Emmanuels Elderly Care is a small licensed care home for older adults in Bakersfield, California, about 5.4 miles outside the city center, right there in Kern County, and it fits up to 12 residents, so there's more personal attention and it doesn't feel crowded like some places do, and people usually call it a board and care home because it's made from a regular house, but with all the features and licenses needed for senior care, including license number 157208949 from the state. The home provides assisted living, memory care, nursing care, independent living, and even some short-term rehabilitative services such as physical therapy, helping folks who need help every day but want to stay as independent as possible. Staff there help with things like getting dressed, bathing, grooming, eating, and taking medicine, as well as moving from place to place, which helps older adults who can't always do everything for themselves anymore. There's 24-hour supervision, emergency call systems, and specialized support for people with memory problems, including services focused on Alzheimer's and dementia-especially preventing wandering and keeping folks calm when they're confused or anxious, which really matters because safety and comfort come first.
Meals are cooked to order, and they'll do their best if you have a diet like diabetes or allergies, and there are shared dining rooms, community spaces, gardens, and walking paths so it feels like home. Residents can pick a studio room arrangement, and some rooms have private living spaces or kitchenettes if you want a bit more privacy, plus the rooms have telephones and are nicely furnished so you don't have to bring much unless you really want to. Chores like laundry, housekeeping, and shopping are taken care of, which lightens the load for residents, and Emmanuels Elderly Care takes folks out on trips or arranges group activities such as movie nights, creative arts classes, and group meals so there's always something to do. They also arrange transportation and move-in coordination to make the transition simpler, and every resident gets a personalized care plan.
Medical and non-medical supervision are continuous, with short-term 24-hour medical care available, plus monitoring by the California Department of Social Services and other agencies, though they don't take Medicare and don't have caregiver hours publicly listed. The place is run as a partnership between Ms. Miriam Arias and Mr. Angel Zazueta and the business has an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, with additional oversight by local agencies like the Department of Aging and Veteran's Services, but no BBB accreditation reported. With a proprietary community score of 4.8, Emmanuels Elderly Care stays committed to providing safe and supportive senior living for those who need more help, while keeping the environment warm and personal.
