When you look for someone that you love so much, you hope, but can't usually expect, to find a…read moreplace to truly and tenderly care for them as much as you would like to. I found a place like that for my mom. I had initially located it in 2021 when I was looking for a place for my step-dad, but it didn't work out for him. Just after the holidays this year, when my mom was getting ready to be discharged from a rehab facility, I went back to check on availability. Gregg, the owner, went out of his way and met my mom in the rehab, and took the time to talk to her and get to know her. I really appreciated that. When mom got there, she was greeted by Chelsea and Jimmy, who are the lead care takers there. Chelsea and Jimmy met her with so much care and warmth, that mom instantly felt at home. She got along with all of the other ladies there, and the had meals together and watch TV and, and we would go for walks in the evenings. Jimmy, whom my mom took to calling "Greenie" (I think because of his eye color?) would make meals for them. My mom loved it there, and she felt safe and cared for. Gregg coordinated closely with hospice when the time came, and was there to ease the transition when she passed. I hope you never have to be in a position to put a loved one into a board and care, but if you do, I pray that it is a place like this one. Thank you, Gregg, Jimmy, Chelsea, Ann Marie, Adair, Julie and MJ for taking such good care of mom.

Anybody can keep a building sanitary, but the intangible feeling of retaining your dignity is almost an art from this staff. I truly am grateful. Thank you all. Sincerely, Fred Sottile

We lived in our own house in West Torrance since 1971. During the last two years we decided to tour…read moreassisted living facilities in our area and further south. We also were concerned that just taking tours with a sales person was misleading. We were aware that people were leaving one failed facility and going to another with the hope of better treatment. We felt uncertain about leaving our beautiful home and moving into this unknown world. We have been at Cogir of South Bay for just over a month. We are going no further. We are here to stay! We are both overjoyed with our decision. Each day brings us a dining room with our new friends. We all have learned to expect a tasty and attractive looking meal will be presented to us. In our past we only dined so well on special occasions at our favorite expensive restaurants. At dinner time I get my wine. Instead of sleeping in late and watching lots of TV, we attend the 9:30 AM exercise classes in the gym or outside alongside the pool. In addition, we now do our weekly exercises at 1:30 PM inside the heated pool when the sun is strongest. Today the pool water temperature was over 90oF and the air was 73oF. The pool exercises included music and aquatic hardware to enhance our experience. I love my daily swim. Thursdays, before dinner, there is always going to be a singer who performs alongside the bar and also comes up to each of us seated at our table. It already started. We enjoyed our drink from the bar, snacks from the side table, and a bouquet of flowers on our table. A resident took the microphone from the performer and did a few songs that he mastered during his singing lessons. Two couples got up and danced. One of the assistants working for Cogir took the microphone and sang Edith Piaf's famous song and sang it French. My hands were sore with all the applause. There is an exercise room loaded with weights and other typical hardware that I use, a game room where we learned how to play adult dominoes, and an arts and crafts room where my wife just painted a silk scarf under the supervision of a guest artist. And all that was in the past few days. We enjoy the trees, shrubbery and plants that surround every area. They were each planted at their full size. It is a pretty scene when we look down at the grounds from our balcony, day or night. When there is a breeze, it is even more enjoyable. We have a pantry, refrigerator, freezer, stove and microwave that we have not yet used. Why shop, cook and clean-up when your meals are prepared for you? I store my socks and underthings in the empty food pantry. We no longer have monthly TV, electricity, gas, and garbage pickup expenses. Since this place is brand new and all expenses are included, we don't worry about scheduled maintenance and surprise repair bills typical of our 50-year old home. Since I was an engineer I focused on the material parts of Cogir. What make this place run smoothly are the executive director and her staff. The Matre D' in the dining room makes each meal personal. WIth great satisfaction, Dr. Paul and Gretel Lieberman

Due to declining health of a relative, I have had more interaction with the staff and found them to be responsive, caring, empathetic, friendly. Sometimes the cleaning staff does unwittingly throw away esoteric, specialty food given by friends & relatives to my resident relative since the staff is not sure of its shelf lIfe, but the complaint by my relative's earlier claims of missing personal items possibly by staff members now seem to be unsubstantiated. Overall, Spring presently is a desirable assisted living home. The residents are from middle class backgrounds so there is an air of civility and dignity. The facilities are clean with a comfortable "living room" for residents to gather for directed activities & occasional entertainment. My past review and others' reviews were not as complimentary, but under Linda Hiles and the amenable staff, I feel Spring would be good to look into for an assisted living situation. For pictures of Spring, refer to my previous review below.

