Crystal Care Home, also called Crystal Care Homes I, sits at 5417 Pacer Valley Ct in Bakersfield, California, and has served the area since 2006 as a family-run, state-licensed care home with room for up to 6 residents. The home welcomes seniors who need extra help with daily routines like meals, bathing, and getting dressed, and it gives support to both those who walk on their own and those with mobility concerns, including people who need more hands-on help or even are bedbound, while still making sure people have some independence. Staff is always on hand, offering 24-hour supervision and assistance, and people often mention that the care is truly warm and helpful. The facility handles medication reminders and help, offers special diets for diabetes or high blood pressure, and manages incontinence and higher needs, with support for things like two-person transfers or insulin shots as needed.
Residents can join group activities like music therapy, fitness programs, crafts, movie nights, pet therapy, tabletop games, and social evenings, and there's a focus on keeping people social, whether inside or out in garden areas or on outings. The home may bring in health professionals for care like physical, occupational, or speech therapy, and it can work with doctors, dentists, nurses, and even support hospice stays for end-of-life care or respite visits for short-term needs. For those dealing with Alzheimer's disease or memory problems, the home has crisis counseling, educational classes, support groups, volunteer programs for extra help, and activities geared toward memory care, giving both families and residents some support and relief. Mental health outpatient services, crisis counseling, and workshops are also available, with special attention to people with Alzheimer's and their caregivers.
The environment feels homelike and relaxed, aiming to be safe and nurturing, with features for fall prevention, regular safety checks, and clean, tidy shared and private spaces, including private baths and bathtubs. There's a book room, hot tub, steam room, recreation rooms, beauty salon, health area, barber services, indoor and outdoor spaces for gathering, and private and group meal options, including kosher and vegetarian choices. Staff helps get residents to doctor's visits, errands, or faith service visits, with transportation available at cost, and you'll find parking for those who need it. The home takes a personalized approach for each resident, building a specific care plan based on personal routines, medical needs, and what helps each person thrive. Crystal Care Home is a steady option for adults who need regular help with self-care but don't require the intense medical care of a full nursing home, and it holds its license (#157203374) as a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly, meeting a mid-level of supervision, not full skilled nursing care. The facility's been known to focus on kindness, clear routines, and letting residents grow as they're able, offering both long-term stays and the possibility for short respite care if a break's needed. Meals are prepared for each person's needs, with light housekeeping, laundry, bathing, and grooming help, and there's always a caregiver on-site to help with care or any situation that comes up, so people can have both support and a bit of peace while living there.
