Huntington Retirement Hotel sits in Torrance, California, and supports up to 155 residents in a community with many options like independent living, assisted living, memory care, and respite care. The rooms, available as studios, one-bedrooms, or even adjoining two-bedroom spaces for couples, can come furnished or unfurnished, and all have kitchenettes with a refrigerator plus patio access, and folks get to choose privacy or spend time with neighbors nearby because the place has indoor and outdoor common areas, gardens, and a library stocked with books for everyone. The community provides three meals a day in a cozy dining room or larger communal spaces, with guest meals available, and has a coffee shop, game room, and cable TV in some areas. Staff includes nurses, caregivers, front desk, and kitchen workers, all friendly and supportive, and they're around 24 hours a day to help with things like bathing, dressing, moving from a bed to a wheelchair, reminders for medication, and help with doctor's appointments, blood sugar checks, or other daily health needs, though they can't give insulin shots themselves.
"The Garden" is a secured memory care unit set up for residents with Alzheimer's disease or dementia, providing special care, therapies, and activities to keep everyone safe and engaged, and seniors who prefer to stay active can join exercise and wellness programs, use fitness facilities, and join in on outings or music nights planned by the staff. The building itself is well kept, recently remodeled with modern touches, provides full building maintenance and utilities except for phone and cable, and keeps a clean and safe environment with regular housekeeping, linen changes, and bed making. Residents get access to an on-site salon, barbershop, and salon services, plus transportation for doctor visits or shopping, and there are always social programs and recreation activities like movie nights and resident-run events. The staff speaks English, takes pride in care, and covers different care needs, with nurses on staff part-time, and all have special training to care for those needing more support, like stand-by help for movement or help with memory issues.
Payment is flexible, as the Huntington Retirement Hotel takes private pay, insurance, social security, checks, credit cards, and veterans can get help through VA Aid Assistance programs, plus there's guidance for figuring out finances, and all fees are explained up front, whether folks stay short term or long term. The community has a high rating from residents and their families, and everyone has access to devotional services off-site for spiritual needs, and the age requirement is at least 55 years old. Every feature, from private rooms with kitchen appliances to shared gardens and a secure memory care setting, aims to make life simpler and more comfortable for seniors, including those needing help with health or daily tasks or those who just want a friendly, safe place to retire with some extra peace of mind.
