Ann Maries Quality Residential

Ann Maries Quality Residential sits tucked away in a safe and quiet Bakersfield neighborhood at 2301 Scarborough Ln, where caregivers with over 20 years of combined experience help take care of seniors in a small, private group home licensed for up to 10 beds by the California Department of Social Services, and really, when you walk around it, you notice a calm, secure place that's set up for residents with a range of care needs including assisted living, residential care, memory care for folks with Alzheimer's, as well as hospice and respite care for those times when caregivers need a break. The place handles both ambulatory and non-ambulatory residents, so whether someone uses a wheelchair or gets around on their own, the staff is there 24/7 to help with daily needs, bathing, grooming, and medication management, and they don't mind pitching in for meal help either, with three homemade meals a day-plus special diets like kosher, vegetarian, or support for health conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes. They work to keep the environment safe and comfortable with alarmed facilities for those who might wander, along with individual care plans and secure outdoor spaces like a park-like yard and a nice patio for sitting or visits. Residents have access to Wi-Fi, transportation to medical appointments, errands, or religious services, parking, housekeeping, laundry, and help from personal care assistants; no one gets left feeling forgotten, since the staff keeps up with recreational programs, exercise classes, bingo and game nights, singing contests, movie nights, and art and music therapy, along with outdoor relaxation, pet therapy, and even activities like overnight trips and community events. Amenities include lounges, a library, a mini-mart run by residents, a beauty shop and salon with a traveling stylist, a fitness center, kitchenettes, safety and handicap features like wheelchair accessible showers, private baths, sprinkler systems, and washers and dryers. The atmosphere supports well-being, with specific memory care programs and apartments designed to reduce confusion and keep folks secure, and the caregivers focus on each resident's personal routines and needs, whether that means help into and out of the bath or just friendly company. Residents can join devotional activities on-site or head off-site too, and there's always someone around to arrange games or help out with community social nights, arts and crafts, or health and education programs. The facility welcomes pets, accepts long-term care insurance, provides skilled nursing and high acuity care, and can assist with difficult things like incontinence or other advanced needs. Monthly rates for memory care studio apartments usually range from $4,000 to $8,000. Ann Maries Quality Residential aims to support seniors with a wide span of services, plenty of activities, and a sense of home in a smaller, tight-knit setting.
