Oakmont of Torrance

Oakmont of Torrance is gorgeous. It's beautiful. However, they sit on a major traffic artery and there's traffic all day long. You can just hear traffic moving around there all the time. That was the thing. It's off of Lomita Boulevard, and that's a major artery in Torrance because it's all hospitals and things like that, so there's just constant traffic. The rooms were also on that side, so that would have been very uncomfortable. Nevertheless, the staff was just amazing. They made me cookies. When you walk into the lobby area, it's an open cafeteria. It was very open. Another thing about Oakmont of Torrance is that it's expensive, but it's worth it. They have like a casual spot where you can go get coffee, and it's like a little cafe. The formal dining room where everybody eats was on the other end and it was gorgeous. It's all buffet-style. They have amenities like a gym, a courtyard, a salon, and a place to do massages. They're full-on amenities, but for $12,000 a month, they need to be full on amenities.

I picked out Oakmont of Torrance, and I gave them a deposit to be on the waiting list. The man who did the tour was very nice, polite, and showed us everything. And the building itself is across the street from our primary doctor and is down the street from all our other doctors and towards Memorial Hospital. So it was a perfect location for us. And the room that we got is as big as we had seen in all the other places. The price was a little higher than some others, but it was okay. It's a very nice place. We got a one bedroom with a balcony. They seem to have a lot of activities and they have their own private bus to haul people around.

I toured Oakmont of Torrance. From what I could see, it was fantastic. It was absolutely beautiful. The rooms were nice. They were not as big, but you can have a single room or a double room. There was a choice. They showed us the menu, and it looked wonderful. They had a wonderful area that was almost like a bar, and they had a game room. We went into the bar, where they had happy hour. It was a beautiful room. It had tables and easy chairs. It was very attractive. They had a sitting room with a fireplace next to that. However, the dining room was not as bright as the other places because everything was on the first floor and maybe a little darker. It was very clean and beautifully decorated. They had a beautiful lobby. They had a nice big patio garden in the back. It was very, very nice. We went with a lady that showed us around, and she was terrific.

Everything at Oakmont of Torrance was great. From when you first walk in the door, I can't imagine anyone not wanting to be there. The atmosphere was wonderful and uplifting. There was a big round table as soon as I walked in the door that had a huge bouquet of flowers, and right in front of it was a sign welcoming me with my name printed out. I just thought that was great. Everything was clean. Everything smelled fresh, and it wasn't covered up by a perfumy smell. It almost smelled like it was a brand-new building. The grounds were very well kept up and nice. The staff showed us the different apartments from single apartments up to two-bedroom apartments. She was very patient and answered whatever questions I could think of. She was very thorough. There was an area to be able to sit, and they provided coffee if you wanted it. There were snacks available to you right there, you could take it yourself. There were two big restaurants. Each table had a tablecloth and a menu like you're going into a high-class restaurant. They could eat 24 hours a day if they wanted to. There's always something to eat. They have snacks out for them all the time. They even have a separate bar and they have different drinks. People could order if they want wine or beer. They can even have one glass of wine or one glass of beer with their meal at night if they want. They provided transportation if the person needed to see their doctor or if they wanted to go shopping. They just set that up and they're taken to where they want to go. They have outings. They had a big movie theater with a huge screen. They provided popcorn for them. There were people in the activity room with a huge screen, and they were bowling. And then there was another table where ladies were sitting around and they were doing jigsaw puzzles. It was just a wonderful experience.

Oakmont of Torrance was a beautiful facility, modern and clean. They provide many services. The staff was extremely helpful, and she was really good. They have a salon and movie theaters. They give rides to medical appointments. It's very high-end, and you get what you pay for. The location was close to my parents' medical care, close to family members, and easy access from the freeway.
