The Best Assisted Living Communities in Kern County, CA

"We just went through the housing and they just showed me around the dining room and the apartment. The rooms were nice. "

"Very nice staff, working very well even considering covid. Communication with us so very greatly appreciated. Thank you!"

"The staff was really friendly and helpful. The rooms in the assisted living were nice. I'm kind of more interested in the memory care, but the rooms were not as nice as the assisted ones. You'd be kind of left in there in memory care, but they're still nice. They have a whole planned out schedule for each day for them to do (activities and stuff). The memory care people were just kind of get wheeled around. They're in wheelchairs and some of them walk with their walkers, but they all looked good and well taken care of. They had a good food selection on the menu. The only thing is the price is a little higher than I thought. Otherwise, I wouldn't change anything else."

"I liked the layout of Ivy Park at Seven Oaks and that it's a dog-friendly facility. The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful on the tour. We were told about everything. They just got bought out by somebody so they're still kind of going through some changes, but overall, it was a nice facility and there are a lot of options for the assisted living part. The rooms were a nice size. They have a courtyard, dining, workout room, an arts and crafts room, and entertainment. They also have a doctor that comes in once a week, which I think is very nice and convenient."

"The facility smells clean, the staff are courteous and caring. And their price is the lowest in the area. "

"The caregivers here are great here. All the staff are caring and so kind. If you can't be at home they all strive to make your stay comfortable and happy. I broke both my ankles and had surgery to put me back together. I'll be here until I heal so about another 4 weeks. I'm in great hands."

"Hallmark of Bakersfield is excellent all the way around. Good environment, the people are friendly, and they are very excellent caretakers. They have very good food and a really excellent cook. They have a lot of activities -- like they do parties for different holidays, and they have Bingo and other games, and a bus that takes them out. They do something every day. My friend really likes it there. She likes how the workers take time in helping and assisting her as well as the friendly atmosphere of the place. "

"Candice Home Care is a small but nice private house. It's three or four bedrooms owned by a Filipino registered nurse. Right now, they only have three or four guests. Two of them are actually in the hospital with illnesses. They have a live-in staff for 24 hours a day; usually one fellow is there in the morning, but two people are on staff if the owner is there. The sanitation is fine. I would recommend them to others. However, they do not have activities. The only thing I'm not happy about is the food. It's mediocre, nothing special. "

"Rosewood Senior Living Community is a good facility. The staff was nice, and the rooms are good. I saw people walking and also saw some painting. They also have a swimming pool, and they have locked-in doors. "

"My mother is in Jasmin Terrace at Bakersfield. It's bigger than it looks from the street. From the street, it looks very small, but it goes back in a big triangle and has a kind of courtyard in the center of it. It's very simple. It's not a fancy place. It's very clean. They come in and sweep and mop and dust my mom's apartment every day. The staff is extremely friendly. She has a pull cord, and when she pulls it, they come right away and assist her to go to the restroom. They bring her meals to her room. She has a lot of difficulty walking. They would wheel her to the dining room if she wanted to go, but she didn't want to. I know they offer bingo. They offer certain movies in the dining hall. They offer wheelchair aerobic kind of things. They've been just extremely good to her. It's not perfect, but I feel really good about them. It's very good. She's very happy to be there."

"Summer Springs Board and Care is really good. It's managed by a family and the people that run it lives on site. It's owned by a couple, an RN and a physical therapist. The in-laws are the licensed caregivers. It's very family-oriented. When dad gets restless, they take him for a ride in a car or takes him to their house for a little while and gives him the change of scene. It's not as fanciest, but they really care about the people. They never know when I'm coming because I go different days and different hours. They have stationary bike and he rides that, he can go for a walk, and they play games with him. They bathe him and make sure he's clean. He's eating and he's happy. They bring him to church on Sunday. He gets two free rides to doctors during the month, and that's unusual. They do the laundry. I told them I'll take the laundry I'm going to do it, and they do it. So I can't believe how bless I was to find them. They kept their word on everything. So I'm very happy. "

"Their rooms are really clean and tidy! Some of them are really spacious and nice! They are mostly a home setting, so it's like being taken care of at our own home 24 hours a day. I noticed they're very patient and caring people. Even when they're busy, they take the time to listen to our requests and needs. And they do their best to prioritize our family and decide what's best for my grandmother given the circumstances. When my grandmother was suffering from a bad flu, they immediately let us know and were able to clearly communicate how she was doing and showed their concerns and advised us on what to do. I got to say, if it weren't for their help, I doubt my grandmother would have recovered. When my grandmother was there, I noticed that the residents like to play bingo sometimes and that the staff would also help them with some daily exercises. I strongly recommend this facility for anyone wanting compassionate and experienced people!"
