Redwood Senior Living Bakersfield

Kathy

We found Redwood Senior Living Bakersfield to be a calm place. Everybody seemed to be happy there. We've talked to some of the clients there, and they seemed well-adjusted. They had some pets there. We were kind of impressed with it, and we liked it. The guy that took us on a tour was very polite, very informative, and answered all of our questions. He was very good with the residents that were there. The bedrooms were okay. They were nicely cleaned and neat. There were some personal items in some of the rooms. The dining area was nice and roomy. We talked to some of the cafeteria people that cooked there, and they were nice. So overall, it was good. The building itself is old. It just needs some updating. But other than that, it was nice and clean, and there was no odor.

I had an in-person tour of Redwood Senior Living Bakersfield. The thing I like most is that they are willing to accommodate you. They provide diapers, which a lot of places won't. There's always someone there to help you bathe. They bathe you every other day, which is fine. They pay for cable, and they even furnish a monitor by your bed if you need assistance. It was a lot more affordable than most places in Bakersfield. The director, Anthony, he's really, really nice, and very caring. It's a little older than some of the other buildings. I talked to some of the staff there, and I met some of the clients, and they just said they love the place. If you go there, I feel that you should keep an open mind. What caught my eye is that they're willing to help me out with my sister-in-law with different things she needs and the price because everybody has to watch their budget. It's an older building. It's in an area off of Union, and a lot of people don't like it because it's an older area. When you look at the inside, the pricing, and all help you can get, that doesn't bother me one bit. I think the man told me they had someone to come in to do hair. I know they do a lot of games. They have a church there, and they have people come in to play music and do activities. I like the idea they have church and that they have activities. If you have to go somewhere, the ride is free. Where my sister stays right now, it costs me $3 every time she needs a ride. They have a van, and they'll transport you to the doctor or dentist's office for free. That's another plus and another saving. So that's a big deal.
