What is Hamssa LLC?
Hamssa LLC is a senior living placement agency in Torrance, California. Its job is to help families choose a care home, not to run one. In its own words, the work is "to turn a confusing search into a short list of licensed homes that suit your parent's care needs, routine and budget."
Most of its callers are adult children whose parent can no longer live safely alone, a spouse whose partner needs more help than home can give, or a hospital social worker looking for a licensed home before a discharge. The agency says you do not need paperwork, a diagnosis, a move date or a firm budget to make the first call.
The kinds of housing it helps with, as listed on the site:
- Assisted living communities: larger buildings with apartments, dining rooms, activities and staff on site.
- Board and care homes: small licensed homes, usually a house on a residential street with a handful of residents.
- Memory care: homes and communities set up for a person living with dementia.
- Independent living: senior housing for people who still manage their own daily care.
- Respite stays: short stays in a licensed home while a family caregiver rests or recovers.
It does not place people in skilled nursing facilities (nursing homes). The site says those are a different, medically staffed kind of facility, and that the hospital discharge planner is the right first contact if a parent needs that level of care.
Who runs Hamssa LLC?
The agency is Hamssa Benrekia, and the site is clear that she works alone, with no employees. "You talk to Hamssa herself, every time," the home page says: the person who answers the phone is the person who builds the short list and comes on the tours.
According to her About page:
- She worked in hospice, palliative care and home health from 2013 to 2024, with seriously ill people and their families.
- She has placed families since 2023.
- She holds an RCFE Administrator Certificate, which the site describes as the certificate California requires of the person who runs a licensed residential care facility for the elderly, issued through the Department of Social Services' Community Care Licensing Division and renewed every two years with 40 hours of continuing education in regulations and dementia care.
- She is based in Torrance and says she knows many South Bay assisted living communities, board and care homes and the people who run them.
- She has presented to the City of Torrance Commission on Aging, and says her families come from hospital and hospice referrals, home care agencies and word of mouth.
Holding an administrator certificate does not make Hamssa LLC a care provider. It means she has trained in the rules that licensed homes must follow, which is useful when reading a home's record or an admission agreement. The About page also describes two placements in brief, with names left out: a father on hospice for whom she found a home that met the family's specific requirements, and a father with severe dementia where she kept searching for more than four months until a home within the family's budget was found.
Is Hamssa LLC legit?
Families usually ask this because a placement agency is a stranger who will see their parent's private situation. Here is what can be checked from the public record and the site itself:
- A named person, not a call center. The site names the one person you will deal with, gives her direct line, and publishes her work history and credential.
- A published fee model. It says plainly who pays it (the care home, after a move-in), that the amount differs from home to home, and that some homes have a written contract with her and some do not. It also tells families they are entitled to ask any agency how it is paid.
- Licensed homes only. It says every home it suggests is licensed by the State of California and that you can check any license yourself on the state's public Facility Search.
- Public reviews. The site quotes Trustpilot reviews in full with dates, and said Trustpilot showed 8 reviews in October 2026. Families describe her coming on tours, negotiating with owners and checking in after the move. One reviewer wrote that "her support didn't end once my father was placed." These are reviews the company chose to display; you can read the full set on Trustpilot.
- Written limits. Its disclaimer says it does not supervise, manage or guarantee any home, and does not give medical, legal or financial advice.
- A clear privacy line. The privacy policy says care and health information is gathered by phone or in person, not through the website form, and the form itself asks you to keep medical details for the phone call.
We have not quoted any outside rating. If independent references matter to you, ask Hamssa for a family or discharge planner you can speak to, and read the reviews on Trustpilot directly.
Is Hamssa LLC an assisted living facility?
No, and the company says some online directories get this wrong. Nobody lives at its Torrance address and it provides no care. It is a referral agency that helps families choose among licensed homes that other people own and operate.
That has three practical consequences:
- You don't visit an office. The Torrance address is a mailing address. Most first conversations happen by phone, and you meet Hamssa in person at the homes, on tour.
