From the moment I walked into Oakmont of Torrance, I felt it ! this is a place where people truly…read morecare. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and full of life. 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.

Toxic environment. The caregivers start problems in front of the residents. No respect, no boundaries, no structure. I use to feel bad for Corina cause the way they talk to her.

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.

This is definitely one of the nicest senior retirement homes in the South Bay Area. My grandparents…read morehave been at this location for many years now and they enjoy it. I have also volunteered here for many hours and the service is excellent. Keep in mind this is a retirement home so they do not have any nurses on staff. They have many amenities for the residents to enjoy. They have movie nights, game nights, a pool table, koi pond, computers, library, barber shop, putting green and a full dining area. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner here. The dining area is a full service "restaurant". They have waiters/waitresses to deliver food and drinks. They also provide bus rides to dr. appointments/grocery shopping. The staff here is amazing. All of them are so friendly and they know all of the residents names. It gives it that personal touch an you don't get the feeling of "you're just another person in this facility." They always have someone at the front desk. All the doors get locked up at sun down so you know the location is safe. They offer 1 and 2 bedroom apartment style units. My grandparents had a 1 bedroom unit an it was on the border of close to $5,000 per month. When you walk in, you step into a room that is a combo of your kitchen and living room. You also have a connecting balcony from this room. The bedroom is located to the side and that is where the bathroom and a walk-in closet is also located. If I had to guess, the place is around 500 sq. feet. Keep in mind that since this the nicest senior living place in the area and the cost is pretty high. IMO, if you can afford it, this is a great place to live out your golden years.

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

My wife and I have been living at the Kensington-Redondo for three years now, and its services and…read moreloving care for residents continue to impress me. My wife lives in the second-floor Haven - advanced Alzheimer's - community. We have yet to meet a staff member who is not competent and courteous and caring. My wife has reached the point where she has become wheelchair bound. The staff quickly assembled the chair I bought for her. There were difficulties in doing so, but they persisted instead of letting responsibility fall back on me. I greatly appreciate what they did. I am not the least bit mechanically inclined; I have trouble setting my watch. More importantly, they trained her in wheelchair use and safety, always patient, encouraging, and friendly. In my own case, I was recently informed that a room will become available in early April that will be substantially less expensive than the one I now occupy, and I will move into it then. My point is that the Kensington realizes how expensive memory care and assisted living can be and strives to ease the financial burden on its residents whenever the opportunity presents itself. I am also compelled to mention the first-class medical monitoring and care that followed my return to the Kensington after two weeks in the hospital recovering from colon cancer surgery. The Kensington's quality is self-evident. I regularly meet new residents whose families had originally placed them in a different local facility and then later decided to move them here. If you have a loved one who needs residential care, I cannot strongly enough recommend the Kensington. Gary Hartzell

Although I can't comment on the quality of care, as I have only visited there twice-(once alone and…read moreagain with my husband and son), we were so impressed with what we saw there, including meeting the owner, who actually lives on site. It is so beautiful and high-quality in what it offers in terms of restaurant options, beautiful gardens, lovely rooms with high ceilings, impeccable furnishings, and cleanliness. And the people are so attentive and kind that I'm assuming the care is excellent. Tiffany was kind enough to give us two full tours, and the second time sent me off with a sweet bottle of wine. In appearance and ambience, it compares to a five star hotel, which provides live music, art classes and a small library, to boot! If it does ever happen that one of us needs extended care, this place would be our top choice.

The new manager of this facility left a comment on my original review. I did not respond. I am…read morereposting after their manager flagged my review and it was taken down because per yelp my review was referring as a 3rd party per the manager complaint. Uhm, my relative, my aunt was in here for over a month or two. I came often to visit her. My aunt complained to me how bad it was and she was left neglected and how she was left in her bed with soiled bedsheets and no one cleaned her up for hours! No one flipped her, no one took her out for walks so she's not bed ridden 24/7. They left her tray of food, she was sleeping, when she woke up and finally wanted to eat, she realizes her food was collected when she hasn't even touched it. Everytime I go, I walk in and the facility reeks of urine. During my first time visiting I stood in front of the door 15 minutes trying to get someone to help me to find out what room my aunt was in. None of the staffs bothered to ask who I was and if I needed help, which also was a concern to me anyone can come in and leave as please with no questions asked. I finally walked around the facility looking in each room and finally found my aunt. Unfortunately my aunt was in and out of this facility between this facility and the hospital and was unresponsive the last time and died when ambulance was called and took her to the hospital. Do not bring your loved ones here if you love them! As many other reviews stated before reviews were flagged and taken down, patients are being neglected. The staffs are rude, and seems like no one cares for the patients. At one point I got a message from someone that works for the county that were investigating this facility. She asked me information but I dod not reply to the email because not sure if it's real or not and didn't want all the headaches. This was a few many years ago, I'm not sure other than now they have a new manager that all of a sudden cares about their reputation a bit more if problems and staffs are better, I hope it is for the benefits of the patients but from reading the few recent years reviews from others it doesn't look that way.
