Pinewood Glen Senior Retirement Community

I visited Pinewood Glen Senior Retirement Community. They'll do the housekeeping, your towels and your sheets, but you do your personal laundry. They have a chef, but I'm on a special diet and their food wouldn't be something that I could eat and it's included in my payment. The place was clean. I visited with a few of the people that live there and they were nice. It was a place that I could possibly go to, but I walk with a cane and a walker. There's a lot of steps walking around and it's two stories. The single apartments are on the bottom and the lofts are on the second floor. There were 99 apartments. The staff was very nice. She accommodated the questions that I had and answered them for me. It was a nice experience. I felt safe in the location. It was just like some other apartment building. They lock the doors at 5:00, and they have a keycard, so if you're out after that, you can come back in. It was a nice atmosphere.

I just moved into Pinewood Glen Senior Retirement Community in Bakersfield. I chose the place because it was very affordable and they serve three meals a day. They have a dining room area for that or they serve you in your room. They have a very good weekly menu served at your door for the whole week. The food is tasty and very healthy. They allow pets, too. They're just friendly people and I could come and go as I please. The staff who assisted me during my move was very informative. She also filled out all the papers because I can't see in my left eye. She explained all the procedures and everything that I was signing. My apartment is a studio. It has a microwave and a refrigerator. It's unfurnished, so you have to bring your own furniture. It has a walk-in shower and a pretty nice bathroom with enough room for a wheelchair. As far as I know, they have bingo three days a week in the afternoon hours. They also have a puzzle group and a chapel, which is good.

Pinewood Glen Retirement Community is economical. You pay according to your income to live here. They serve us meals, but we're not happy with the food. It's not very good. Other than that, it's OK here. My room is satisfactory as is the staff and the services. They have a washroom, a recreation room, transportation around town, and they provide just about everything that we could need. They have bingo almost every day, movies, discussions, cards, and hobbies and crafts.
