I was transferred here from Mercy South West and stayed a couple weeks. My issue was that I lost…read morestrength in my right leg kept me from standing up and walking.. However by the time I left there I was almost back to where I was originally. I still have issues climbing steps and standing from low areas... But Thomas from New York(he was my physical therapist) and Josh (my occupational therapist) pushed and encouraged so much that I went from not even being able to stand to being able to get around my house again.. Which is amazing since I live alone. The food? Well they try! Fact is the food is pretty bland and tasteless. I get why, they can't put a lot of spices on the food not Knowing who's allergic to what and there's a lot of elderly people there, and they may not ask like spices... So, I would suggest having someone bring you your own spices if you're gonna be there for awhile.. If that's not an option you can always order through door dash a delicious meal from your favorite place. If that's not an option and you don't mind living in Skittles and Cheetos then their vending machine is also an option... If none of that works for you? Just eat a lot of their chef salads... Those are delicious.

The Third Tradition sober living community in conjunction with the Program Director Marc Smith have…read moremade a change in the lives of my husband and I that I will be eternally grateful for. My husband went to live there when things got out of hand with his addiction and he couldn't get it under control with out-patient treatment alone. It wasn't his choice at first, he wanted to convince me that he could quit at home and that me being a certified drug and alcohol counselor would matter. My experience in the field didn't matter though because my husband needed to be in a structured controlled environment with people who were invested in him differently than a person married to him. Marc and the rest of the community loved on and directed my husband until he embraced recovery. Month after month my husband chose on his own to remain in sober living even after exceeding the initial conditions that had to be met for him to come home. 5 months later he's still there and we are healthier and happier than we've been in 18 years. Each month I watch him grow more into the man I always knew that he could be. I see his self esteem building, patience I never knew he possessed, and the good in him coming out more and more. He's developed meaningful relationships there with the other men in recovery who I imagine will be life long. His roommate is a heck of a guy who we've enjoyed camping and fishing with. If you can't seem to get it together on your own or have a loved one that's putting you at wits end, I highly recommend that you give this place a shot. It sure has done the trick for us.

Third tradition sober living home is amazing. I lived there for 90 days and the experience was…read moregreat. I can't thank Mark Smith enough for how much he has helped me. He really cares and invests his time in everybody that lives there. The houses are clean, there is structure, and accountability. There are house meetings and 12 step meetings on site which is convenient. I was able to keep my job and stay there while working on my recovery. All the people there are great, the staff and the residents alike. I had a roommate there who was really cool. I couldn't go away to regular rehab because I didn't want to lose my job but my marriage was on the rocks. I was able to live at the sober living and go to an outpatient program while I worked on my marriage. Now I am back home with my wife and kids and living a sober life. The houses are clean and it is very affordable. I will be forever grateful for Mark Smith and third tradition sober living. Thanks Mark!

I am trying to be understanding that they are trying to fix the major issues that I've asked them…read moreto work on. My 92yr old father moved into the Memory Care Community. He is a high level operating Senility patient whose brain is still there but a major stroke and several major falls have caused him to lose his focus and new memories. He has sun-downing effects and is a FALL RISK. I asked them the first week he was there to fix the follow: Give him a way to call for help when he needed to transfer from bed to wheelchair to arm chair to bathroom. He knows when he needs to urinate and should not be forced to wear Depends because he can't call for help. He is also stubborn enough, and mentally sun-downing enough to try and stand up and walk to the bathroom or to transfer to his wheelchair by himself. He WILL fall if he tries this. I made THAT very clear. To add a towel bar to his bathroom so that he didn't have to drape his towel over his support grab bar, thus reducing it's level of safety. To provide power extension cords, they did not want me to provide them, as my father has a phone, a electric bed, a cell phone, hearing aids, a internal spinal Stimulator and remote (both with a separate charger cord), an electric armchair, a bedside lamp, and a mini-fridge. All needing to be plugged in and there are only three 2-plug outlets in his room. To hang the curtains I purchased, at his request, as he has light sensitivity and the window shades have to be closed at all times without the curtains. The shades make the room very DARK. During the day he wants to be able to find his glasses, the TV remote, and his phone but can't in the dark. In the 1st two weeks he was there, NONE of these issues were met. I had stressed to them the only reason I was moving him in there was because I could no longer keep him from falling by myself. So, my 92yr old FALL RISK dad needed to urinate and, yelling at the top of his lungs to no effect, he got up and fell forward hitting his face and forehead. He lay on the floor for over 15 minutes before a med tech found him. Since then, after speaking to the Administrator, they have addressed most of these issues. HOWEVER, he should not have to have his door left open so he can Hollar at the top of his lungs for help to the toilet. I'm heading back to Bakersfield this week to see if they can find an alternative to his having to yell or be left to soil his Depends. On another note, the Assisted Living members I pass in the hallways seem to be happy and there seem to be lots of activities for them in Assisted Living. I wish he qualified for Assisted Living I really do. I am native to Bakersfield but have to work on clearing out his out of state house and selling it for him. We will see. If things look better I will update my review.

Recently I needed to move my mother to Bakersfield and looked at all the retirement communities and…read moreBrookdale was the top place out of all the places we visited.
