Board and care homes in California typically charge $3,000 to $6,000 a month, depending mostly on how much hands-on care is needed. Assisted living base rent in South Bay usually runs $4,200 to $5,000 a month before care levels are added.

Public licensing data does not show which homes hold dementia or hospice waivers, or which can care for someone who cannot walk. We confirm that by phone with each home before we suggest it, at no cost to you.

Medi-Cal can pay for care services in some homes through the Assisted Living Waiver or CalAIM Community Supports, but it does not pay for room and board. Most residents cover that part from income such as SSI. Our Medi-Cal checker shows where you stand in two minutes.

The longest-licensed home in Torrance was first licensed in 1988, and the newest in 2025. 10 homes have been licensed since the start of 2024. A long license history is not a guarantee of quality, so always check a home's inspection reports at CDSS.
