Overview of The Plaza at Westwood Senior Living

Operating for five years, The Plaza at Westwood Senior Living is a three-story assisted living community operated by Sta Management Inc in Westwood, Los Angeles. It offers studio suite housing and has 136 total beds, currently at 46 percent occupancy.

Situated on Westwood Boulevard in a highly walkable neighborhood where most errands can be finished on foot, the home sits convenient to shopping, services, and public transit. Pets are welcome, and the facility supports various pet companions.

Since opening, the community has undergone regular state inspections that the California Department of Social Services oversees. Inspections have flagged periodic concerns: environmental safety and administrative compliance, including proper water temperature maintenance and timely incident documentation. A recent investigation into resident care allegations found no substantiated deficiencies, mirroring the home’s responsiveness to oversight feedback.

Touring in person and speaking with staff will give you a clear sense of the daily culture, staffing approach, available services, activities, and dining options. That hands-on visit is invaluable when assessing fit for a loved one.
