Good Shepherd Health Care Center of Santa Monica

Good Shepherd Health Care Center of Santa Monica, located at 1131 Arizona Avenue in the vibrant downtown core of Santa Monica, CA, offers skilled nursing care in one of the most centrally positioned and culturally rich settings on the Westside. Overseen by owners Il & Joan Lee, who bring a deeply personal commitment to resident welfare and quality outcomes, this facility provides expert post-acute rehabilitation, long-term nursing care, and specialized clinical services in an environment that values dignity, compassion, and family involvement. The Arizona Avenue address in the 90401 zip code puts residents and their families within walking distance of some of Santa Monica's most iconic destinations. The Third Street Promenade — one of Southern California's premier outdoor shopping and dining destinations — is just blocks away. Santa Monica Place offers upscale retail and dining, while Tongva Park provides a beautifully designed green space near the waterfront for quiet reflection or family gatherings. The Santa Monica Pier and the broad, sandy beaches of the Pacific are moments away, making this one of the few skilled nursing settings in the country where residents can truly feel embedded in a world-class coastal city. For medical emergencies and specialist follow-up, UCLA Health Santa Monica Medical Center on 16th Street and Providence Saint John's Health Center are both easily accessible from this central location. The Santa Monica Fire Department's swift response infrastructure further supports resident safety. Il & Joan Lee's owner-led management style means that decisions about care quality, staffing, and facility standards are made with genuine personal investment. Families appreciate the attentive, individualized approach that distinguishes owner-operated facilities from large institutional chains. Whether a loved one is recovering from a stroke, hip replacement, or other complex medical event, the team at Good Shepherd is dedicated to achieving the best possible outcomes in a setting that feels human, warm, and professionally excellent.
