Overview of Garden of Palms

At 1025 N Fairfax Ave in Central LA, Garden of Palms is a two-story assisted living and memory care community with 130 beds, operated by Fairfax Gardens Operations, LLC under administrator Adam Syncheff. The building is about two years old, with studio and one-bedroom floor plans available. The surrounding neighborhood scores a 97 on walkability. Residents and their families can reach most daily destinations on foot.

Currently 115 of 130 beds are filled, an 88% occupancy rate that suggests steady demand for a community still in its early years. Garden of Palms serves both assisted living residents and those who need memory care, so families have the option of staying in one place as care needs change.

The facility operates a certified kosher kitchen and has garden patios for outdoor time. State inspections have tended to center on medication management, care planning and documentation, and housekeeping and upkeep.

Garden of Palms is a newer, urban Jewish senior living community in one of Los Angeles’s most walkable pockets, offering assisted living and memory care under one roof for residents who want a community with a specific cultural and dietary identity.
