What to Consider About Memory Care in Torrance

Torrance’s memory care communities follow the operating standards set by the California Department of Social Services, Senior Care Licensing Program. It publishes relevant information, such as local resources available to memory care residents and their families, as well as details on public policies affecting long-term care. The department also sets rules for staffing, care planning and building features and maintenance.

 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Memory Care in Torrance

  • Torrance has a Commission on Aging to promote residents' comfort, regardless of their age, and it serves as a member of the AARP Age-Friendly Network. Across the AARP Livability Index categories, the city rates 71 in the Health category for its high medical patient satisfaction rate and its low severity of clinician shortages, promoting access to medical support for residents with dementia.
  • Torrance's cost of living surpasses the national norm by 38.4%, impacting the affordability of local memory care communities. Housing and utility expenses run high compared to national averages, but health care services cost about 2% less here than in a typical U.S. city, offering savings for those managing chronic health conditions such as Alzheimer's.
  • Los Angeles County, where Torrance sits, serves as a dementia-friendly community with resources and initiatives that promote a safe, respectful environment for seniors with dementia. It hosts the annual Making Memories Festival, which features multicultural food, music and activities and raises funds for Alzheimer's Los Angeles. Additionally, it oversees support groups and educational programs and has a free helpline.
  • Summers in Torrance bring warm, arid conditions with partly cloudy skies and daytime temperatures between 75 and 78 degrees Fahrenheit. During the cold season, which lasts about 4 months, temperatures run slightly lower at 65 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit, appealing to prospective residents who enjoy relaxing outdoors throughout the year. To that end, local memory care communities have enclosed courtyards for residents to enjoy with a minimized risk of unsafe wandering.
  • California's income tax ranks among the highest in the country, topping out at 13.3% for those in the top income bracket. Fortunately, the state exempts Social Security benefits and has a senior income tax exemption to lower this expense.
  • Torrance ranks in the bottom 11% of U.S. communities for safety, with the city reporting 29 crimes per 1,000 people. While property-related offenses occur at a higher rate here than in a typical California city, the violent crime rate is lower at 2.71 incidents per 1,000 residents compared to 4.99 statewide and 4.00 nationally, making it an option for families seeking safe memory care accommodations.
