View full state recordFamily Connected Memory Care Boutique is a 5-bed memory care home in Torrance, operated by dementia care advocate Lauren Mahakian and her team of certified memory care associates.

The facility offers comprehensive care management, therapeutic engagement programs including art therapy, music therapy, and sensory stimulation, plus family mediation and end-of-life support.
Excellent safety record
The FYI Safety Score™ is 9.9 out of 10 (Excellent), placing Family Connected Memory Care among the top-rated facilities in LA based on state inspection data. Zero citations and no substantiated complaints.
Specialized dementia care — not general assisted living
This isn't a general care home that also accepts memory care residents. The entire operation is purpose-built for dementia, run by certified dementia practitioners. If your loved one has Alzheimer's or another form of cognitive decline, this level of specialization matters.
Proprietary therapeutic programs
Programs like Live Love Art, STIMULI sensory therapy, and Music & Memory use creativity, sensory engagement, and music to promote connection and reduce agitation. These are evidence-informed approaches, not generic activity calendars.
Family support is part of the care model
The organization offers care management, family mediation, support groups, and caregiver workshops. They recognize that dementia affects the entire family, not just the resident — and they resource accordingly.
Boutique scale for maximum attention
At just 5 beds, every resident gets highly individualized care. In memory care specifically, small group size can significantly reduce agitation and improve quality of life.
Premium specialized care may come at a premium price
This level of dementia-specific programming, certified practitioners, and boutique scale suggests pricing at the higher end of the market. Contact the facility directly for current rates and understand the full cost of care.
Limited to memory care needs
This facility is designed specifically for residents with cognitive decline. If your loved one's primary needs are physical rather than cognitive, a general assisted living facility may be a better fit.
