Background & History
 

The St. John of God Retirement and Care Center (SJOG) is an essential and historic element of Southern California. It was founded in 1942 by the Hospitaller Brothers of St. John of God, a 500-year-old order of skilled nursing providers who traditionally take care of the Pope and are bringing these unique skills and concerns to the people of all faiths of Southern California.

SJOG opened in 1942 with just 12 beds but expanded in 1951 with the original hospital building. In 1973 the first Alzheimer’s Center in Los Angeles was dedicated at the Center. A three-story independent living facility was built in 1989 and has been fully occupied ever since.

The SJOG Retirement and Care Center today is a seven-acre, multi-level care campus located on a half city block in the urban core of Los Angeles, California. The Hospitaller Brothers of St. John of God own and operate this campus as well as St. Joseph’s Health and Retirement Center in Ojai, California.
