Last week, I visited my grandmother at this facility. We were worried that she would move out of her home, but the staff at this facility created a new place for her. She enjoys all the activities and makes great friends at dinner. It is obvious that they care deeply about the well-being and happiness of their residents. We felt an energy and vibrancy that I have never seen in an assisted living facility. Thank you for giving comfort and peace of heart to my grandmother and our family during these difficult times.

My husband was in need of assisted living and I wanted to make the transition to a skilled nursing facility. I first considered Terazza of Cheviot Hills, but it made more sense to find one in Santa Monica. Although I visited a few facilities, the Terrazzo website had so many appealing photos that I decided to take the next step. My daughter who lives near Terrazzo and I scheduled a tour. As we signed in, the lobby was filled with pleasant music. We were impressed by the warm atmosphere that surrounds us as Terese takes us through the different rooms of this small, cozy facility. Many of them have been there for a while. We spoke with a few residents in the beautiful dining room and they all gave Terazza high marks. But what really won us over was the wonderful team of occupational and physical therapists that Terazza has. Therapy was a major requirement for my husband. His improvement has been remarkable since he started at Terazza a few months ago. This group of caring, talented therapists deserves our appreciation. My husband and I often visit and enjoy the convenience of the freeway and easy parking. My husband and I have shared many meals at the restaurant. The menus are varied and the staff is friendly. This cozy gem is a great choice.

My family is grateful for the excellent care Solheim provides to my mom. A close friend recommended us to Solheim after a loved one had been there. We were grateful to have all three levels of care on-site (active living, memory and skilled nursing). This ensures mom is comfortable as she transitions through her stages of life. Every time we visit mom, the warmth and kindness of the staff is apparent. It is not a large hotel-like home. It's warm, comfortable, cozy, and clean. Many activities are offered to residents, including chapel services. Solheim is a blessing for our family. We can rest easy at night knowing that she is well taken care of by her Solheim family.

Rules and regulations for assisted living in Los Angeles, California

California licenses two settings: Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE). Some Los Angeles-area communities hold different licence types, so ask which one a community holds when you tour.

Before you tour, it's worth confirming a community's license status and inspection history. Our advisors do this as part of every Los Angeles shortlist.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the criteria for Assisted Living in Los Angeles?

California-licensed Assisted Living communities serve seniors who need daily help with activities like bathing, dressing, medications, or meals but who don't require continuous skilled nursing. Los Angeles communities complete a health and needs assessment before move-in to confirm they can provide the right level of care under state licensing rules.

Does Medicare pay for Assisted Living?

No. Medicare doesn't cover room, board, or daily-living help in Assisted Living communities. Los Angeles residents can still use Medicare benefits for approved medical care they receive while living in a community — doctor visits, eligible therapies, and short-term hospital stays.

How much does Assisted Living cost per month in Los Angeles, CA?

The median cost of assisted living in Los Angeles is $6,834 per month, close to the California median of $7,000 (2025 industry cost-of-care survey data). Actual rates depend on suite size and care level. A BoomersHub advisor can confirm current pricing at specific communities, free.

Does long-term care insurance cover Assisted Living?

Most LTCI policies pay toward Assisted Living once benefit triggers are met — typically needing help with two or more daily activities, or having a cognitive impairment. Check your policy's elimination period, daily benefit amount, and lifetime maximum before comparing Los Angeles communities.

Are Assisted Living expenses tax deductible?

The portion of Assisted Living fees attributable to medical care may qualify as an itemized medical expense when a licensed practitioner has certified the resident as chronically ill and care follows a written plan. Keep itemized statements from your Los Angeles community and confirm with a tax professional.

Do you bring your own furniture to Assisted Living?

Usually, yes. Most Los Angeles Assisted Living communities encourage residents to furnish their suite with their own furniture, photos, and keepsakes so the new home feels familiar from day one. Ask each community what fits the floor plan and what's included.

How do I move a parent with dementia to Assisted Living?

Start with their physician, then tour Los Angeles communities that offer memory care or dementia-capable staffing. Keep routines and familiar belongings, plan the move for their best time of day, and coordinate the first weeks closely with staff. A local advisor can shortlist secure, well-suited Los Angeles communities for free.

How does Assisted Living work with Social Security?

Social Security income can be applied toward Assisted Living, but on its own it rarely covers the full monthly cost. Most Los Angeles families combine it with savings, long-term care insurance, VA benefits, or home equity to bridge the difference.

How do I choose the right Assisted Living community in Los Angeles?

Tour at least three, ideally around a mealtime, and revisit your favorite unannounced. Check the state license and last inspection date, ask about staffing ratios on nights and weekends, and understand how the community handles medical escalation. A BoomersHub advisor can build the shortlist for free.

Does California Medicaid help pay for Assisted Living in Los Angeles?

California's Medi-Cal Assisted Living Waiver (ALW) helps eligible seniors pay for care in participating licensed communities in 15 counties, including Los Angeles County. It does not pay room and board, enrollment has a waitlist, and not every Los Angeles community takes part, so confirm before you tour.
