CIELA

Ciela is an exceptional place. The staff is professional and kind. we have the utmost trust in Ciela taking good care of our loved one.

I organize the Friends and Newcomers of Pacific Palisades women’s monthly duplicate bridge group. We gather each month at Ciela to enjoy bridge and lunch together. I’d like to express my appreciation to Chef Santos and a staff member Lisa — the food is always delicious, and Lisa’s service is warm and friendly. The game room we use is clean, bright, and beautifully decorated, making it the perfect setting for our gatherings. Thank you, Chef Santos and Lisa, for helping make our bridge days so enjoyable!

What a relaxing afternoon I had at Ciela Senior Living in the Palisades Highlands, and I was incredibly impressed! This community is stunning. The views are breathtaking, the design is elegant, and the energy of the residents is somehow both vibrant and calming. Ciela is a socially active, wellness-driven community. Its Vitality Program includes personalized wellness, yoga, tai chi, sound-guided meditation, red light therapy, hydrotherapy, and so much more, it is truly next level. The food was great! It was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Impressively the community remained unharmed by the January wildfires and is operating fully with every level of care - independent, assisted, and memory care. As a senior placement specialist with Zen Senior Solutions, I've toured numerous communities, and Ciela is one of the most luxurious and wellness-focused I've seen. A must see for anyone exploring senior living options.

Ciela Senior Living is truly in a league of its own. From the moment you step onto the property, you feel like you’ve entered a five-star resort—except it’s thoughtfully designed for vibrant senior living. The architecture is stunning, filled with natural light, warm tones, and modern luxury. Every detail, from the lush gardens to the art installations, is intentional and calming. But what really sets Ciela apart is the atmosphere—it’s peaceful, elegant, and full of life. The views of the hills are breathtaking, the wellness amenities are next-level (hello, salt therapy room and rooftop yoga!), and the dining is phenomenal. It doesn’t feel like a facility—it feels like a retreat. Whether you’re looking for independent living or need a little more support, Ciela offers a truly elevated experience that prioritizes dignity, joy, and community. I’ve never seen senior living done this beautifully.

My mother came to Ciela post hip surgery and was looking for an environment that provided both assistance and physical training. In short, she needed help with everyday tasks in the short term, but was looking for physical empowerment to regain her indedpendance in the longer term. And Ciela has excelled in both. They have an amazing care staff and an amazing training facility along with qualified fitness professionals working in it. As a bonus, the community of residents have been very welcoming and my mother suddenly has a social life as well. I can't recommend Ciela highly enough.
