at Palos Verdes in Torrance, CA
5.0

We picked this community because of, the quality of staff, and the ability to meet needs of both my loved ones. Mom is treated with dignity and encouraged to participate in activities. The staff are loving and attentive. Dad has found community outside the memory care side, which is where they both live for mom's care.

Belmont Village Hollywood Hills in Los Angeles, CA
4.4

Although we got mixed signals about whether our loved one could take their own meds or needed them distributed we are so glad they could take us in on such short notice and that sense informs all answered. It is a friendly place.

Garden of Palms in Los Angeles, CA
4.3

Garden of Palms community is absolutely lovely. The meals and dining service is excellent, and they activities they have for the residents are also excellent. We would absolutely recommend this community to others.
