Oakmont of Torrance

Overview of Oakmont of Torrance

The Oakmont of Torrance operates as a 126-bed assisted living and memory care community in the Torrance neighborhood of Los Angeles County, California, licensed since April 2022. Located at 3620 Lomita Boulevard and administered by Judith Uy-Villaruz, the facility serves 87 residents across 28 memory care and 59 assisted living beds (62% occupancy).

Programming emphasizes dietary excellence through an executive chef and culinary team, alongside 24-hour staffing with licensed nurses and CNAs, physician oversight, rehabilitation services, and caregiver support.

The two-story building offers studio through two-bedroom units (391–1,187 square feet), many wheelchair-accessible, with ground-floor options, kitchenettes, and pet-friendly policies. Community spaces include a ballroom, billiards lounge, fitness center, media library, and fireplace. Wellness, transportation, and recreational programming round out the service model.

Regulatory scrutiny has intensified at this facility: 26 regulatory visits in four years (63% above the California average), including 4 standard inspections, 14 complaint visits, and 13 complaint investigations. This frequency reflects heightened oversight. Citation data show improvement: 4 total citations (60% better than the California average of 10), 2 serious violations (33% below the state average), and exceptionally low citation density (0.2 per inspection versus the California average of 3.3).

Two substantiated complaints in early 2024 triggered deficiency findings and enforcement. January 2024: A memory-care resident with a documented wandering history left the facility unsupervised, developing severe hypothermia requiring hospitalization; staff failed to timely alert law enforcement. Deficiencies were cited for failure to observe resident status changes and inadequate reporting. A $500 civil penalty was assessed.

November 2023: the facility failed to refund pre-admission fees when an applicant did not move in; a violation of the admission agreement. These incidents prompted intensive regulatory review. Subsequent investigations into eight complaints (grooming/hygiene, falls, pressure injuries, advance directive compliance, food service, staffing) all returned unsubstantiated findings, indicating no substantive pattern of additional violations.

March 2025: an Immediate Exclusion Letter was issued for staff member Daniel Castro due to conduct inimical to resident welfare; a separation reflecting management’s response to behavioral concerns.

Three consecutive inspections (March 25, April 21, May 12, 2025) documented zero deficiencies, establishing current operational compliance.

Walk Score 69; 0.36 miles from Torrance Memorial Medical Center.

Oakmont of Torrance fits assisted living and memory care residents seeking a renovated community with strong amenities and recent regulatory stabilization, following documented operational challenges in early 2024 that appear remediated through current management attention.
