Huntington Retirement Hotel has 1 serious state citation and 2 verified complaints since 2021 across 29 inspections, with the most recent inspection in February 2026. The majority of the 59 complaints filed during this period were found unsubstantiated or unfounded, including multiple allegations of verbal abuse or inappropriate conduct by staff in 2023 and 2025, 2 separate investigations into resident deaths in 2025 (both unfounded), a 2025 allegation of delayed meal service, and a 2024 allegation that a resident sustained a leg injury from a dilapidated bed frame. A 2023 complaint alleged a resident developed a pressure injury while in care; inspectors reviewed hospice care orders, repositioning protocols, and facility skin care documentation. A separate 2023 complaint alleged the facility overcharged a resident; records showed the facility identified a retroactive billing discrepancy from 2022 and cleared the balance. Staff training on resident rights and communication was documented across multiple inspections from 2023 through 2025, and residents interviewed in December 2025 indicated management had addressed prior concerns about staff conduct.

Excellent safety record
The FYI Safety Score™ is 9.7 out of 10 (Excellent), placing Huntington Retirement among the top-rated facilities in LA County based on state inspection data.
37 years of continuous operation
Licensed since 1988, this is one of the most established assisted living communities in the South Bay. Nearly four decades of operation means deep institutional knowledge, established care routines, and a proven track record.
Torrance is a great location for senior living
Torrance offers mild coastal weather, excellent hospitals (Torrance Memorial and Little Company of Mary), and a safe, well-maintained community. It's one of the South Bay's most livable cities.
Accepts Medi-Cal through the ALW program
For a well-established facility in a desirable South Bay location, ALW participation makes this accessible to families who might otherwise be priced out of the area.
155 beds is a large operation
At this capacity, the community functions more like a hotel than a home. If personal, intimate care is a priority, the size may not deliver the one-on-one attention smaller homes can provide.
Very limited website information
The facility's website provides minimal detail about services, pricing, daily life, or staff. Only one page of content was accessible. You'll need to call or visit to get any meaningful information.
Facility age may show
While remodeled, a building operating since 1988 may show its age in infrastructure. When you tour, pay attention to the condition of common areas, individual units, and bathroom facilities.
Pricing is estimated, please contact the facility to confirm.
