Pacifica Senior Living Bakersfield
5.0

Very welcoming and friendly informative food is good, it's a bit overwhelming for mom, were hoping this works. We have never done anything like this, so are not sure what to expect.

The Pointe at Summit Hills in Bakersfield, CA
4.9

The Pointe at Summit Hills is the perfect fit for my Mom. I was very impressed with every staff member I met during my 2 visits prior to deciding to place my Mom here. From the front desk staff, to the servers, and even the groundskeeper and maintenance guy… they ALL knew the residents names and something about each one of them, and the residents in return knew the staff personally. Mom needed to feel like this was HER HOME, and from day one she was welcomed and comfortable. I couldn’t have asked for better care or atmosphere!

Palm Vista Senior Living in Palmdale, CA
4.6

Palm Vista is going well right now, but the only set back is they are not equip with security measures to have someone with a dementia diagnosis in assisted living they have to be in memory care. However, the care staff is friendly and positive and we would recommend this community to other families.