- Your contract is with the home. The family signs the admission agreement directly with the care home, which sets the monthly rate and is responsible for day-to-day care.
- Care complaints go to the home and the state. Concerns about care in a licensed home can be raised with California's Community Care Licensing Division.
Placement services, one by one
The site has a page for each situation. Each follows the same core steps (conversation, short list, tours, terms, follow-up), with details that differ by situation.
| Service | Typical situation the site describes | What is specific to it |
|---|---|---|
| Assisted living placement | Meals, pills and showers are being missed at home; caregiver hours keep growing; family lives out of state | Compares large communities with small homes; she says if a small home looks like the better match, she will say so |
| Board and care placement | A parent needs hands-on help or does better with a few familiar faces | Walks families through checking a home's license and citations; ten-minute tour checklist |
| Memory care placement | Wandering at night, a community saying it can no longer provide enough supervision, an exhausted caregiver | Explains California's dementia care rules effective 1 January 2025 and what to ask about exits, night staff and training |
| Hospital discharge placement | A parent cannot go home and the discharge date is close | Works alongside the discharge planner; explains the medical assessment form a home needs before admission |
| Hospice and board and care | A relative has started or is about to start hospice and needs a home where the hospice team can visit | Asks each home whether it holds a hospice waiver and has room under it |
| Respite stays | A caregiver has surgery, travel or simply needs rest | Short lists homes that have told her they can take a short-term resident for your dates |
| Independent living | A healthy parent wants meals, housekeeping and company but needs no daily care | Helps compare independent living with licensed assisted living; can point to home care resources |
| For social workers and discharge planners | A patient cannot return home and needs a licensed home | A referral line and form; she contacts the family and keeps the referrer informed, at no cost to the patient, family or facility |
The site also says she can point families to resources for applying for Medi-Cal's Assisted Living Waiver or CalAIM services, but she does not decide eligibility or process benefits.
The kinds of homes it helps you compare
A lot of confusion comes from names. The site's explanations, in short:
| Type | What it is | Licensed by |
|---|---|---|
| Board and care home | A small home, usually a house in a residential neighborhood, with a handful of residents and caregivers present day and night | California Department of Social Services, as a residential care facility for the elderly (RCFE) |
| Assisted living community | A larger building with apartments, shared dining, activities and more staff | The same RCFE license as a board and care home |
| Memory care | A wing of a larger community or a small house set up for people living with dementia | RCFE license, with added dementia care rules |
| Independent living | Housing with services such as meals, housekeeping, transportation and activities, but no hands-on care | Generally no care license, as long as no resident needs care and supervision |
| Skilled nursing facility | A medically staffed facility for nursing care and rehabilitation | California Department of Public Health (Hamssa LLC does not place here) |
The site's point is that in California a six-bed house and a hundred-apartment community can hold the same license. Every licensed home must provide care and supervision, three meals a day plus snacks, help with dressing, bathing and prescribed medications, regular observation and planned activities. What differs is size and feel. A small home often suits someone who needs closer hands-on help or finds crowds tiring; a larger community often suits someone social who needs light to moderate help.
How placement works, step by step
The How It Works page sets out six steps, each with what Hamssa does and what the family does.
- You call, text or write. Tell her what is happening and what prompted the search. A few minutes and an honest description are enough.
- A conversation about your parent. She asks about care needs, health conditions, daily routine, personality, preferences, where family lives and the monthly budget. The site says the budget question matters because it decides which kinds of homes are realistic. Have the medication list and the doctor's name handy if you can.
- A short list of homes she has checked. She suggests a small number of homes that fit, sometimes one small home and one larger community so you can feel the difference. She says she suggests only homes she has interviewed and toured herself, after reading each home's state licensing record for citations and complaints, and that she refreshes that research every month.
- Tours, together. She schedules the visits and comes with you every time, giving background on the owner and how the home has cared for other residents. Bring your parent if they are able.
- Choosing, terms and move-in. She can negotiate the rate with the administrator when it is close to your budget. Your family contracts directly with the home, which gives you the admission documents, including a medical assessment from your parent's clinician and the admission agreement. Read it before signing.
