Who are you searching for?
Residential care homes in Torrance may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. Torrance care homes typically take in fewer residents, meaning older adults know each resident in the home and develop strong friendships.
Older-adult care homes vary more than other options for senior living in Torrance, so families can choose from a wide range of prices, amenities, and services. A Place for Mom will work with you to understand the cost of care homes. From there, we’ll help you find the right fit, whether you’re staying on a budget or searching for luxury retirement communities.
We are also serving Residential Care Home facilities in surrounding neighborhoods like Harbor, Madrona and Torrance Heights Civic.
You may also consider nearby communities such as Long Beach, Downey or Dudmore.

Residential care homes — sometimes called care homes, board and care homes, group homes, or personal care homes — are often houses in residential neighborhoods that are adapted, equipped, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually 10 or less. Similar to assisted living but in a smaller, more residential setting, these homes provide supervision, organized events, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). This means care homes can help with everyday routines but typically do not provide 24-hour skilled nursing assistance.
The median monthly cost for a room in a Torrance care home is around $3,700. In the state of California, the median monthly cost for a room in a care home is about $3,500. However, the cost of living in a care home depends largely on location. Since the homes are private residences, costs are tied to real estate value and therefore may vary greatly.

The Madrona Marsh Preserve is a seasonal wetland, a surprising find in the middle of a densely populated city, where nature lovers can take guided tours and go bird-watching. In Charles H.
