Nursing Home Communities in Delano, CA

"This is an older facility that is part of a family owned and managed organization with three other locations. I found it disconcerting that I was given permission to roam about without a guide being that I was a stranger. They were hosting a concert in the dining room for patients and family. I detected some mild urine odors in the hallways. The rooms are semi-private and dark. It was mid-afternoon when I visited, so many of the patients were napping. The posted menu was standard fare you'd find in a hospital. This is an ok facility that deals with mostly Medical patients. "

"My father-in-law was in Kern River Transitional Care before he passed away. They were very good. They took excellent care of my father-in-law and answered any questions we had. They made it a lot easier with what was going on. It's very nice, very well kept, and clean. They have a very caring staff. His food looked very good. I know they had a physical therapy area. They had an area for the people that could exercise on their own, in the exercise room. They had a little beauty shop. They had an area where they go and play games with my father-in-law."

"My sister is a current patient of this facility and I am up there at least twice daily checking on her. When I first arrived, the day she came I was totally blown away by how clean the front admittance area was!, also that ice water/cups were in abundance in the foyer for anyone. The staff were very friendly and helpful and very alert as to the guidelines from CDC. I met and spent some time talking to the marketing manager, Brenda, who is absolutely amazing in my book! They have a dog, Skyler I believe his name is, who visits there a lot and is a huge hit with residents!- I’m a dog lover and rescuer, so this was big for me! I felt very comfortable with facility and staff so much that I almost asked for a work application!- too bad I’m too old!"

"My wife is at Healthsouth Bakersfield right now. They're very good, and they're there every 15 to 20 minutes. They take her to the restroom, and they take her blood pressure every hour. They administer her insulin and all her medication morning and night. They also feed her well. The people are very friendly and professional. I am lucky to have her, to be honest. The doctor comes in twice a day to check on her, and the nurses call him if there's something amiss, so it's a good quality place. "

"We already placed him at Kern Rehabilitation. We are very happy and very satisfied with it. The staff is very nice and very helpful. We really like them a lot, and they really take care of them. It is really close to my home. It is only like a mile from my home, and I just like the whole atmosphere, with the people there and the doctor. They have activities there. They have different things -- like my dad does walking -- and they play games. The have like little concert singing groups. They just have different activities. "

"When my loved one was released from a primary hospital her goal was to return to her home. She went to Evergreen where she received excellent care. She had a great room with lots of space and big windows. The nursing staff was knowledgable and efficient while always being polite and considerate. While the patient is their primary concern, they were very kind and accommodating to family and friends as well. The physical therapy and occupational therapy professionals were wonderful. They gave her opportunities to progress at a comfortable rate and were flexible enough to work with her when she was ready. When the time came, administrative staff helped to coordinate with hospice and made sure her last days were comfortable. Staff was even more attentive, making sure we all had the support we needed. God bless all the wonderful people at Evergreen for their skill and compassion! "
