Parkview Terrace

Parkview Terrace sits at 2406 W 171st St in Torrance, CA, and what you get here is a senior living community where folks 55 and older can find several care options under one roof, you know, from independent living with fewer chores since they handle maintenance, to assisted living where the staff helps out with daily things like bathing, meals, and remembering to take medicines-plus they've got extra care for folks who have diabetes or need help moving around, even for those who use a lift, whether it's a one-person or two-person assist to help with mobility, and they also help those living with bowel or bladder incontinence. They do memory care too, for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, and those areas are secured for safety, with activities and programs made to encourage memories and keep the mind busy, so those living in memory care get 24-hour help and supervision. If someone needs short-term relief, Parkview Terrace offers respite care, plus rehabilitation and wound care for those working on healing up. It runs as a residential care home, so the feel is more personal, like living in a house with a group of friendly folks, and pets-cats and small dogs (1-15 pounds)-are allowed, so you can bring your little companion along, and smokers can smoke outside instead of inside. There are single and semi-private rooms, and the common spaces let residents join activities, socialize, and even take part in devotional programs both on and off site. Meals are covered, and there are plenty of health services on hand too, with staff trained to give insulin, check blood sugar, and handle non-ambulatory care, and if a resident can stand up by themselves but still needs a hand, staff gives standby help with transfers from bed to chair or wheelchair. Parkview Terrace has earned recognition for its meals, activities, and its friendly team, and reviews show a 4.5-star rating and scores over nine out of ten, after more than thirty families shared their impressions. The business runs from early morning (5:00 AM) to late evening, closing earlier on weekends, and while there's no big list of fancy services or special terms thrown around, families can talk with staff to get guidance on what care works for their loved one, and go through a consultation process that tries to match needs to available services. Residents often remark about the close-knit atmosphere and the attention given by caregivers, with many activities every day to help everyone stay engaged and active. The place is State-licensed and keeps adults as independent as possible for as long as possible, always with dignity and kindness.
