Brookdale South Bay is a continuing care retirement community in Torrance, California, with assisted living, nursing home, and skilled nursing care. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while the resident maintains an apartment; skilled nursing and nursing home care provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock. Having these care levels in one community may suit a resident whose needs could grow over time without requiring a move elsewhere.
Housing includes studios, one bedroom residences, and two bedroom residences. A studio offers one private space, while a two bedroom layout can work for a couple moving together or for someone who wants a companion. Pets are allowed, so residents may bring a pet when moving in. The community has a pool, salon and spa services, and rehabilitation services, giving residents access to recreation, personal care, and therapy within the community. Dining incorporates resident feedback and menu suggestions, so residents can offer input on meals. A Walk Score of 74 places the area in the very walkable band, meaning most errands can be done on foot and a resident who no longer drives can still reach nearby shops, a pharmacy, or cafes independently.
