I cannot say enough about Divinity Hospice. My mom passed peacefully in her home at almost 96yrs…read moreold. The care and attention that was given to her while under the care of Divinity was not only extremely professional but more importantly filled with love and genuine care. We consider each of the caregivers our forever friends. Arbi, the owner of Divinity, is a very hands on caring owner. He takes on each patient with attention to detail and takes the time to know them and provide caregivers with the skills to meet their individual needs. My mom would light up when they came in and would always work hard to know their names and talk with them. I cannot recommend Divinity Hospice enough. Your loved one will be in good hands and under great care!

It was a fine place years ago until the new exec director came on board. So much drama in staff happened, and an ambitious nurse who finally got her way to director of residential services is part of the coverup. So much turnover in staff, residents moving and dying is a telltale sign, mismanaged drugs and they will blame anyone but themselves and punish your loved ones. They want residents shuffled in their rooms, not engaging despite what they tell you. You have been warned. Dont trust Ivy Park either - corporate greed is an issue there and they dont do anything to help, just take your money. In Addition: They will remove reviews. This new executive director is an absolute vindictive lying monster. Do not believe the fake smiles. There is an ambulance there all the time, people die like crazy - especially in memory care. A PT that goes to all the facilities told me Magnolia has the worst MC. There is nobody around. Dont ever trust the ED or ambitious director of residential services - this used be a good place before this new wicked woman came on board last year.

Trying to find the right assisted living facility for a loved one can be daunting. I can…read moreunequivocally recommend the Hallmark of Bakersfield. My mom, 80, was fiercely independent but three cancer surgeries made it necessary to either get 24/7 in-home health care or move into assisted living. We could not afford caregivers at home, and chose the Hallmark. What a blessing. The staff... care providers, housekeepers, maintenance workers and food services... were very professional and truly cared about my mom's well being. Fourteen months later, her strength and agility had improved to the point that she could return home and live independently. Six years passed, and last summer, my mom started having serious heart problems. After a brief stay in the hospital and physical rehab, she returned home only to slip and fall and break her pelvic bone. That led to more hospitalization and more rehab. She could not do the things at home that she needed to do to be on her own. I began looking at assisted living options based on referrals from a case manager at the rehab center. Wow... the typical charges were $1000-$2000 more per month than the Hallmark's fees. So, I moved her, now 86, back to the Hallmark. Many of the same staff members were still working at the facility. They were sincerely glad to be able to help my mom who was going through a tough time. There is a lot of trite talk from business and sports team owners about how their organizations are like a family. Those are just sound bites. However, the Hallmark staff does take great interest in the residents and treat them like family. I have seen them do this with my mom and countless others. My mom had more heart issues at the end of summer and had to be hospitalized, again. When she finished rehab, she was back at the Hallmark. The care plan had been changed to accommodate her specific needs, and she showed improvement through the holidays. Then, earlier this year, another episode of heart failure, but this time it was accompanied by lung compilations. At the hospital, after she regained some strength, she wanted to go back to the Hallmark. Hospice care was added to her treatment plan. I was hopeful she would find a plateau and maintain an acceptable quality of life for a while. It did not happen, and it became clear her condition was deteriorating. I saw Hallmark staffers at different times leaving her apartment with tears in their eyes. They hovered over her in her last days tending to my mom's every need until she passed. I can honestly say that the Hallmark family brought joy to my mom's life. You can pay a lot more for amenities at other assisted living facilities, but you will not get better care than the care provided at the Hallmark. They are good people.

Some nights I have had to wait over 6 hours for a nurse. During the day you can usually get a nurse within 1-3 hours. The food ranges from good to something that I wouldn't feed my dog all within the same day. Some of the nurses barely speak English. On a scale of 1-10 I would rate this place a 2. Some of the nurses are nice, and some of them get upset if you require anything. As far as Physical Therapy, some days you get it, and some days you don't. You just never know.
