Visited my uncle and upon arriving wasn't able to enter parking lot. Unsure so street parking it…read moreis. Gate entry is locked & you can only enter if they buzz or let you in. The front office can view you from where they are. You must call from your mobile phone since the gate button doesn't work. Sign says call, they literally mean by phone. Walk in & it's bustling with people whom reside there & staff. Some residents whom don't even know me literally verbally said they want to go home. My uncle with many others were in a hall having lunch. My uncle hasn't seen me in years & although battling with some dementia. He always knows my voice & once I removed my eyeglass shades he lit up. He even said seeing me made his day. He says he awakes confused & discombobulated unsure of why he's there. The some staff were nice & even helpful when I was looking for my uncle room, before I was told he was in the lunch hall. I inquired what the constant beeping noise was going on from nurse station to nurse station & was informed by some residents it was an alarm & they were lined up outside their rooms and told they couldn't go in their rooms unsure why. Asked two staff members one said the noise is communicating with each station? The other staff member advised it's from when the button is pushed by the residents in their room. That noise consistently going off will make you want to leave. I mean for 2hrs I was there not a bit of peace. Smh I commend good nursing staff. Some spoke to my uncle, he likes the attention. He has always been a ham. Good to see him smiling. Although not sure if he will remember I was there. His memory sadly seems limited & comes & goes on what he remembers. I will say that more attention to some of the residents that can't feed themselves & rely on being fed by staff should get more focus. I watched a women bedbound can barely speak, and was needing to be fed & given her water. She continued to say water please repeatedly and when I turned her direction the nurse whom was sitting beside her was talking to another staff member doing the same for another resident. Please remember to treat the residents as if they were your family or a child. Not neglected or ignored. May need to hire more staff that are qualified & not to overwhelm those that are there. They look as if they can definitely use the help. Even residents try to help them & they're there to be cared for. You pay alot for these places. Pay alot for the day to day care as well for quality it should match. Glad my uncle is in a place where family can visit him more he's close to the majority so they can check in on him & make sure all is well more often than not.

A Quick Review of the Bakersfield VA Clinic: 3.0/5.0 Stars…read moreFirst and foremost, I want to say, I appreciate all of the people who decided to make their specialty of treatment of Veterans and I salute their service to our country. HOWEVER......My experience at the Bakersfield VA Clinic, like many, is a mix of good intentions and frustrating bureaucracy, leaving me with a middle-of-the-road 3.0-star rating. The most significant and persistent problem I've faced revolves around getting the care I need. Many times, after a doctor and I agree on a course of treatment or a referral, their initial positive response is followed by a disheartening, "Normally that gets denied, but if you really want me to put it in, I will." This veiled refusal is a major source of frustration for me. It feels less like I'm a patient getting help and more like I'm an obstacle to be managed. This puts the burden of fighting for my own care squarely on my shoulders. This bureaucratic friction is a sharp contrast to the VA's mission of serving those who served. While I've found some staff to be truly dedicated, and I've heard good things about the mental health services, the underlying issue of systemic denial of care persists. This reluctance to approve specific treatments or make outside referrals not only delays my healing but also erodes the trust I have in the system that's supposed to be supporting me. Until the culture shifts to one of proactive advocacy for me as a patient, rather than a default position of denial, my reviews of the Bakersfield VA Clinic will likely continue to be mixed. Also, each President in every term, says they're gonna make this Department of Veterans Affairs better. Each President made a little progress in doing so, but DONT GET IT TWISTED ...this is not the VA. of old. It is slightly better in some aspects.And extremely better in others.

This was definitely a deterrent for me.
