The Best Senior Living Communities in Wasco, CA

"We toured and the staff was wonderful. They were all very nice. It seemed clean. The people there are pretty happy and it was nicely appointed. They showed us some menus. They have music and they have chair exercises. They have a general receiving area. They have a nice dining room and a couple of seating areas. They have a courtyard. The rooms were nice. The bigger ones were fine but the average ones were on the small side. They have a microwave and a small refrigerator."

"The care that Columbus Estates provides to my mother-in-law is excellent and the staff is excellent. The food is not very good, probably because of the situation right now. They are doing puzzles, and they do door-to-door little paper activities that they can play and participate in. Her apartment is spacious and has a kitchenette but no stove, just a sink and refrigerator."

"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."

"My uncle really liked The Pointe At Summit Hills. The apartments were very nice and the place was very clean. We were checking out their assisted living and memory care, and Bridget was very helpful and very nice. They do exercise, they have activity rooms where you could go in and play bingo or different games and stuff, and a theater that you could watch a movie in. Everything looked really good. I was very impressed with it."

"Ive be n a physical rehabilitation patient for almost two weeks and want to say I found the nursing staff here very kind and caring..really nice I am also impressed with the physical and the habilitation people who are consideratw and kind Thw food although sometines spare time s usually very good I recommend this facility."

"I toured Carrington of Shafter. Overall, the staff was overwhelmingly welcoming and gave us a lot of information. The home was an older house, but it had a real homey feeling. All the patients' doors were open and you could see that they had their belongings. And there was a community center where the staff was doing puzzles with them, and they were watching TV. It just seemed like everybody there was at home and comfortable. They were 1-bedrooms in appearance, the size of someone's bedroom. You could either bring your own stuff in, or they provided a bed and a nightstand. But most of them had personal belongings, pictures, they all seem to have TVs and recliner chairs. So it was just their own little area. The place is well kept and very clean. They had a service room for church facilities and Bible study. They had a recreation room that was very large with couches and chairs, tables and chairs for games, a kitchen area, and a TV. It was quite large, and it had windows to the side that have a patio for outdoor visiting. They have an onsite beauty salon and a dining area. And it's also attached to a senior apartment that does not have assisted living, but you get to eat there. So if you're older and you can take care of yourself, there are apartments and then you also get to use any of the facilities there. The dining area was very large, was well lit, and had windows. It looked like there was a piano in there, so maybe people could come and visit. It was a very large spread-out area, so it wasn't compacted, they didn't have the cafeteria filled. It just looked like maybe more of a dining hall."

"My husband was in Valley View Care Center (Browning Manor Convalescent Hospital). It was clean, it's an older facility, seemed like it was kept clean, and looked like they had plenty of staff. Of course with COVID and stuff it got down to we could only go for a half hour at a time, which I understand that's the way it is. The only food he was given was sort of thickened water because he had trouble swallowing. He's lost a lot of weight because he can't swallow well, so they were worried about him choking. The staff seemed all friendly, I just wish the whole staff would have been able to work with him. He's hard of hearing and they had their masks on, and so the communication was really bad. The two ladies we talked to, one was personal, what was in records, and the other was intake, but the communication with those two was not good. My daughter did most of it, doing the phone calls and trying to get the help, and trying to get physical therapy, and I wouldn't recommend it."

"My mother moved into Sage Care Homes. It is a private care home. The workers and the owner are fantastic with their clients. There isn't anything that I don't like. They are attentive, caring, and always willing to work a little harder to make sure their clients are happy. My mom says the food is good. The place is very clean and nice. They play cards, and they play games to keep them active. They take them for walks. They let them dress up on Halloween and give out candies."

"My mom is a resident of Advent Residence Home. It's a nice place. There are only six patients in the home, and it's a good-sized home. There's always someone on staff, and they have home cooking. Some people have their own rooms, and some people share. We've compared them to other places, and they're a little bit more expensive, but she has her private room and bathroom, so they're okay."

"I love Bethany Joy Garden. I love all the people there. My husband is treated extremely well, and I'm happy with him. It's home. I think everybody there is wonderful, and they take great care of him. My husband is not able to do activities, but they offer different stuff for some of the other clients. The dining area is beautiful. The upkeep is excellent. It's clean and nice."

"My dad moved into Paradise Gardens last October. It's a private home, for one thing. It's not an institution. I like the fact that it was homey. It was very warm. It smells good. They have animals. My father loves animals. And so they have dogs and cats that interact with the residents. The staff was very, very welcoming and very warm. It was pretty, and they had a nice backyard. My father has a beautiful, private room, private bath with a beautiful view of the backyard. So it was a nice place. They only have one roll-in shower, and it's actually in someone else's room. It would be nice if all of the showers are roll in, if they put up the money to make them all roll-in showers."

"We chose A Comfort Care Home because they're much more attentive and caring than other larger homes. The appearance of the place is good, it's clean, and comfortable. The food is different, but we're adjusting to it and they're very open to what we want to eat or how we want to eat it. Their facilities are adequate for us."
