Answer a few questions to get personalized results
Who are you searching for?

Residential care homes in Kern County may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. Kern County care homes typically take in fewer residents, meaning older adults know each resident in the home and develop strong friendships.

Older-adult care homes vary more than other options for senior living in Kern County, so families can choose from a wide range of prices, amenities, and services. A Place for Mom will work with you to understand the cost of care homes. From there, we’ll help you find the right fit, whether you’re staying on a budget or searching for luxury retirement communities.

We are also serving Assisted Living facilities in surrounding neighborhoods like Mill Creek, Education District and Downtown Bakersfield.
You may also consider nearby communities such as Bakersfield, Tehachapi and Benton Park.

Mulberry Assisted Living in Tehachapi, CA

They go out of their way to make sure that everyone feels like family. My parent has alzheimers and is being well taken care of. It's so early that the adjustment is still in process but I think once the adjustment happens it will be good. They offer alot more social interaction.
