How does A Place for Mom score Savant of Santa Monica?

A Place for Mom has scored Savant of Santa Monica 8.9 out of 10 using our proprietary review score. We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care. Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.

Great food, nice staff, happy to be there

Six months ago, my aunt moved into Savant of Santa Monica, and I can truly say it was the best decision for her well-being. From the moment we walked in, the warmth and professionalism of the staff made us feel at ease. The care team is attentive, kind, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure residents feel comfortable and engaged. Since [name removed] became the new Executive Director, we’ve noticed an even bigger improvement. He’s brought great leadership, fresh energy, and a commitment to making the community feel like home. From better communication with families to thoughtful enhancements in dining and activities, his presence is making a real difference. The environment is clean, inviting, and filled with a sense of community. My aunt loves the social events, delicious meals, and the friendships she’s made. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing she’s in a place where she is not only cared for but thriving. If you’re looking for a senior living community that truly

Amazing Hospitality and Warm Staff

I’m thrilled to share my positive experience with my uncle, a resident at Savant of Santa Monica. His warm spirit is perfectly matched by the vibrant, caring community that surrounds him. The residents, staff, and overall environment create a truly nurturing home where every individual is celebrated and supported. I am incredibly proud that my uncle is part of such a wonderful community—one that not only enhances his quality of life but also stands as a shining example of compassionate senior living.

The staff there is great!! All staff members there are very lovely and helpful. The moving in process was easy. Also, I've seen the meals. They are fine. I would recommend this facility to others. The only thing they need to do is just upgrade a little. It's a little tired looking, but according to the Director, they are in the process of remodeling. Overall, it's a great place.

Its okay for the price.

The food is terrible. They just have really inexpensive cheeses, and they'll serve cheese dishes three days in a row. The housekeepers are friendly and nice though. Really it was the Santa Monica weather and the cost that got me to move in here. I got one of the bigger units, so I'm really happy with it. They do offer activities here, although I haven't participated in much.

A Welcome Gem in Santa Monica

Comfortable and pleasant the Holiday Villa East has a spacious dining room service three meals a day-nothing fancy, but tasty and nutritious with yummy desserts.

Beds are made every morning and wastebaskets are emptied daily. Staff members are friendly and helpful. Coin-operated washers and dryers are available on property and staff members are available to do laundry for a small fee. Medication dispersion is available for an additional fee.

My loved one is there and I told her that I would live there also if it came down to it. The only problem that we have is with management and follow up with resident request and consistent office coverage. The room is perfect for my loved one it is large and has the bathroom and balcony and is bright for my loved one.

Good experience

We chose Holiday Villa East because of the location, the value for the money, as well as we figured it would be a good fit for mom. The apartment sizes at the facility are good. I think they need to improve on the quality of foods that they serve to the residents. Overall it is an excellent place and staff are really really nice. I would definitely recommend.

My Mom & I recently toured this lovely establishment. [name removed], the current manager, was very courteous & friendly. It is an independant living community, which provides entertainment, physical activities & short trips to their residents. The building has been recently renovated, giving it a lively & youngish feel to it. We were treated to both a delicious breakfast & lunch. The rooms were airy & bright. The visit was very enjoyable & when mom decides, I'm sure she will pick Holiday Villa East.

I'm Extremly Pleased

I love it here at Holiday Villa East. This is an independent living community, and I find it is like a hotel for seniors with meals included. The staff at Holiday Villas do an exceptionally good job, and they are all very nice. The food here is some of the best I've had in these kind of facilities, however, they do not serve food between mealtimes unless requested. I've met a lot of new people here, and I have one friend in particular that I meet with quite often for games of Rummy Cube and Mahjong. I'm very comfortable here, and I couldn't be more pleased.

I knew as soon as I walked in that this community was not going to be a good fit for my mother. The community was very dated and depressing. They had no designated areas for activities or a specified common room to watch tv or read. It was just a simple very slow paced community not a lot going on. There were residents sleeping not doing much of anything. The staff was nice and very friendly

Very nice and great location. Seems like it could work. The little bigger ones would be better but only on 2nd floor. Main level with slider to patio nice. 2 sitting areas and dining room pleasant.

A good value for Santa Monica

While the staff is very friendly overall, there really isn't much 'assistance' here unless you hire caregivers to attend to your loved one's needs. If your senior relative needs help in the shower, that will be an extra charge. Medications to be given - that will incur a charge. The facility needs a walk-in soaking tub that residents can make a reservation for and have assistance. Sometimes a person's joints hurt and a good hot bath would help. There is a 'shower' room on the second floor that could be converted to a bath room - that would be a needed amenity. If a senior has a private caregiver to help them, they cannot partake of the outings unless there is room for the caregiver, so that is a bummer. Sometimes dinner portions could be larger also - especially of favorites like mashed potatoes. I don't recall if there was a pizza night, but that might be a good idea to liven up things. A good value in a great locale, but anything you might think is included is not, and the little extras will add up. Parking can also be a problem if you come during popular visiting hours, as the garage is rented out to another business and there is limited guest parking. The street parking in Santa Monica is worse, so you are lucky if you can get parking downstairs and probably shouldn't complain. The carpet needs to be cleaned better, as one area looks like it has yellow, indebted vomit. When the carpet is cleaned, it seems to only be with water.

Great place for mom

Great value. Very clean. Nice rooms. Very friendly and accommodating. Meals are not great and could be greatly improved but breakfasts are very good. Safe community and close to everything, including hospitals, doctors, restaurants, banks, shopping.

Nice, clean and accommodating

This place turned out to be a great place for Mom. It is clean, and safe environment. The staff is caring and very accommodating. Although my mom feels she is "too young" for this place, she is willing to give it a try. Our family feels it is a wonderful place should she need additional care, they will help with that. Right now she is very independent. The food is ok but they do give a variety.
