Candice Home Care sits in Bakersfield, California, and offers a small, home-like setting for up to six residents, which means people tend to get more personalized attention than at bigger places and that sense of a quiet, comfortable home is all around, especially when the registered nurse who runs the house is there to make sure everything goes smoothly day after day. The staff focus on compassionate, professional caregiving, so folks get help with bathing, dressing, walking, eating, and taking their medicine, plus staff make sure there's always someone around for support. Residents can pick private or shared bedrooms, and all the rooms come fully furnished, with cable, Wi-Fi, private phones, and enough space for comfort. The dining room serves three home-cooked meals daily, and the kitchen staff can handle special diets for diabetes or other conditions.
Candice Home Care provides different types of care, including assisted living, memory care, respite care, skilled nursing, and in-home help, so residents can get the right support as their needs change, and families have options when they need a break or short-term care. The aides help with all kinds of daily activities, from getting dressed and showered to getting to the doctor or running errands, and they also arrange travel for church or shopping, making sure folks stay connected to their regular lives. Music therapy, animal visits, card games, movies, art programs, and outings give people ways to stay active, and staff make time for visits with a mobile hairdresser and social events in the evenings. There's an outdoor garden and yard, which gives residents a place to sit outside and relax or to visit with friends and family on a nice day.
There's always 24-hour supervision, and medication management is part of the service, so people with memory loss or more complex health needs have someone making sure they stay safe and healthy. The fitness programs, daily activities, and reading room help keep things from getting dull, and for comfort there may be extra touches like a jacuzzi or a small health area, though these can vary. The published monthly rate at Candice Home Care is $3,231, with options for private or semi-private rooms, depending on what someone needs or prefers. The California Department of Social Services licenses the facility, and reviews show families appreciate the quality of care and friendly atmosphere, giving it a rating of 4.0 stars. Candice Home Care does its best to offer seniors a steady, comfortable place to call home, aiming to support not just health, but happiness and daily comfort too.
