Country Assisted Living sits about three and a half miles outside Golden Hills, California, right at 22371 Banducci Rd in Tehachapi, offering care for up to ten people in a place that feels more like a house with friends than a big building, and folks there seem to know each other pretty well, which is nice because the staff do try to treat you kindly, making sure you're fed, clean, and safe, especially if you're dealing with memory troubles like Alzheimer's or other kinds of dementia, since they've got a secure memory care unit with special alarms and bracelets to keep people from wandering off. You'll find both studio and semi-private room choices, each with private baths and showers that are good for wheelchairs, and people with pets like cats and dogs seem able to bring them along, which can make things feel a bit more normal, and you'll notice a touch of home in the garden, relaxing rooms, and the way residents gather for events like movie nights, crafts, board games, or just relaxing outside when the weather's good, while others like having a book room, hot tub, or steam room to visit. Country Assisted Living does more than basic assisted living, since memory care and board and care services are available, plus help with bathing, dressing, medicine, and getting around, even two-person transfers with mechanical lifts if someone has trouble moving, and the staff can handle diabetic needs like blood sugar checks and insulin, though always with certain limitations, and people needing incontinence care or help with hygiene get reminders and assistance, which takes some worry out of daily routines.
They offer special meal plans, even kosher or vegetarian if that's needed, and try to watch for conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes, and the meals themselves get good reviews, with people saying residents aren't going hungry. Along with long-term stays, you'll find respite care for those needing short-term relief, and there's both complimentary and paid rides for doctor's trips, errands, or services, and events meant to bring people together. The grounds and building are set up to be safe for those who wander, since memory care residents do have extra needs, with alarms and secured property, and the staff watch over everyone all day and night, so that families say they feel at ease after visiting. Residents join in music therapy, pet therapy, fitness routines, outings, and spiritual services, and there's a strong focus on helping each person stay as independent as possible, but the staff do step in as needed, especially with things like medication management, incontinence, and daily activities. People mention the staff are good about treating quirks and making residents feel seen, even those with behavioral symptoms, and there's attention to comfort with private baths, open recreation rooms, social evenings, beauty salon services, and a peaceful spot for gatherings outside.
Country Assisted Living has a community rating of 9.3 out of 10, and reviewers consistently rate it 4.8 out of 5, saying care is solid and folks generally do what they can to help, especially with the challenges that come with age and memory problems, and the license is all in order with California's Department of Social Services, license number 155801217. People interested in the place can schedule a tour to see how staff, residents, and activities all come together, to get a clearer sense of what daily life feels like, since seeing it for yourself makes a difference, especially when you want to be sure somewhere's a good fit for your needs.
