Villa Sorrento offers assisted living as its primary level of care. Residents can access a mental wellness program, diabetes management, and scheduled respite or short-term stays, ensuring continuity of support whether the stay is brief or long-term. The community is structured so daily living tasks—such as bathing, dressing, and mobility—are attended to by trained caregivers, while the medical team coordinates ongoing health plans with each resident’s personal physicians.

An on-site nursing staff is available up to sixteen hours a day, supported by an emergency call system in every apartment. Medication management, hospice oversight, incontinence services, ambulatory assistance, and diabetic monitoring are handled on the premises, complemented by visiting physical therapists and podiatrists. Routine needs such as laundry and dry cleaning are coordinated through the care team to minimize outside errands and keep attention centered on resident health and safety.

Apartments are private or semi-private and may include cable service, Wi-Fi, kitchenettes, phone connections, and central air conditioning. Some layouts open to outdoor areas or the community garden, and select units are near the library and computer lounge for convenient internet access. Covered parking is available for residents who still drive, and cats are welcome in designated apartments. Because floor plans differ, not every unit includes every listed feature, so families are encouraged to verify specific amenities during a tour.

Dining is provided three times daily in a restaurant-style setting with the option of in-room meal service. Menus accommodate low-sodium, gluten-free, vegetarian, and kosher requests, and healthy snacks are stocked throughout the day. Portion control and nutritional tracking are coordinated with the nursing staff for residents managing diabetes or other dietary conditions.

The activity calendar features off-site excursions, an in-house activity center, and organized social outings that range from shopping trips to local events. Residents can also join special-interest clubs and community groups, fostering social connection and continued engagement without leaving the campus.

Residents and their families say:

This community has received a lot of positive feedback for its dedicated staff and the quality of care provided to the residents. Reviewers often highlighted the cleanliness of the facility, the attentiveness and professionalism of the staff, and the wide range of activities available to keep residents engaged and entertained, including regular entertainment from singers and piano players, as well as daily activities like bingo and chair exercises. Many reviews also mentioned the reasonable cost of living in this community, especially considering the level of care and amenities offered, such as on-site cafeteria, meals that are described as healthy and well-balanced, and the presence of an elevator in the two-story facility which adds convenience for residents. The community’s location near Torrance Memorial Medical Center and its proximity to shopping and medical buildings were seen as advantageous.

However, there were some concerns and criticisms mentioned by more than one reviewer. The building’s older facility was noted, though this did not seem to detract significantly from the overall positive experiences. Some expressed dissatisfaction with the food, suggesting room for improvement in the dining services. The lack of modern payment options like electronic fund transfers was a frustration for at least one resident’s family, indicating a need for the community to update its payment systems. Another concern was the caregiver to resident ratio, which some found inadequate considering the number of residents. Accommodations for residents with dementia were noted as missing, which could be crucial for prospective residents needing such care. Despite these issues, many families and residents found great value in the services and environment offered by the community, with several indicating they would recommend it to others looking for a supportive and engaging place for their loved ones.
