Welbrook Santa Monica offers dedicated Memory Care for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, including advanced stages. The community accepts residents who wander and provides monitoring both in the morning and evening. A nurse is on call 24 hours a day, and care teams can accommodate residents under 60, support special diets, and manage diabetics on oral medication. Clinical oversight is reinforced by an on-site therapy room, giving residents convenient access to rehabilitative services without leaving the building.
Daily support extends to full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer help is available for those who use walkers or wheelchairs, require standby supervision, or need a one-person lift. An Activity Director coordinates purposeful programs suited to cognitive abilities, while 24-hour security staff and a fenced rear area reduce elopement risks. Continuous staffing ensures that help is always nearby, whether for scheduled care tasks or unscheduled needs.
Residences are designed for practicality and comfort. Many suites include a private bathroom, independent temperature controls, and cable access, and all receive regular housekeeping and scheduled laundry service; however, not every accommodation contains every listed feature, so prospective residents should verify specific room layouts during a visit.
Meals are prepared on a set menu with the option to order alternates at each sitting. Snacks are available throughout the day, and residents may choose in-room dining when preferred. A private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings. The culinary staff manages diet modifications such as gluten-free, mechanical-chop, puréed, thickened-liquid, and vegetarian plans, working closely with clinical staff to ensure nutritional goals are met.
The campus is wheelchair accessible and includes a barber and beauty shop, internet access, communal gardens, a concierge desk, and a library. Scheduled transportation is provided for medical appointments, errands, and group outings, supporting residents who no longer drive.
