Rose Garden Assisted Living sits at 810 S Union Ave in Bakersfield, CA, and offers support with daily living tasks in a place where folks stay active and social, so you get the kind of help you'd want but still keep your independence as much as possible, and that means you can pick between studio, semi-private, and 2-bedroom rooms that come furnished, with both shared and private options, and they've got spots for 41 residents, which keeps things from feeling too crowded but makes sure there's company if you want it, and all the rooms and common areas are wheelchair accessible so it's easier for people with mobility problems to move around. Staff stay on duty all day and night, with emergency and call systems set up, and a trained team ready to help with medication, bathing, dressing, moving in and out of bed, eating, bathroom needs and transfers, even offering one- or two-person help or using mechanical lifts for heavy transfers if needed, and the care levels go from a little support up to total care for those who need around-the-clock help. Folks who need memory care or have Alzheimer's or dementia stay in a brand new, secure area built for their needs, with bracelets and alarms so residents can't wander off and get lost, and the property locks down with alerts if anyone tries to leave or needs help, plus the staff have training to handle major behavioral challenges and aggressive actions, which can be common with advanced memory issues.
Weekly housekeeping, laundry, and linen services are included, so you don't have to worry about chores, and the community has a library, reading room, community arts space, salon and barber shop, bistro, small game room, and gardens with outdoor walking paths for fresh air, or there's a spot if you want to smoke, because that's only allowed in certain outdoor areas. People can bring pets with some guidelines, and meals are handled by a chef who prepares three a day, or you can get food at any time, whether you're dining in the restaurant-style room or prefer meals in your own space, and they respect all sorts of diets-so if you need options for diabetes, allergies, gluten-free, organic, vegan, low salt, or sugar, there's something on the menu, and you can ask for room service too. Staff help new residents move in and settle, and the building offers case management, a dedicated concierge, cable TV and WiFi, and even visiting healthcare pros like nurses, dentists, podiatrists, and several kinds of therapists for things like speech, physical, or occupational challenges, and a doctor stays on call in case something comes up.
The activity schedule is busy with a full-time director planning outings, health and fitness classes, karaoke, movie nights, arts and crafts, gardening, and even community service work, and many activities are run by residents if you want to get involved, and for those who like to get out, there are regular excursions and free or paid rides to appointments or errands, along with devotional services. Staff can help folks who have trouble with bladder or bowel control, as long as they're able to help themselves a bit, and for diabetes, staff can do insulin shots and keep an eye on blood sugar. Residents in memory care are protected from wandering off, and the systems alert staff right away if anyone tries to leave a safe area. The place has hospice and respite care for people who just need a short stay, and they accept long-term private pay, long-term care insurance, and some VA payments, but they don't take Medicare or Medicaid, and there's a community fee, plus extra fees based on the kind of care you need, from mild to high levels.
Rose Garden Assisted Living is licensed by the state of California, license #157202405, and it's set up for adults of any age who have disabilities, with some residents living there following injuries, surgery, or for rehabilitation too, and the nursing team can take care of people with complex health needs, monitoring health and providing medical and therapy services aimed at healing and well-being, and for those who show challenging behaviors or try to wander, the place is built and staffed to keep them as safe as possible. Parking is available for residents, and there are community rooms and quiet spots for relaxing or visiting with others. People can always find activities or time alone, and the model of care means everyone gets an individual plan that matches their needs, so folks can stay as independent as they're able, with the comfort of knowing someone's there when they need help.
