The food was good, the CNAs are competent and courteous, transportation got me to all my appointments, and the office staff was good with explaining things to me. If you're looking for good quality care, I recommend Bella Sera.

I've been to only 3 other homes like this, visiting family friends or family of friends. The place…read moremust be sorely understaffed since call buttons are answered at best in 15 minutes, usually 25. TV had to be provided by family. How easy would it be to have a TV there in each room? Hotels charge 5x less and provide at least a cheap entry level flat screen. I'm actually pleased with the staff. It's a busy place even with a good amount of staff. So I'm not sure why all button issues take too long. It's confusing. I wish the design was better oriented for easy access to outside enjoyment. Like even for bedbound people.

Owner is rude to her employees. She underpays them and does not treat them with respect. She is…read morevery arrogant and unprofessional to her employees and to her clients' families. She does not provide the necessary training or equipment for her employees. No overtime or benefits is paid to employees and operates the facility only to make a profit. I would never, ever recommend this facility to anyone. The city, state, and IRS should investigate her operations.

Stay away from this place!! Our issues started a few months after we brought mom to this facility…read more The owner demanded a $2,000 increase in our monthly rate with no justification, she gave us 72 hours to pay the fee or leave!! There was no change in the level of care provided (mom was admitted at the highest care level offered) and we had a contract in place!! Being a small town with limited options we paid the increase. We had to deal with several issues while mom was there, employees that were caught stealing and were fired only to be hired back later. Another employee was caught drunk on the job and neglected to give the patients their medications! The owner Liza is not a nice person, very argumentative and can become extremely rude and nasty. The straw that broke the camels back and the reason for this review is the phone call we received the day before our mothers burial. We went to clear out moms room (we got a call from Liza letting us know she already had the room booked and we needed to pick up her belongings ASAP even though we paid for the entire month) and we noticed that a hand made quilt was no longer in the room. We asked about the quilt with the staff and was advised they would look for it and get back to us. Fast forward to the day before the burial, Liza calls and begins to argue with us stating that we never brought over the quilt and quickly became her usual nasty self talking over us and calling us liars. The facility is continuosly under staffed, the staff they do have are not qualified, one of the employees currently on staff is eighty (80) years old!!! If you have other options take your loved ones elsewhere!

It was my dad's wish to spend his final days at home surrounded by family. This was able to happen because of Carly and Home Instead. Carly worked closely with hospice to get my dad released from the hospital. Our caregiver Judy was extremely professional, nice, caring and provided the help we needed. We are appreciative of the care my father received and would highly recommend Home Instead based on our experience.

100% recommended. I feel very fortunate to have found Home Instead…read more At the initial assessment, Carly, owner of Home Instead, and I were in complete agreement with the situation and the path forward for Mom. I am very critical about everything and Carly put my mind & soul at ease with such an important issue as home care for Mom. We are starting care immediately without reservation. Home Instead is not the corporate machine that I have reservations about. Important issues to me are they are a local, long-established family business that will provide flexible care for the dynamic situation. The other reviews here on Yelp are consistent with my experience with Carly & Home Instead. I personally have been taking care of Mom's condition for over 3 months now and at peace with the help Home Instead will provide.

Working at Kern Village Assisted Living has been an incredibly rewarding experience…read more As a Med Tech, I've had the opportunity to work alongside a compassionate and highly skilled team that truly cares about the well-being of our residents. The environment is warm, supportive, and professional--exactly what you'd hope for in an assisted living community. Management is approachable and always willing to listen, and there's a genuine team spirit here that makes every day fulfilling. I'm proud to be part of a place that treats both its residents and staff with respect and kindness. If you're looking for a safe, caring place for a loved one--or even a great place to work--Kern Village is a wonderful choice.

All of a sudden Bakersfield had no openings and we had to keep my father in kern village because they gave away his bed again. Do not by any means let this place or its affliates take care of told elderly family.
