Care
Assisted Living
A living option for seniors or individuals who require assistance with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, or medication management while maintaining a level of independence. Assisted living facilities offer personalized care plans and social activities that promote quality of life for their residents.
Independent Living
Designed to help older adults who want to maintain an active and independent lifestyle, these communities offer services and amenities that cater to residents’ needs, while encouraging a sense of community and freedom from the responsibilities of owning a home.
Memory Care
Memory care communities offer specialized care and support for individuals dealing with memory-related conditions, such as Alzheimer’s or dementia. These facilities are equipped with trained staff and offer engaging activities designed to promote well-being while ensuring a safe living environment.
Life Plan/CCRCs
Also referred to as Life Plan Communities, these communities offer a comprehensive continuum of care for residents. CCRCs offer multiple levels of care, allowing seniors to transition between independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing care as their needs change throughout their aging journey.
Respite Care
Respite care is short-term or temporary care. Respite care can be provided in adult day centers, in private homes via home health agencies and in senior living communities, most often assisted living or skilled nursing facilities.
Skilled Nursing
Skilled nursing and nursing homes are residential facilities that offer medical care and support for individuals that require a higher level of medical attention and assistance. These are staffed by licensed healthcare providers and offer a range of services to ensure the well-being and comfort of residents.

My grandparents lived here. The staff were excellent and when my grandfather had a fall, nurses would come check his bandages even though he was still in an independent living apartment. All of the care provided at that stage of living was excellent. However, they rarely ate the food there and I it was generally unappetizing. When my grandmother moved to Assisted Living in her 90's, the nurse assistants would come in early in the morning to wake her up rather than letting her rest or stay in pajamas if she wanted to. At her age, with severe arthritis, she would only get dressed if she planned to go out of the house. Aside from that, the care was otherwise good. Rosewood isn't the nicest facility in Bakersfield - it's an old building, the food is bad and there is sometimes a smell. BUT it does have caring staff and it offers complete continuity of care that is hard to find (independent living, to assisted living or memory care, to skilled nursing or rehabilitation). 4 stars because at the end of the day, it's more important to know someone will come quickly when a loved one needs help to go to the bathroom and that they will have any level of care needed, than to have a fancy building.

I am so disappointed in their care. My mom fell and broke her hip. She is 74 years old. The hospital said she had to go to a skilled nursing for rehab. They sent her to Rosewood. As soon as she got there, they came into the room and took her vitals, and left the room. They didn't even talk to her. They didn't explain anything and never gave her the call button. I came in 40 minutes later, and she was in tears. I went to try and find someone to help explain what she can expect and want will happen next. They were rude to me. Then, when my mom had to use the restroom, they told her that because she hadn't been evaluated yet, she couldn't get out of bed. That she would have to use a depend. Now know that my mom could walk with a walker and she has all her faculties, how hulamating that is for her. The staff is so rude and uncaring. I would never want anyone going there ( By the way, she was sent there on a Friday so she wouldn't be evaluated until Monday. Why would the hospital transfer her knowing this. Also, they should be able to be evaluated as soon as they get there)

I highly recommend Rosewood. I like having all levels of care in one location and I am provided the opportunity to build a Rosewood "family" with other residents.

Meals and Rooms are great but I thought the personal care was somewhat lacking I've only dealt with assisted living once before with my Grandmother and it was night and day compared to Rosewood. I'm not saying Rosewood is bad, just seems, like everything else, there's no real love real going out of your way to do good things. With grandma the attendants were empathetic and would go out of their way to make grams happy. My mother at Rosewood isn't treated like she's important but maybe that's something available any longer. Like I couldn't get in touch with Mom for 4 days where my brother drove down ( I live five hours away with severely handicapped wife) making visits difficult so of course I feel guilty and worry. When I couldn't get in touch with Mom or Rosewoods' second floor I was concerned but after many calls throughout 3 days my brother went out there. They forgot to write down the message.
