Why we like it

Angel Assisted Living Services is a 6-bed residential care facility in Torrance, licensed since 2010. The facility's website connects to Visiting Angels Torrance, a home care agency owned by Duane Karons and Marian Sullivan-Karons, who are deeply rooted in the South Bay community.

The operation serves Torrance and surrounding areas including Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Gardena, and Lawndale.

  • Excellent safety record

    The FYI Safety Score™ is 9.6 out of 10 (Excellent), with zero substantiated allegations across the review period. A strong safety track record for 15 years of operation.

  • Owners who understand caregiving personally

    Owner Duane Karons went through open-heart surgery and recovery with the help of his own caregivers. That personal experience of being on the receiving end of care shapes how this operation approaches caregiving. It's not theoretical empathy.

  • 15 years of established operation

    Licensed since 2010, with the parent Visiting Angels organization providing decades of home care experience. The owners are active in the community through local church and tennis club, and have earned multiple industry awards including Provider of Choice and Trusted Provider.

  • South Bay convenience

    Located in Torrance with service connections across the South Bay — Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach. If your family is in the South Bay, this is a convenient location for regular visits.

  • Website describes home care, not residential care

    The linked website is for Visiting Angels' in-home care services, which are delivered at clients' own homes. The 6-bed residential facility may operate differently. Visit the actual location and ask specifically about the residential care experience.

  • Small home means limited amenities

    A 6-bed operation won't have the fitness center, pool, or activities program of a larger community. The tradeoff is more personal attention and a home-like environment. Decide which matters more for your loved one.