My mother and father moved into the Kensington recently after living at New Horizons in Torrance…read morefor close to ten years. Both are in their 90's and, as you can imagine, moves like these aren't easy. After many years of preparing for the day they would require assisted living, I chose The Kensington. I did a few years' worth of research and ultimately it was very clear to me that The Kensington has no real competition. Moving in couldn't have been easier and the staff went out of their way to be incredibly helpful. Once in, the real test was whether The Kensington was all it had been hyped up to be. This is where I get a little choked up. Robert May's staff at The Kensington might be the finest group of people I have ever met. In the few months that my mother and father have lived there, I've met dozens of staffers and every one of them are filled with an energy that is equal parts love, compassion, hardworking, and authenticity. It's very clear that the training provided to the Kensington staff is top shelf and you find it in everything they do. I would love to share the names of the individuals who have had such a positive impact on my parents' happiness, but there are too many to mention here. The Kensington has roughly 120 residents with a staff of more than 180. That should tell you a lot about the attention the residents receive from the staff. In my opinion, the staff is everything. In addition to those who provide the day to day caretaking of the Kensington residents, there are staff nurses who do blood work, x-rays, and administer meds. Additionally, optometry and podiatry services are included, with insurance and/or Medicare often covering the cost. There is a beauty salon for hair and nails, a movie room with a new film each day, a TV/Library gathering room with large screen TV and incredibly well-curated live entertainment at 4:00 p.m. each day before dinner. The grounds at the Kensington are more than well-manicured and nicely appointed. The entire compound is spotless and there is always someone attending to something to keep it that way. The art on the wall celebrates The South Bay and the garden area is equal parts Huntington Library and Beverly Hills Hotel. When you mention The Kensington to people who are familiar with the home, you get a positive response every time. When discussing assisted living, the cost is commonly brought up as an obstacle. I did the math, I crunched the numbers and I read the reviews. I spoke to many people whose parents have transitioned to other local assisted living homes and I took copious notes. In the end, I found The Kensington to be very fairly priced, especially for what is provided. In all fairness, it is probably less expensive in consideration of all of the amenities. I can't help but mention again how fantastic the Kensington staff is. When you entrust the care of your elderly parents to someone else, it creates a lot of anxiety and second guessing. Realistically, who would treat your parents as well as you think they deserve to be treated. I can attest that The Kensington treats my parents like gold and the positive impact this has had on my parents and me is overwhelming. I would like to thank Robert May for putting together a team that has created such a wonderful place for my parents to live and call their "home". If you love your parents, give them the gift of The Kensington.

And the people are so attentive and kind that I'm assuming the care is excellent. Tiffany was kind enough to give us two full tours, and the second time sent me off with a sweet bottle of wine. In appearance and ambience, it compares to a five star hotel, which provides live music, art classes and a small library, to boot! If it does ever happen that one of us needs extended care, this place would be our top choice.

I didn't want to rush the decision and I was waiting for that feeling of certainty that we'd found the place. I'm so glad that Peninsula Point was on my list! From the start, Jennifer from the marketing department made the experience exceptional. She was warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping us understand what life at Peninsula Point, and assisted living in general, would look like. Her kindness and transparency immediately put me at ease. I also had the chance to meet Julius, the Executive Director, and he was equally amazing. He took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly and honestly, and even shared his personal cell number so I could reach out anytime as I navigated the process. That level of accessibility and care is rare, and it meant a lot to me. It feels great knowing that Peninsula Point is the right place for my parents, and the best part is, they feel the same way. We're all excited for their move-in date, and I feel confident knowing they'll be in such a supportive, well-run community. Highly recommend Peninsula Point to anyone searching for a truly exceptional assisted living facility!
