Brighton Manor offers Assisted Living.

Brighton Manor is located at 305 Alum Bay Court in Bakersfield, California.

Reviews of this small Bakersfield assisted living community are sharply divided: some families describe attentive staff, engaging activities, and successful short-term rehab stays, while others report serious concerns about supervision, missing belongings, and medication errors. The community is licensed for only six residents, making it a small, home-like setting rather than a large campus.

Brighton Manor had 22 government inspection visits in the last three years, with 94 citations on file according to CMS Care Compare data. The full history, including what each citation was for and whether it was corrected, is in the inspection section on this page.
