How this estimate worksWhere this price comes from

The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly, seen September 9, 2026.

  • Only prices a home put out itself count: its own website, a listing it supplied, or a price Seniorly says the home confirmed. Prices a listing site shows without saying where they came from are left out.
  • Nearby homes are the nearest of the same size that publish a rate, widening from 3 to 40 miles until at least 8 do. The estimate starts from what they charge, then adjusts for this home’s size, state care approvals, Medi-Cal waiver participation, years licensed and the area’s prices.
  • Room, care-level, second-person and move-in lines come from what California homes publish on listing sites. Memory care uses Covelight’s researched premium over assisted living.
  • Totals add each line’s figure and combine the lines’ ranges as separate charges, because a home is rarely at the top, or the bottom, of every line at once.
  • We tested this estimate on 1,546 California homes that publish their own starting rate. It was within 10% of the real rate for 3 in 10 homes and within 25% for 7 in 10; the likely range held the real rate for 6 in 10 (September 12, 2026).
  • It cannot see this home’s specials, how it assesses care, or which rooms are open.
Avoid surprises on the billWhat changes the price, and what to ask
  • The care level

    Some homes charge one all-inclusive rate. Others add levels or points as needs grow. Ask how the level is set, who decides, and what the next level costs.

  • What is billed separately

    Medication management, incontinence supplies, transportation and a second person in the room are often extra. Ask for the list in writing.

  • Move-in costs

    A one-time move-in fee or deposit is common. Ask what it covers and whether any of it comes back if the stay is short.

  • Increases

    California requires at least 90 days’ written notice, with reasons, before a rate rises (Health & Safety Code §1569.655). A change in the resident’s care level is the section’s own exception and can be billed sooner.

Ask for the price

An estimate for planning, not a quote. A home sets the price after hearing about the care needed.

Licensing Program Analyst, Perry Scott arrived on 07/29/2026 for an unannounced inspection to follow up on a substantiated allegation of complaint investigation. On 01/27/2024, the Department concluded a complaint investigation visit regarding the following allegations: Resident wandered away from facility due to lack of supervision resulting in hypothermia and Staff did not notify police of missing resident. The licensee was cited for California Code of Regulations (CCR) 87466 Observation of the Resident and CCR 87211(a)(D) Reporting Requirements. At the time of the complaint visit on 01/27/2024, an immediate civil penalty of $500.00 was issued and the licensee was informed that an additional civil penalty might be assessed based on Health and Safety Code §1569.49(f). The Department has concluded an analysis and has determined that a civil penalty is warranted for serious bodily injury. The Welfare and Institutions Code Section 15610.67 defines serious bodily injury as “an injury involving extreme physical pain, substantial risk of death, or protracted loss or impairment of a function of a bodily member, organ, or of mental faculty, or requiring medical intervention, including but not limited to, hospitalization, surgery, or physical rehabilitation.” This is evidenced by R1 wandering away from the facility and hospitalized with hypothermia. Report Continued On LIC809-C Today, 07/29/2026, the Department will be issuing a civil penalty per Health and Safety Code § 1569.49(f) for a violation that the Department determines constitutes as serious bodily injury in the amount of $10,000.00. Since an immediate civil penalty of $500.00 was previously issued on 01/27/2024, the amount of the civil penalty issued today will be $9,500.00. Exit interview conducted. A copy of the report issued. Appeal rights provided. Dina Davis, Acting Executive Director, and signature on this report acknowledges receipt of the appeal rights, found on page two of LIC 421D.the state’s words, verbatim · CDSS document, Jul 29, 2026

The complaint was referred to the California Department of Social Services Investigation Bureau for investigation and was assigned to Investigation Bureau Investigator, Sonia Torre. As a part of the investigation, Investigator Torre obtained Torrance Police Department records (911 audio, Interrogation footage, Evidence receipts,) and subpoenaed Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) exam records for suspect and victim. The investigator obtained other related documents pertinent to the investigation. Additionally, the investigator conducted interviews with staff (S1-S9), witness (W1), and residents (R1-R3). The investigation revealed the following: Allegation- Staff sexually abused resident in care. It is alleged that a staff member (S1) sexually abused a resident (R1) while in care at the residential facility. It was reported that the staff (S1) was found in the residents (R1) room by a staff member with their pants down while the resident was lying in bed. On 04/15/25, from 10:33am-12:55pm, the department interviewed staff (S2-S6) and residents (R1-R3); On 5/27/25, at 03:00pm, the department interviewed witness (W1), On 6/18/25 from 9:54am-12:30pm, the department interviewed staff (S7-S9), and on 6/26/25 at 11:56am, the department interviewed former staff (S1) about the complaint allegation. During the course of the investigation, records were reviewed, and interviews were conducted with staff, residents, and former staff. The review of the facility records Disciplinary Action Notice (Dated: 02/10/2025), revealed staff (S1) had been disciplined for being in a resident’s room (unoccupied) for a prolong period of time during their shift. The review of Torrance Police Department records revealed staff (S2) stated that, at approximately 11:20am, they were attempting to contact staff (S1) via the radio with no success, which was not uncommon. Approximately ten minutes later, (S2) decided to search for (S1) and noticed the door to (R1s) room was locked. (S2) unlocked the door and when they walked in (S2) observed (S1) standing beside the bed with their pants and underwear pulled down just below their buttocks exposing their entire buttocks with resident (R1) who was wearing a diaper and shirt laying on the bed on their right side facing away from (S1). (S2) immediately walked out, reported the incident to staff, management and Torrance PD. S1 denied the allegation that staff sexually abused resident in care but was ultimately arrested by the Torrance Police department. Based on interviews conducted, and records reviewed, the preponderance of evidence standard has been met. Therefore, the above allegation Staff sexually abused resident in care, is found to be Substantiated.

What does Oakmont of Torrance cost?

$7,395 a month to start — listed by the home on Seniorly · September 9, 2026.

The home lists this starting rate on Seniorly, seen September 9, 2026.

Among 132 other homes of a similar licensed size across Los Angeles County that publish a starting rate, the middle half runs $3,288 to $5,928 a month, and the middle figure is $4,498 (n = 132 other homes publishing a starting rate).

Each of those is a home’s own published figure, gathered on its own date between September and October 2026 — not an average of ours, and not a survey. Similar size means small and mid-size homes counted together, and large communities counted on their own, because they are different markets.

A home outside the band is not overcharging or underpricing: a starting rate covers different things in different homes, which is the first thing to ask about.

The price is made in the phone call. Nothing here is a quote, an offer or a discount.

A starting rate is the room and the base care. California homes commonly bill care levels, medication management, supplies, transport and a second person in the room as extras. Many also charge a one-time fee at move-in. Ask for that list in writing before anything is signed.

Only prices a home put out itself count here: its own website, a listing it supplied, or a price a listing site says the home confirmed. Prices a site shows without saying where they came from are left out.

On Medi-Cal’s Assisted Living Waiver: this home is not on the DHCS participation list dated October 1, 2026. Ask the program about current options. The waiver pays for care services, not room and board.
