After visiting many memory care, facilities, we are very happy with Welbrook. My sister is very well cared for. She is always well dressed, clean, well fed, entertained, and has a nice room. The caregivers are very caring. The activities are many, and the entertainment is just wonderful. The staff are efficient, sufficient, and friendly. I think it’s a great place.

End of life care

I wouldn’t put my worst enemy in Wellbrook. My sister in law entered wellbook as a hospice resident. Hospice should be a comfort to patient and family. Unfortunately the manager of Wellbrook, [name removed], didn’t care that it was my sister in laws end of life. Instead of encouraging her husband to spend as much time as he would like, [name removed] did just the opposite. He resented that my sister in law had a husband that wanted to be with his wife, the woman he deeply loved. [name removed] actually told my bother that he should go away & they’ll take care of everything. Except they didn’t. I would never suggest to anyone that Wellbrook was great facility.

Review for Welbrook Santa Monica

With 13 months stay so far our experience is good except for her adjustment to the new environment. I picked this community because of a referral from A Place for Mom.

Review for Welbrook Santa Monica

The common area and dining room are a bit limited compared to other facilities but seems to be just fine for memory care residents. They have activities throughout the day that keeps them engaged.

Wellbrook Hit s A Homerun

This has been an amazing experience. The community sends a note to me each night to let me know what my loved one has done each day. This allows the family to know what our loved one has been up to. I would highly recommend the community to others for their loved ones. My loved one feels at home and is happy here and this is so important to the family!

Admin Staff are Terrible

The administrative staff at this place are terrible. [name removed] the ED is obtuse and [name removed] the Operations VP clearly got promoted based on tenure, not skill. Both are horrible at problem resolution.

Bedbugs

They take really good care of the residents at this community. They are also very helpful with the family members. They have activities like educational programs, crosswords, music entertainment and more for the residents to do. They also go on neighborhood walks.

Tacky

I had a tour with them. For the price they’re charging per month, not worth it.
