Torrance Nursing Homes

Torrance has 12 skilled nursing homes, with 11 receiving Medicare ratings. The average rating is 2.5 stars out of 5, meaning most homes score poorly. Only three have 4 stars or better; seven are rated 2 stars or lower. The highest-rated home here is 5 stars, but this doesn't reflect the typical experience across the city. Families should expect significant variation in care quality.

Staffing data shows an average of 4.5 nursing hours per resident daily, with just 0.7 hours from a registered nurse. Annual nursing staff turnover is 37%, indicating frequent changes in caregivers. This high turnover and low RN time suggest challenges in consistent, skilled care. The 83% occupancy rate means beds are generally filled, but doesn't indicate care quality.

Los Angeles County has 88 hospitals, including 53 with emergency departments like Harbor/UCLA. Statewide, shared-room nursing home costs average $81,750 yearly. Given Torrance's low average ratings, families should consider better-rated homes in nearby cities. Checking the state's nursing home compare tool is essential for accurate, current data before making a decision.
