Gardena Retirement Center is a licensed assisted living community that opened in 2011, and the state of California gave it license number 197607366, so you know they're following official rules, and they're around local places like Harbor UCLA Medical Center and CVS Pharmacy, which makes things a little easier if you need extra services. You'll see they offer both assisted living and memory care, with help for seniors starting at age 60 and extra support for people who have dementia or mild cognitive problems, along with a tailored dementia program for those who need it, so folks get care that fits what they need. Staff are on-site 24 hours a day and help with bathing, dressing, toileting, medication, diabetes, incontinence, transferring, and grooming-plus there's on-site nurses for 12-16 hours a day and help with arranging medical appointments or working with outside health agencies if your doctor asks for it. Each room, whether it's private or shared, comes with its own bathroom, an intercom system, and you can pick furnished or unfurnished, and most of the rooms let you go right out to a balcony or a courtyard if you want a little fresh air, and they also let you bring pets like cats or dogs.
There's regular daily housekeeping and weekly laundry, and the center's got personal options like mail and newspaper delivery, and residents get three meals a day with snacks, plus special Japanese lunches five days a week, and if you need a hand with your diet, there's dietary management with a nutritionist looking things over. Whether you're into morning coffee, weekly bingo, movie nights, or arts and crafts, they run quite a few social and cultural programs-language classes, exercises, outings in the area, resident-led activities, and daily events scheduled to get everyone moving and talking. The building itself has several dining rooms, a TV lounge, an activity room, a game room, a well-stocked library, a beauty salon, and barbershop, and even a wellness room, and if you step outside there's a quiet courtyard, walking paths, and gardens to help relax or stretch your legs a little. Elevator access makes getting around easier and there's plenty of parking for residents and visitors coming by, with visiting hours from 9 in the morning till 9 at night.
The staff cleans common areas every day and uses hand sanitizer and masks, and since COVID-19, they've taken steps to keep people safer, following guidance from CMS, CDPH, and CDC-so there might be times when visitors are limited. This place also supports the Assisted Living Waiver Program (ALWP) for those using Medi-Cal, and for folks who only need to stay short-term, respite care is available with a seven-day minimum in either private or semi-private rooms. You can expect in-house visits from a range of medical specialists, like general doctors, internists, a podiatrist, psychiatrist, ophthalmologist, or dentist if needed, and caregivers quickly respond through a 24-hour call system in each room. Gardena Retirement Center aims to help people keep as much independence as possible while making sure daily needs are met, and you'll find the atmosphere feels open, friendly, and supportive.
