    About Kern Village Assisted Living

    Kern Village Assisted Living sits at 32 Burlando Road in Kernville, California, in a building from 1950 that has 22 units on a single floor and offers a comfortable, home-like micro-community rather than a big, busy institution. Most residents have their own bedrooms or private living spaces, some with kitchenettes, and the rooms come furnished, with cable, phones, and quick access to emergency alert systems installed throughout for safety and peace of mind. The community provides assisted living for seniors who want to stay independent but need a little help with things like bathing, dressing, taking medicine, or getting around, and there's always 24-hour supervision along with a call system for extra security if anything's needed at any time, which makes the place feel safe and secure. Skilled nursing care, rehabilitation, and memory care services, including Alzheimer's Care, are available, and the staff is made up of trained caregivers, med-techs, and care aides who help with daily activities and health needs, so residents don't have to worry about being alone with their care.

    Meals are prepared fresh with quality ingredients in the dining room, and there are choices for plated meals, tray service, or in-room dining, all taking into account special diets and nutrition. There's regular housekeeping, laundry, and help with daily chores, so residents don't have to worry about the details, and those needing more support, like non-ambulatory care, diabetic care, or incontinence care, get personalized attention from the care team. The community is designed for seniors who may need transportation and convenience, offering rides to stores, banks, barbershops, and other essential stops, while also letting residents keep a few small pets under certain rules.

    The environment feels warm and welcoming, filled with friendly neighbors, and there are many ways to stay active and connected, like scheduled daily events, on-site activities, arts and crafts, a movie area for film nights, an art studio, a massage service, common areas for gatherings, walking paths, a garden, a dining room, and devotional events offsite. Some activities are even organized by the residents themselves, so everyone has a chance to join in and make friends or try something new. The focus remains on encouraging independence, companionship, and a good quality of life while keeping things simple, caring, and safe. Rooms are wheelchair accessible, the whole place is designed for easy movement if mobility is an issue, and there's free transportation, plus respite care for those who need a shorter stay.

    Rates range from $2,450 for a shared room to $2,950 for a non-shared room, with all services included, like rent, utilities, cable, meals, laundry, housekeeping, and caregiver help, under a simple all-inclusive pricing structure. Kern Village Assisted Living holds a license from the state of California with License #157209373 and is a participant in the Medi-Cal Assisted Living Waiver program, which helps some residents get financial support for their care. The mission centers on high standards of personalized care and support, and the staff takes pride in showing respect, compassion, and kindness to everyone, making sure daily life is easier and more enjoyable for all who live there.
