Pictures are not anything what actual rooms look like. When my aunt was admitted post hip surgery…read moreshe went all night without pain medication, without any of her regular BP medications. We asked about putting rails on the bed because we didn't want her to wake up & not be able to hold on to something without falling out of bed. The one who was supposed to watch her at night would not assist my aunt in locating her Rosary that fell. She said she didn't hear it fall & would not help her look. My aunt was trying to see if it fell & kept trying to look on the floor. The entire night my aunt was in pain. All they could say was we have to assess her. The next day they were planning on working in her room. Paint, patch holes etc. when we refused they moved her to another room then did it while another patient was right there. The patient was trying to cover her mouth & nose. I honestly never believed that these places exist. But it does.

Church services of different types are held on the premises. A beauty salon is also on the premises. I greatly appreciated the genuine caring of the staff regarding sensitive & emotional issues.

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.
