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.

Overview of St. John of God Retirement

Studios, one-bed and two-bed layouts, and semi-private rooms make up the housing at St. John of God Retirement in Los Angeles. A studio gives one private space and nothing to negotiate. A two-bed or semi-private arrangement works for a couple, or for someone who would rather not sleep in an empty room.

Assisted living covers dressing, bathing, and medication, and the apartment stays the resident’s own. Memory care runs as a secured setting with supervision, which is often the point at which a spouse who has not left the house in a year can leave it again. Skilled nursing puts licensed nursing on site at any hour.

Errands mostly happen on foot here, at a walk score of 81. Shops, a pharmacy, and somewhere to sit with a coffee stay inside range for a resident who has given up driving, which keeps ordinary outings off somebody else’s calendar.

All three care levels sit in one community, so a resident whose needs grow changes level without leaving the people already familiar to them. 40 beds is a small building, which suits someone who would rather not be one face among hundreds. Five hours and six minutes of nursing lands on each resident’s day.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are the three routes. Medicare applies to short-term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than to a permanent address. Medicaid becomes relevant once savings stop covering a long stay, and private pay means the bill goes straight to the family. Day to day, Mary Arjene Aguirre runs the building, and St. John of God Retirement And Care Center is the operator that stands behind it.

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?

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.