- Follow-up after the move. She checks in a couple of days after move-in and again a couple of weeks later, and stays available. If the home turns out not to be the right fit, she helps you find another.
How long it takes. The site does not promise a date. It says families planning ahead often take a few weeks to visit and decide, while a hospital discharge can move in days when the family, the discharge planner and the home all respond quickly. If you tour and like none of the homes, she looks again, and you can stop the search at any time.
From out of state. The site says many adult children work with her by phone, text, WhatsApp or email, together with family members who live locally. Ask her how tours can work if you can't be there.
How much does Hamssa LLC cost?
Nothing to the family. The site says the conversation, the short list, the tours and the follow-up are free for families. Here is the fee model as the company publishes it:
- Hamssa is paid a referral fee by the care home your parent moves into, after a move-in. The fee is not billed to the family.
- Some homes have a written contract with her and some do not, and the amount differs from home to home.
- If the home that best fits your parent pays her nothing, the site says she still recommends it.
- You are never obliged to choose a home she suggests.
The site also explains the other common model: some advisors and care managers charge the family directly, by the hour or a flat fee, and take nothing from homes. It says neither model is wrong, and suggests asking any agency five questions: who pays you and when; do you have an agreement with every home you are showing me; will you tell me about homes you do not have an agreement with; is every home licensed and how can I check; and will you come on the tours and stay in touch after the move. On whether a referral fee raises your rate, it suggests asking the home directly whether its rate is the same for a family that arrives on its own.
What the home itself costs
The home's monthly rate is a separate agreement between your family and the home, and it depends on the home, the room and the level of care. Hamssa LLC publishes one local figure:
| What | Published figure | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Hamssa LLC's placement help | Free for families | Paid by the home after a move-in |
| Care home, Torrance, shared room | From about $5,000 a month | "In Hamssa's own searches in Torrance" in 2026; now and then a shared room comes up for a little less. A private room or more care costs more |
| Short respite stay | Not published | Each home sets its own short-stay rate; ask for it in writing |
The site calls the $5,000 figure "a starting point for a conversation, not a quote." Ask every home for its admission agreement so you can see the base rate, care or level-of-care fees, extra charges, refund terms and rate increase history in writing.
How families pay for the home itself
Hamssa LLC does not apply for, approve or process Medi-Cal, veterans' or insurance benefits, and does not give financial or legal advice. Its pages summarize the main routes families use, citing public agencies:
- Private funds. The site cites the National Institute on Aging: most people pay for assisted living themselves, from savings, pensions, investment income or the sale of a home.
- Medicare. The site says Medicare does not pay for room and board in assisted living or other long-term custodial care.
- Medi-Cal Assisted Living Waiver. As the site describes it for 2026, the waiver operates in 15 counties including Los Angeles County, is for people with full-scope Medi-Cal and no share of cost who need a nursing facility level of care, pays for care but not room and board, works only in participating homes, and has a waitlist.
- VA Aid and Attendance. A monthly amount added to a VA pension for people who qualify; the VA decides eligibility.
- Long-term care insurance. Some policies cover part of the cost; call the insurer.
For eligibility questions the site points families to the VA, the insurer, a Care Coordination Agency for the waiver, or an elder law attorney. What Hamssa can do is talk through which homes may fit the budget you give her. The site also has a printable monthly budget worksheet (see below).
Help when a parent is leaving the hospital
This is one of the situations the site addresses in most depth. Its key points:
- Call as soon as you hear "discharge." Tell her where your parent is, what staff say they need, the expected discharge date, who the discharge planner or social worker is, and your monthly budget.
- Start the medical assessment early. A licensed care home in California must have a signed medical assessment before it accepts a resident. The site says the state form is the LIC 602A, renamed in 2025 from "Physician's Report" to "Medical Assessment," and that it must be signed by a licensed medical professional such as a physician, physician assistant or nurse practitioner.
- The home decides. Each home also does its own pre-admission appraisal of whether it can meet your parent's needs.
