Seasoned Elite Assisted Living sits at 13403 Dali Ave in Bakersfield, offering care for up to six residents in a single-story home built in 2017, and the whole place feels more like a big house than a facility, which some folks find comforting, with shared and private rooms that come fully furnished with all the basics, and around here, the staff call the residents "Seasoned Elites." Residents get help with bathing, dressing, eating, toileting, moving around, and daily chores, and there's always a trained caregiver nearby, with services covering medication management, incontinence care, diabetic support, wound care, and help with transfers, and if someone needs a bit more attention, such as two-person or single-person assist, or injection help, the team's able to handle that, too. While the caregivers speak English and focus on personalized service, each person has a care plan made to fit their particular needs and preferences, and folks who need memory care have separate memory care units for more support, with secure entryways, video surveillance, and property safety features looking after everyone's peace of mind.
The community organizes activities like arts and crafts, music, dance, board and card games, and even trips out to movies, restaurants, shopping, and parks, and there's movie nights or community events to keep people busy and social, all while the outdoor gardens and patios give everyone clear spots to relax, sit in the shade, or try their hand at some gardening. The kitchens serve three meals a day and handle pretty much any dietary requirement, so whether somebody's looking for vegan, diabetic, heart-friendly, gluten-free, or sugar-free meals, they'll have something to eat, and the kitchen uses fresh, locally sourced ingredients whenever possible, serving food in a big dining room where folks eat together at scheduled times. There are emergency alert systems, housekeeping, move-in help, and laundry services, and the place itself's wheelchair accessible, so folks with mobility issues can get around fine. Everyone's welcome to join in group activities or enjoy quiet time in the outdoor areas, and the staff work hard to make the environment warm and home-like, always keeping safety, respect, and companionship in mind, with emotional support offered all the time.
Seasoned Elite Assisted Living doesn't take Medicare since it isn't certified by CMS, but it is fully licensed under state rules as a Residential Care Elderly facility, and, depending on the state, some folks might call this sort of home an Adult Foster Home, Personal Care Home, or Assisted Living Home. The official registered for the place is Alison Cooper-Edison, and the care team gets ongoing training to keep up high standards around the clock, aiming to give every one of the "Seasoned Elites" the help they need with dignity and a bit of joy along the way, and when residents need help speaking up, the team can reach out to Long-Term Care Ombudsman services to advocate for their interests.
