We lived in our own house in West Torrance since 1971. During the last two years we decided to tour…read moreassisted living facilities in our area and further south. We also were concerned that just taking tours with a sales person was misleading. We were aware that people were leaving one failed facility and going to another with the hope of better treatment. We felt uncertain about leaving our beautiful home and moving into this unknown world. We have been at Cogir of South Bay for just over a month. We are going no further. We are here to stay! We are both overjoyed with our decision. Each day brings us a dining room with our new friends. We all have learned to expect a tasty and attractive looking meal will be presented to us. In our past we only dined so well on special occasions at our favorite expensive restaurants. At dinner time I get my wine. Instead of sleeping in late and watching lots of TV, we attend the 9:30 AM exercise classes in the gym or outside alongside the pool. In addition, we now do our weekly exercises at 1:30 PM inside the heated pool when the sun is strongest. Today the pool water temperature was over 90oF and the air was 73oF. The pool exercises included music and aquatic hardware to enhance our experience. I love my daily swim. Thursdays, before dinner, there is always going to be a singer who performs alongside the bar and also comes up to each of us seated at our table. It already started. We enjoyed our drink from the bar, snacks from the side table, and a bouquet of flowers on our table. A resident took the microphone from the performer and did a few songs that he mastered during his singing lessons. Two couples got up and danced. One of the assistants working for Cogir took the microphone and sang Edith Piaf's famous song and sang it French. My hands were sore with all the applause. There is an exercise room loaded with weights and other typical hardware that I use, a game room where we learned how to play adult dominoes, and an arts and crafts room where my wife just painted a silk scarf under the supervision of a guest artist. And all that was in the past few days. We enjoy the trees, shrubbery and plants that surround every area. They were each planted at their full size. It is a pretty scene when we look down at the grounds from our balcony, day or night. When there is a breeze, it is even more enjoyable. We have a pantry, refrigerator, freezer, stove and microwave that we have not yet used. Why shop, cook and clean-up when your meals are prepared for you? I store my socks and underthings in the empty food pantry. We no longer have monthly TV, electricity, gas, and garbage pickup expenses. Since this place is brand new and all expenses are included, we don't worry about scheduled maintenance and surprise repair bills typical of our 50-year old home. Since I was an engineer I focused on the material parts of Cogir. What make this place run smoothly are the executive director and her staff. The Matre D' in the dining room makes each meal personal. WIth great satisfaction, Dr. Paul and Gretel Lieberman

The fact that they also provide transportation was an unexpected and wonderful bonus. Before attending the center, my mother-in-law was sad, lonely, and depressed. Now she is thriving! Her days are filled with exercise, physical therapy, bingo, themed dress-up days, and many other fun activities. The structure and daily routine have helped her tremendously. The on-site social worker has been an absolute blessing. She is amazing and has provided us with so many helpful resources, guidance, and knowledge. The entire staff is friendly, compassionate, and genuinely cares about my mother-in-law and her well-being. I especially love that the food and staff reflect her Filipino culture. Since I do not know how to prepare many Filipino dishes, it means so much to me that she can enjoy Filipino food regularly and maintain that important connection to her culture. This center has made such a positive difference in my mother-in-law's life and has given me peace of mind knowing she is safe, active, cared for, and happy. I cannot recommend them enough!

Heather always tries to over rule Corina instead of working as a team. Don't recommend to no one.

I want to select no zeros. I was hired by the Director at Cojir of South Bay to create a large…read more6'x4' live oil painting during their grand opening event. The agreement, scope, and pricing were clearly discussed and approved in advance. Unfortunately, before final payment was completed, the Director who hired me was let go. Since then, new management has refused to honor the original agreement in full. Despite providing documentation, proof of approval, and fulfillment of the work exactly as requested, I was only partially paid and am still owed $1,400. It's disappointing to complete a high-level, time-intensive project in good faith--especially for a major event--and then have a company refuse to take responsibility for the commitments made by their own leadership. This isn't just about payment--it's about integrity. Vendors should be able to trust that businesses will honor their agreements, regardless of internal staffing changes. I would strongly caution other artists and vendors to ensure full payment upfront before working with this organization.

This stuff you can see for yourself if you visit but I wanted to comment on the staff. All the staff at Cogir have been geniunely fantastic but I wanted to give a mention to Priscila Sellers. My mom was just starting the process of moving in and we hadn't even signed the paperwork, when she ended up falling and going to the hospital. Due to the situation, she was released directly to Cogir. Priscila was really a rockstar, everything was taken care of. She busted her butt to get movers the next day, elevated care taking that night, and even arranged for my mom to stay in a guest suite while we worked on moving her stuff. I'm sure she was doing other stuff I'm not even aware of. She is really hard working and very good at her job. Thank you to everyone at Cogir! I feel my mom is in good hands.