- Have documents ready: the signed assessment, the current drug list, the discharge instructions and health summary, any equipment such as a walker, and who has authority to sign.
With your permission, she can talk to the case manager. The site is careful about roles: the hospital team controls the discharge, the medical paperwork and transport; the home decides whether it can accept your parent; her part is the search, the tours and the terms. One Trustpilot review quoted on the site describes her following a father "from the hospital, to the skilled nursing facility, and finally to the long term care facility."
If you're not ready to choose a permanent home under a hospital deadline, the site suggests asking whether a short respite stay makes sense while you keep looking.
Help when a relative is on hospice
Given her hospice background, the site has a dedicated page. Its main points: hospice is a service that comes to where a person lives, not a building; the hospice team visits but does not stay around the clock; and a board and care home can be that place when it holds a state hospice waiver, has room under it and can meet the person's needs.
On money, the site explains that Medicare's hospice benefit covers hospice care (such as nursing, equipment and comfort medications) but, as Medicare states, not room and board. In a board and care home that means two arrangements: hospice for the medical side, and the home's monthly rate for the room, meals and daily help. When she builds a short list for a family in this situation, she asks each home whether it can accept a resident on hospice now. Questions about medications, comfort or whether hospice is the right choice, the site says, belong with the doctor and the hospice team.
Where Hamssa LLC works
The agency serves nine cities in the South Bay and Harbor area of Los Angeles County. If your parent lives nearby but not on the list, the site says to call and ask. Each city page lists local neighborhoods and public senior resources, and the areas page counts licensed care homes from California's public licensing data for 13 October 2026:
| City | Licensed homes | Licensed beds | Small homes (6 beds or fewer) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torrance | 91 | 1,330 | 82 |
| Redondo Beach | 7 | 288 | 4 |
| Rancho Palos Verdes | 39 | 667 | 36 |
| Rolling Hills Estates | 3 | 133 | 2 |
| San Pedro | 9 | 434 | 7 |
| Harbor City | 15 | 90 | 15 |
| Carson | 33 | 416 | 32 |
| Gardena | 6 | 138 | 5 |
| Long Beach | 55 | 2,157 | 43 |
| All nine cities | 258 | 5,653 | 226 |
The site notes that the state records each home's mailing city, so a home near a city line may be counted next door, and that "a license is not a rating." By that count, 226 of the 258 licensed homes in the nine cities are small homes with six beds or fewer.
Hours, languages and how to reach her
| Phone, text, WhatsApp | (310) 594-0694 |
|---|---|
| hamssallc@gmail.com (for longer notes and documents) | |
| Hours | Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm; Saturday and Sunday 9 am to 2 pm; urgent calls until 9 pm, every day (Pacific time) |
| Languages | English, Arabic and Spanish, including on tours |
| Where you meet | At the homes, on tour |
| Mailing address | 3655 Torrance Blvd, Ste 300, Torrance, CA 90503 (no meetings at this address) |
The site says she answers calls and texts right away unless she is on a tour or another call, and calls back as soon as she is free. The website itself is available in English, Arabic and Spanish. If your parent is in a hospital or rehab, the contact page asks you to give the expected discharge date first.
How homes are checked, and what the law says
The site describes her own checks: she suggests only homes she has interviewed and toured, reads each home's state licensing record (citations, complaints, what they were about and when) before suggesting it, and refreshes that research monthly.
It also encourages families to check for themselves, in five steps: get the exact licensed name and address; search the Community Care Licensing Division's public Facility Search; read the visits, complaints and citations (the site says it holds five years of information); call the Regional Office listed on the record for more detail; and ask the home for its latest licensing report.
On the agency side, the site cites California Health and Safety Code section 1569.47, which governs placement agencies. In the site's summary, an agency may not refer someone to a home providing care and supervision unless it is licensed (or exempt), may not place someone in a home that cannot meet their needs within its license, and must report homes it knows or suspects are operating without a license. You can read the statute on California's legislative information site.
