The Gardena Retirement Center has received mixed reviews from visitors and family members of residents. Some reviewers praise the facility for its cleanliness, friendly staff, and the personalized care provided to residents. They appreciate the homey atmosphere, the camaraderie among residents, and the culturally tailored services, particularly for the Japanese-speaking community. The center offers various activities, nutritious meals, and convenient medical services, which some families find reassuring. However, there are significant concerns about the management and operations of the facility. Several reviewers report issues with rude and unprofessional staff, inadequate staffing levels, and poor communication, particularly regarding the appointment-based visitation policy. This policy has been criticized for being inflexible and preventing families from visiting their loved ones in emergencies. Some reviewers have experienced difficulties in reaching staff by phone, with calls often going unanswered or being abruptly disconnected. There are also allegations of mistreatment and abuse, with some individuals planning to take legal action against the center. The facility itself is described as older and located in a less desirable neighborhood, with outdated decor and equipment. Despite these drawbacks, some families remain satisfied with the care provided, noting that their loved ones are content and well-looked after. Overall, while the Gardena Retirement Center has its strengths, particularly in cultural accommodation and resident activities, there are serious concerns about management practices and staff behavior that need to be addressed.