It didn't feel like a facility; it felt like a home. As I toured the community, it was clear that every detail is intentional, from the beautifully maintained spaces to the way team members interact so naturally and kindly with residents. The smiles were genuine, the conversations were unhurried, and there was a sense of dignity and respect in every interaction. What stood out most was the team and leadership. You can feel their passion and commitment the moment you speak with them. There is a deep sense of pride in the work they do, and it shows in how supported the residents feel and how connected the staff are to one another. Oakmont of Torrance is more than a place to live, it's a community where residents are known, valued, and cared for, and where families can feel peace knowing their loved ones are in capable, compassionate hands. Touring this community left me truly moved and confident that this is somewhere special.

Ok, if you're on Yelp looking at care facilities for your loved one, then please hear me out, I…read morehave lots to say! This is one of the hardest things you'll have to do that Vista Del Mar actually makes easy. Before I get into the details, the key names you need to know are Rebecca the Top organizer with a heart of Gold, Sidonia who does the intake and works insurance magic, Juanita who is the incredible eyes and ears and also facilitates memory care, Jenny, Jessica, Charmaine, Patrick the Events Coordinator and so many more. These are my new, additional family and I love them dearly! I anticipated the process as being uncomfortable and purely money oriented. First of all, they have their rates on their website unlike so many others. They have their fees listed too. No surprises. We don't need that during this time with our parents. So that was a welcomed and very important sign. I toured a bunch of places in Long Beach. When walking in, you can feel the vibe, the energy etc and once I walked into Vista Del Mar, right through those doors, I KNEW this was it. There was upbeat music playing, not all stuffy or silly stuff. I've seen places that tend to infantilize their residents and this music was straight up pumping! The residents were moving to it even in the foyer! Theres always a fresh flower arrangement and right when you walk in it's bright and you can see the beautiful outside courtyard. It has gazebos for shade, beautiful landscaping and access to the other parts of the facility. I can't even call it a facility even though it has 247 healthcare and workers. I guess I'd call it my dad and sisters apartment with new family and friends. In the short time my dad and sister have been there, they have a whole new family who care for them. In turn, this has freed up a lot of my time and worry to get my own life things done. I know they're safe, I know they have medical care and medication. But I also know they are mentally stimulated by the non-stop calendar of events every single day. Painting, field trips, socials, happy hours, trivia, bingo, movie parties with snacks! As I write this, I can do anything with my day off today and it feels GREAT. But I actually want to hang out over there today, haha. The dining room is absolutely gorgeous. You seat yourself or they assist, and it's like a restaurant. You can dine there too with them if you want! The lovely ladies who work the dining hall have so much patience. They bring the meals and make sure everyone is taken care of and is satisfied. They can also make other meals if you don't like what's being served on that day. They also accommodate special diets. They really pay attention and I'm so thankful for that! There's a snack shack off the main hallway, free laundry room with washer and dryer, a hair salon open 3x a week, 3 places to watch movies and tv, the theatre has beautiful luxury easy chairs, and is still close to watchful eyes of the staff. This place feels like Home. It actually feels more like home than when before my mom passed. It feels like Hope. I don't know what I did to be so lucky to have found Vista Del Mar. It's within budget and clean and happy feeling and bright and entertaining. I mean, this should be the STANDARD all care facilities should have! You know I could go on so if anyone reading has any questions, just message me and I'll be happy to answer honestly. So now, I'll get ready and head over to their luxury apartment as I call it and talk to them about what they've painted or crafted, which new friends they've met and get some fun chit chat going with the staff that never seems overworked or rushed. Finally, peace of mind has never felt so good!!!

I had to scramble to find a quality care environment in the midst of the pandemic, but the Regency's preventive and response measures under such fluid circumstances have been highly effective. It's a reflection of their management approach and tireless commitment to quality service and care. The facility is clean and well-maintained with a boutique hotel vibe. Meriza, the Wellness Director, has been attentive to my parents care needs from day 1, keeping me apprised of any significant health changes. Aileen the Life Enrichment Director keeps the residents engaged in invaluable group activities to keep minds and bodies active. Chef Kristine and her staff do a wonderful job preparing 3 quality meals a day and catering regular special events for residents to enjoy. Tony in charge of Maintenance has been an upbeat Mr. Fixit also overseeing laundry and housekeeping services. Business Office Manager Davina ensures billing is accurate and my parents residency remains in good standing. And Carla, the Executive Director, ties everything together with an open ear, timely communications and a seemingly never ending work schedule. Yet it's the hardworking front line staff like Caregiver Lupe and Med Tech Mary that keep the Regency such a comforting environment for residents and their families. My parents acclimation to the Regency Palms had its challenges as is unavoidable when transitioning from independent living to assisted, but their physical, mental and emotional health has dramatically improved since relocating 8 months ago. Caregiving is not a trade for the weak of heart. But to deliver such good service in a time when good workers have never been more difficult to find is a testament to the quality people who choose to work at the Regency Palms and those who lead them.
