The Palms of San Lauren in Bakersfield, CA

I would definitely recommend them to my friends. They had an awesome staff and a great Director. My uncle was very happy there.

Pacifica Senior Living Bakersfield

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!

Brookdale was the perfect place for my needs at that time. I had broken my leg and was non weight bearing for 2 months. I had to use a wheelchair for those 2 months and felt right at home. Thank you.
