Pacific Post Acute

Nestled in the heart of Santa Monica at 1323 17th Street, Pacific Post Acute provides compassionate, high-acuity skilled nursing care for seniors and individuals recovering from surgery, illness, or injury. Under the dedicated stewardship of David & Frank Johnson, the facility reflects a genuine commitment to clinical excellence and resident dignity — values that define every aspect of care delivered here. Santa Monica is widely regarded as one of Southern California's most livable coastal cities, and Pacific Post Acute's central location puts residents and families within easy reach of world-class medical resources. Providence Saint John's Health Center, a nationally recognized hospital just minutes away, offers families peace of mind knowing top-tier emergency and specialty care is close at hand. UCLA Health clinics along Wilshire Boulevard and the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in adjacent Westwood round out a remarkably strong healthcare corridor. Beyond medical access, the surrounding neighborhood offers a quality of life that benefits both residents and visiting loved ones. The iconic Santa Monica Pier, Palisades Park with its sweeping Pacific Ocean views, and the vibrant Third Street Promenade are all within a short drive — ideal for family outings after visits. Montana Avenue's boutique shops and acclaimed restaurants, the Santa Monica Farmers Market, and Bergamot Station's arts campus reflect a community that prioritizes wellness, culture, and connection. The temperate ocean climate — mild winters, cool summers — is especially beneficial for senior health and recovery. Santa Monica's well-maintained sidewalks, accessible transit options, and abundance of green space make it an environment where seniors can thrive. David & Frank Johnson's management philosophy centers on treating every resident as family, ensuring that skilled nursing at Pacific Post Acute goes beyond clinical tasks to encompass genuine human warmth. From the dedicated nursing staff to the therapy and social services teams, every team member works toward one goal: helping residents recover fully and live well.
