Heritage Living, also known as Heritage Assisted Living, sits in Bakersfield, CA, holding a state license number of 157206724 and supports up to six residents, so folks get more one-on-one time and it can feel quieter, more like a house than a big place, with private and shared rooms where residents can decorate with their own furniture and preserve a bit of home. Seven experienced caregivers work round the clock, handling everything from daily help with bathing and dressing, to medication management, blood sugar checks, and even insulin injections if needed, which is good for those needing diabetic care, and folks who need more can't get that in every spot. Residents pick between independent living, assisted living, memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, plus long-term skilled nursing, board and care home, adult day services, respite stays, and hospice care, and they can get help for high, medium, and low care needs, with flexible service and fee options.
There's transportation to appointments, wheelchair accessible showers, and a beauty shop onsite so people can pamper themselves without heading out, and special attention goes to meal choices, with scheduled mealtimes, all-day dining, and plenty of options for kosher, vegetarian, diabetic, and folks with other dietary needs. The kitchen team keeps dishes healthy and flavorful, and for those who like to be busy there's always something going on, from bingo, movie nights, singing competitions, and game nights to exercise classes, walks outside, day trips, overnight trips, and all sorts of parties and group games, while lounges, a library, a garden, a resident-run mini-mart and fountain offer places to gather or relax quietly.
Every resident gets a tailored care plan, whether it's extra help with personal care or guidance with healthcare coordination, and some choose senior home care, with a friendly aide going into the house for non-medical support, companionship, meal preparation, and practical help. Memory care includes peaceful, safe suites and daily routines to help keep residents focused, with staff trained to guide folks through memory changes, help prevent wandering, and encourage safe relationships and socializing. Support extends to housekeeping, laundry, move-in coordination, medication management, transfers, and coordinating with hospitals or doctors when needed.
People can expect simple comforts like emergency alert systems for safety, indoor and outdoor common areas, organized community events, meal preparation services, and help with special diets, and if a family wants to come and visit they'll find Heritage Living encourages it, because they want everyone to feel like they're part of a home, not left out or alone.
