Better Living & Care N La Jolla

Since 1997, Better Living & Care has been providing quality, full service care for seniors. We are a family business operating five Los Angeles based Assisted Living/Residential Care Facilities for the elderly centrally located near Cedars Sinai hospital. We provide tiered levels of care to meet the personal needs of our residents. Our homes are based on cognitive ability and range from fully alert to Alzheimer’s & Dementia.

At Better Living & Care, we are always looking for ways to make our residents feel at home and finding new ways to enrich their lives. We have a strong commitment to excellence in caring for the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of our residents. Finally, all our homes share a common goal of maximizing independence while at the same time accurately identifying individual needs. We strive for our residents to have their own unique being and dignity that deserves to be respected, cared for, and allowed to shine.

Our residents have meaningful things to do every day. Whether it be exercising, listening to music, watching movies, participating in games, or socializing, our residents never feel lonely.

Some of the activities we provide are:

We invite solo singers, duets, classical musicians, dancers, and other performers. The concerts are usually held outdoors at one of our lovely back yards.

When you stop by, you will find our warm and welcoming environment is designed to provide residents and families with all the comforts of home: spacious air-conditioned private and semi-private rooms, terrace patios, abundant colorful gardens, and safe & secured living accommodations.
