Ocean Park Healthcare

Ocean Park Healthcare, situated at 2828 Pico Boulevard in Santa Monica's beloved Ocean Park neighborhood, provides compassionate skilled nursing care in one of the Westside's most distinctive and community-oriented coastal districts. Managed by Abraham Bak and Menachem Gastwirth, the facility delivers professional, individualized nursing care — including post-acute rehabilitation, long-term residential care, wound management, and continuous clinical support — within a neighborhood setting that is both culturally vibrant and deeply residential. Ocean Park is one of Santa Monica's most storied neighborhoods, historically associated with the creative arts community and anchored by the energy of nearby Main Street — a lively corridor of independent restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques that extends south toward Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice. Virginia Avenue Park, a beloved neighborhood greenspace offering sports courts, gardens, and community programming, is just steps away, providing a pleasant setting for family outings during visits. The Pacific Ocean and Santa Monica's expansive beaches are easily reachable, offering the restorative benefits of coastal air and scenery. For families concerned about medical proximity, the facility is well-served by Santa Monica's robust healthcare infrastructure. UCLA Health Santa Monica Medical Center on 16th Street is accessible from Pico Boulevard, as is Providence Saint John's Health Center. The proximity to neighboring Venice also means access to Cedars-Sinai's network of outpatient and specialist services in the greater West LA corridor. Owners Abraham Bak and Menachem Gastwirth bring hands-on leadership to Ocean Park Healthcare, prioritizing clinical quality, respectful resident relationships, and meaningful family partnership. Their owner-managed approach ensures that care standards are upheld personally, and that each resident is treated as an individual rather than a number. For families seeking skilled nursing care in a neighborhood setting that blends the warmth of a residential community with proximity to world-class medical resources and the incomparable Southern California coast, Ocean Park Healthcare offers a distinctive and caring choice.
