Heritage Assisted Living is a small assisted living and memory care provider located in Bakersfield, California, and is linked to Heritage Living, which also offers services in Knoxville, Tennessee and Flagstaff, Arizona. The community sits near Mercy Southwest Hospital and Kern Endocrine Center, making hospital visits easier, with neighborhood spots like cafes and churches nearby for getting out and staying connected. The building feels more like a regular home than a facility, with private and shared rooms in houses holding ten or fewer residents, so you'll notice it's quieter and more personal than big places, with seven caregivers looking after everyone. Staff stay around the clock, helping with medication, bathing, dressing, moving around, and other daily jobs, while making sure folks stay safe and feel comfortable.
Residents can find memory care, skilled nursing, assisted living, respite care, and adult day services under the same provider, and the focus is really on matching care to what each person needs, so people can stay longer as needs change. Diabetic care's available for those who can manage their own care, and staff help with things like blood sugar checks and medication reminders. They'll provide Kosher and vegetarian food with set meal schedules, special diets for allergies or diabetes, and there's a dining room where meals get cooked and served fresh. Folks can enjoy indoor and outdoor common spaces, like a garden, walking paths, and a spot for relaxing or visiting, and activities are planned every day, including movie nights, community events, and outings, with activities specially designed for people with Alzheimer's or dementia. Family's encouraged to visit, and there's transportation for errands or appointments. The rooms are furnished, there's regular housekeeping and laundry, and a beauty shop's on-site for trims or touch-ups.
Emergency alert systems give some peace of mind, along with wheelchair access and special showers for folks needing help getting around. The home makes an effort to feel warm and inviting, with more one-on-one time, along with board and care home options for seniors looking for a quiet place with a homey touch. Monthly prices start around $5,000 for a studio or $4,000 for a shared room, which is competitive for the area, and the community says it's welcoming new residents. Though there's not much public information on all the details or terms, Heritage Assisted Living stays licensed (state license 157206724), keeps things simple, and does its best so residents can keep their independence and feel like they belong.
