Overview of Harbor Terrace Retirement Community

Two hundred and two beds, thirty years of history, and a Walk Score of 94: Harbor Terrace Retirement Community occupies a mid-rise building at 435 W 8th St in San Pedro, California, offering studio and one-bedroom units. That Walk Score puts the surrounding area solidly in walker’s-paradise territory, so daily errands rarely require a car.

Staffing runs around the clock here, and daily life includes restaurant-style dining and housekeeping handled for residents. The amenity list runs long: a coffee parlor, a library, a salon, and massage therapy services alongside a full calendar of educational, social, recreational, and wellness programming.

Occupancy currently sits at 35 percent, with 70 of the 202 beds filled. That’s a meaningfully lower number than what a facility this established and this well-located might suggest.

Harbor Terrace Retirement Center Of San Pedro, LLC operates the property, and Holly Rice serves as administrator. State inspections in California have tended to center on medication management, staffing credentials, and resident rights and protections.

Harbor Terrace brings together three decades of operating history, an unusually walkable location, and a wide amenity list, though the current occupancy rate is a detail worth factoring into how families weigh this community against others in the area.

Licensed since 2020, the community serves residents in Los Angeles County. It is operated by Pacifica Somerfield LLC and Northridge SL Mgr LLC under administrator Benedict Pak.

Falling below California’s average is the inspection record. Since 2021, Northridge Valley Senior Living totaled 12 citations against a California average of 10, with 19 complaints compared to a state average of 14 and complaint visits at 19 versus a state average of 13. Citations per routine inspection run 0.4 against a 3.3 California average, with citation activity driven primarily by complaint investigations instead of standard inspections.

Overview of Fountainview at Eisenberg Village

Fountainview at Eisenberg Village is a two-story nursing home, assisted living, and independent living community in Reseda, a Los Angeles County neighborhood. Kathleen Glass is the administrator; the address is 6440 Wilbur Ave, and Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center is about 1.42 miles away. Sixteen years in operation. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted.

The facility has 216 beds, but only 104 are occupied right now, which is a 48% occupancy rate. That gap is real and worth thinking about if you’re trying to picture what daily life looks like at a lower-census building. The average stay here is 368 days. This is mostly a long-term community, not a short-term rehab stop.

Nursing care comes to 2 hours and 57 minutes per resident per day: 40 minutes from an RN, 40 minutes from an LPN or LVN, and 2 hours and 19 minutes from a nurse aide. There’s also an on-site Nurse Aide Training and Competency Evaluation Program, which is a CMS-recognized credential track. On the engagement side, the facility runs an Active Resident Council, an Active Family Council, a Residents Group, and a Family Member Group. All four meet regularly around care quality, policies, and everyday life. Pets are allowed.

State inspections have focused on medication management, emergency preparedness, and staffing credentials. The Walk Score is 49, so the area isn’t particularly walkable, and most errands are going to need a car.

For families looking at long-term placement in the San Fernando Valley, the core pieces are here: Medicare and Medicaid acceptance, a major hospital less than two miles away, and over a decade and a half of operating history. The occupancy number is the one thing worth raising directly with the facility.

The average monthly cost of assisted living in Los Angeles, CA is approximately $6,500. Actual rates vary by community, level of care, and floorplan.

What is the price range for assisted living in Los Angeles, CA?

What is the typical staff-to-resident ratio at assisted living facilities in Los Angeles, CA?

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in California?

Assisted living in California supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in California?

Assisted living in California is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does California Medicaid cover assisted living?

California Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including California) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.
