Westwood and Century City: capacity next to the hospital

Two neighborhoods, one real answer. Westwood (90024) holds 4 licensed senior care facilities with about 489 beds, most of it in two large communities within minutes of UCLA's medical campus. Century City (90067) holds exactly zero; it's an office and condo district, and its families place next door. If your parent's situation is medically complex, this is the part of the Westside where the hospital math matters most.

Counts computed from California Department of Social Services licensing data, June 2026; refreshed quarterly. We don't list facility names; a current, inspection-checked short list is what the free conversation is for.

Why families pick Westwood

  • The hospital is the headline. UCLA's medical campus sits in the neighborhood. For parents with cardiac, oncology, or other specialist relationships there, placement minutes from their doctors changes everything about appointments and emergencies.
  • Real large-community capacity. Two big buildings mean genuine choice for the activity-calendar, dining-room version of senior living, with apartments turning over more predictably than in supply-starved zips.
  • The village is walkable and the location works for families coming from the Valley through the pass as easily as from the coastal Westside.

If you're searching from Century City

Zero licensed facilities in 90067 means the search starts next door by definition. Westwood is the closest capacity; Santa Monica adds coastal options westward; and the Palms and Mar Vista small-home hubs sit ten minutes south for hands-on care at friendlier prices. Our decision guide sorts which kind of setting fits before you pick a map pin.
