She passed at 97 and still under their care. Then my Husband's Parkinsons disease became to difficult for me to care for him and they told me they would take care of him. It was a blessing. They showed such care and understanding. He was there 5 months and during those months they gave him such great care. The last months were very difficult but they continued caring for him until his passing. They were a blessing and I have nothing but great things to say about them!

The staff is kind and caring and treats the residents with dignity and respect. Each resident is treated like a beloved family member and it shows. My mother's physical and mental health improved in their care and I always feel grateful for the level of service they provided. When my mother went on hospice services, the staff was an integral part of managing her care. The ratio of residents to care givers here cannot be found at the larger, corporate facilities. If I needed to find care for another loved one, they would be my first call.

When caring for a loved one with memory issues at home becomes too challenging, finding a memory…read morecare facility that meets everyone's needs is stressful. In July 2025, I had to make that difficult decision to place my wife in memory care. Ivy Park's Evergreen Memory Care Unit was the family's choice. The staff members at Ivy Park were very knowledgeable, understanding, accommodating, and compassionate. The first step was an evaluation by professional Evergreen caregivers to ensure my wife would thrive at Evergreen. Once it was determined Evergreen was a good fit, Ailee, Lindsey and Pamela made the transition relatively stress free. They were concerned for both my wife's and my emotional and physical wellbeing, and they always made time to talk with me! Once my wife was in Ivy Park's Evergreen Unit, access to visit her was never any issue. The first impression of the facility was that it was very neat and tidy and very clean. Next, the caregivers, staff, and residents all looked happy, and the residents well cared for. The residents all have different needs, and the caregivers are aware of those needs. Food is important, and the food is very good as well! My wife has enjoyed the meals and snacks provided at Evergreen. Mikayla, Memory Car Director, keeps detailed records on the residents, and she knows who the residents are and their needs. Milkayla is extremely efficient. She always has time for you; plus, she will always return a call or email. The Evergreen Unit runs extremely efficiently! Mikayla does a great job being the director! Crystal, Activities Director, is very smart and cleaver selecting activities that engage the both the mind and body of all the residents. Crystal is upbeat and on the move all the time. She is extremely patient and kind to all the residents. Crystal has a true passion for the job. She cares about all the residents. Special events like movie night, Pumpkin Patch, etc are nice for both the resident and family members. These events take time and effort to plan and execute, and they are well done and fun for all! These events are greatly appreciated by both the resident and family members. Kayla, caregiver, has been one of the primary caregivers helping my wife to make the transition into Evergreen. My wife has had some issues making the transition, and Kayla has been exceptionally patient with her during this time. Kayla always remains upbeat, positive, and ready to help. She is unflappable! Adriana, Resident Care Coordinator, is very active in ensuring everything is going well in Evergreen Unit. She keeps a high profile and ensures the residents' needs are being met. Adriana has a very calm demeanor, and the residents respond to her presences in a positive way. Adriana listens to the family members and residents. She is always ready to help. It is a team effort supplying quality care for the residents. Individuals working in the Evergreen Unit are very special people! The bottom line is that staff and caregivers are extremely passionate about their work in caring for the residents! Finally, the residents are respected for who they are!

I love all the different activities they have going on. My complaints are extremely expensive to live there then the CEO wants to ask the residents to pay for the employees bonus and for candy, etc for Easter, Halloween events. I am sorry but for $5100 a month, you pull that money from your bonus instead of asking residents to cover it. The kitchen lady who is manager is absolutely rude and needs to smile. We paid an extra $841 a month for meds to be given to my Nana but most the time her meds would get lost or she would be given them late. Again, $5100 a month that shouldn't be happening. We had to move my Nana out last week because there was a rent increase and we no longer could afford her living there.

I often joined my mother for dinner or holiday meals. Although COVID-19 put a damper on a lot of things, Hallmark usually provides live entertainment, games, and other activities. 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.

This place is terrible. I would give a"0" star if possible…read more We live hours away from my grandfather, so when he was rushed to the hospital for a procedure and then required to go into assisted living before being released to from the hospital, a family member found this place for him. At $2.2k/month we realized jet was not the top of the line when it comes to assisted living, but definitely expected more. The language barrier is the first obstacle, as hardly any of the people who work there speak English. There is also only 1 person working and 4 or more residents. Every time we went to visit there was one poor old man just sitting on a toilet unattended to. I think he was there with all doors open for an hour or longer during one visit. My grandfather was there for two weeks before we were able to go visit. The first thing he told us was he felt that he was having trouble catching his breath. We took him to urgent care that was one block away to find out that he had pneumonia! None of the staff took anytime to listen to his symptoms or to call his emergency contacts to have him tended to sooner. An 85 year old with pneumonia is a scary thing and needs to be tended to promptly!! The urgent care immediately emitted him to the ER! In addition to the above, the food is atrocious! One dinner was McDonalds cheeseburgers!!! My grandfather has high blood pressure!! Nowhere is McDonalds on an approved diet for someone with high blood pressure and cholesterol!! My grandfather is dying now in the hospital from pneumonia and congestive heart failure and we were forced to end his residency rather abruptly from Calloway only to get an aggressive call from the owners informing us that we owe over $2.2k!!! Pound sand!! Send my dying 85 year old to collections, as you'll never get another penny from us!!
