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.

It has a very large campus, with about 300 residents. The food here was pretty good. They had a trained chef here. They did have some theft here but they called the police and dealt with it right away.

So far so good. I would give them a three and a half or a four. They could be a little cleaner. They are very kind, and gracious. Beth and Alice are very nice. The staff here saves the day!

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 Palms of San Lauren in Bakersfield, CA
4.1
