They Truly seem to Care about your Loved Ones!! They Aren't Sticklers about Visiting Hours, so if you wanna Stay Late (or even Stay Over!), they're Great about it, and even offer to bring g you anything to make you more comfortable! They are Very Attentive to the patients; not yo mention the fact that they are EXTREMELY PATIENT with even the most "Difficult" individuals!! And Johnny, at the Front Desk, is such a HUGE ASSET to this place!! In a world that has become SOOO Impersonal, Apathetic and Riddled in AI; HE shows the Humanity, Personality, Kindness and Professionalism that is LACKING in MOST Places as of late!! Highly Recommend this place!! It is So Refreshing and Reassuring to This Caregiver!! 😁💝

If I could give Kern River TC a 10 I would!! I can’t say enough good things about this facility. Let’s start with Liz in admissions. She went above and beyond her call of duty to get my mom admitted. She makes herself available at all times and cares about the patients. Ariel in admissions was also very helpful in filling out the paperwork needed for admission and explained everything really well. I can’t say enough good things about Angel. She is an Angel and has been the best social worker assigned to us in this latest trial with mom. Sara also was a tremendous help. All of the staff members are nice and helpful. The physical therapy department has all kinds of machines and great therapists. If you think you are coming here to stay in a bed all day like my mom originally thought, you would be wrong. My mom wasn’t walking at all prior to her stay and she is now. My mom has friends who were patients here that all spoke highly of the place. If I were you, I would ignore any of the negative reviews you have read. I just don’t think they are true.

Likely the most efficient run Rehab Facility in Kern County. From moment of arrival through 30 days of care the experience was without equal. What a compliment to the local care industry. Thanks for all you do<br>The Russell’s