How it compares with other ways to find a home
| Option | Who pays | What you get | Trade-offs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hamssa LLC (local placement agency) | The care home pays a referral fee; free to the family | One person, local short list, tours attended in person, help with terms, follow-up | Nine-city area; one person's schedule; ask how fees work for the homes you see |
| A large national referral website or call center | Usually paid by communities | Wide reach and many listings | Often phone-based; ask whether small board and care homes are included and whether anyone tours with you |
| A private care manager or fee-only advisor | The family, by the hour or flat fee | Advice not tied to any home's payments; often broader care planning | An out-of-pocket cost |
| A hospital discharge planner | Part of the hospital stay | Lists of facilities and the medical paperwork | Focused on the discharge date; usually does not tour with you |
| Searching on your own | Free | Full control | Time; small board and care homes are hard to find and compare; you read the licensing records yourself |
Who it suits, and who should look elsewhere
A good fit if you…
- Need a licensed assisted living, board and care or memory care home in Torrance, the South Bay or the Harbor area.
- Want someone to come on the tours with you, not just send a list.
- Are facing a hospital discharge or a relative on hospice and need homes that can accept them soon.
- Live out of state and need a local person to coordinate.
- Prefer to work in Arabic or Spanish.
- Want to keep the placement help itself free.
Look elsewhere if you…
- Need a skilled nursing facility; start with the hospital discharge planner.
- Need in-home care staff; Hamssa LLC does not provide care, though the site says it can point you to home care resources.
- Are looking outside the South Bay and Harbor area (call first to ask).
- Want an advisor paid only by you, with no referral fees involved.
- Need someone to handle Medi-Cal, VA or insurance applications.
Questions to ask before you start
- How are you paid by the homes on my short list, and are any of them homes that pay you nothing?
- When did you last tour each home, and what did its licensing record show?
- Which homes can accept my parent's specific needs now: dementia, hospice, a wheelchair, overnight help?
- Which homes have an opening for our timeline?
- What does each home's rate include, and what is billed extra?
- How does each home handle a change in care needs and the rate that goes with it?
- Who at the hospital or doctor's office should complete the medical assessment form?
- When will you check in after the move, and what happens if the home doesn't work out?
Free guides and planning tools on the site
Beyond the service pages, the site publishes a California Assisted Living Placement Guide with more than 100 plain-language guides in three parts: understanding the options, comparing homes and ways to pay, and choosing, signing and moving in. Topics include board and care costs, how to check an RCFE license, a tour checklist, memory care, Medi-Cal and paying for care. Each guide lists the official sources it relies on.
There is also a glossary of terms used by homes, hospitals and agencies, and three printable planning tools: a monthly budget worksheet (it only adds and subtracts and does not know any home's prices), a tour comparison sheet, and a move-in paperwork checklist. These are general information, and the site says so: they are not a substitute for a doctor, an elder law attorney, a financial adviser or the agency that runs a program.
How to get started
- Call, text or WhatsApp (310) 594-0694, or use the contact form. A few lines are enough; she calls back herself.
- Have the basics ready: where your parent is now, what has changed, the medication list, the doctor's name, a monthly budget range and any deadline such as a discharge date.
- Keep medical details for the call. The form asks you not to type health details into it.
- Review the short list and tell her what you like and don't like about each home.
- Tour together, ideally with your parent and anyone who shares the decision.
- Read the admission agreement before you sign, and check the home's license yourself.
Terms you'll see on the site
- Placement agency (referral agency): a business that helps families find a care home and is usually paid by the home.
- RCFE: residential care facility for the elderly, California's license for assisted living communities and board and care homes.
- Board and care home: a small licensed RCFE, usually in a house.
- Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD): the part of the California Department of Social Services that licenses and inspects RCFEs.
- Facility Search: the state's public website for a home's license status, visits, citations and complaints.

- Hospice waiver: state permission for an RCFE to keep or accept residents receiving hospice care.
- Respite stay: a short stay in a licensed home that gives a family caregiver a break.
- Assisted Living Waiver (ALW): a Medi-Cal program that pays for care, not room and board, in participating homes.
