Evergreen Bakersfield Post Acute Care Bakersfield, California 93306

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!

Our mother was admitted to The Rehabilitation Center of Bakersfield 5 years ago this month. We naturally trusted and depended on the doctor and nurses to provide the best care. She was put on a psychotropic drug without our consent. It made her very sleepy during the day when she had therapy. The entire nursing staff was complicit in failing to tell us, even though she would ask, “What are you giving me?” almost nightly for 2 months. WHY!?!

In addition, her blood-thinner was not monitored for over a month with disastrous results. Her rehab came to an abrupt halt, and she went home on Hospice. The Kern County Ombudsman, the California Department of Public Health, and CANHR (California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform) gave us invaluable advice and assistance. They are just a phone call away.

Parkview Julian Convalescent Bakersfield, California 93304

I recently visited several Skilled Nursing Facilities in Bakersfield that would take my mom’s HMO. I stopped looking when I walked into Parkview Julian Convalescent Hospital. Rated 2 stars, it is an older Facility, it does not have a lot of state of the art equipment, but let me tell you what they do have.

I was struck by the wide well-lighted hallways, sprinkled with congregations of residents and staff. Residents that looked at me, smiled and said hello as I passed by. There was no smell of urine as I walked through the hallways; the rooms were clean and the buzzing of the nurse’s call button was quickly attended to.

Everyone could not have been more helpful. Administration was very informative and helpful. The nursing staff, all of them, from the Aids to RNs were great! Medications were administered on time, kind and patient young women that hand-fed my Mom. They were extremely attentive, gentle and considerate when caring for and moving Mom’s painful body.

The one negative comment I have is the laundry crew’s complete and total lack of consideration or concern with SLAMMING the exit door to the laundry facility. This door does not fit into the door frame properly, GET IT FIXED!

Policy is apparently to call 911 and do nothing if resident is dying. Pathetic.

This is a place where the staff let's people die on purpose. This has been documented by NBC: www.nbcbayarea.com/news/national-international/NATL-Nurse-Refuses-to-Perform-CPR-on-Elderly-Patient-194638731.html

This facility is a death sentence for you or your family member. The aloof staff is under trained and could care a less about you. My family member stayed here for a matter of months and had to be admitted to another facility for severe dehydration and consequently on the brink of kidney failure.

Facility is rundown. Staff to patient ratio is very high resulting in poor patient care. Quality of food is poor.

Don't let your family members stay at the Rehabilitation Center of Bakersfield. Anyone who stays there will end up sick and in the hospital. The nurses there are rude and the place is an unsanitary dump. The owner only cares about getting money from the residents. If you care about you family members, do not let them go there!!

My mother was at this place, not too long ago and said she would rather die, then too ever go back to this nursing home. It is all lies. What they tell you. You and your family have the right to go to any nursing home in town.

Please review their state licensing inspection before being placed in this facility. Please contact the State Ombudsman Office in Bakersfield or State Licensing in Bakersfield for accurate documentation. My relative was placed in this facility and it was a very negative experience. The directior of nursing was not cooperative, not professional and had no interest in either the patient or the family. The nursing staff was not well trained and dismissed medical issues which caused serious harm to my relative. Fortunately, we strongly advocated for helped otherwise it could of been the end of the life for my relative. My relative had a treatable infection but the nursing home was not cooperative in gettng needed medical care. Also, no activites except bingo. If you have a cognitively impaired person, do not place in this facility because they are not trained to care for them and have no means of socializing or providing activites/stimulation for these type of patients. The patient's just sit all day long with nothing to do but stare at the four walls in their rooms or take their wheelchairs up and down the hallways.

I would not recommend this facility to anyone.
