I am probably the happiest person alive. I do not exaggerate. I was having breathing problems. I was listless. I was close to death.
I'm 68 years old. It was discovered that my heart is only 25% efficient. I'm type2 diabetic. My kidneys are shot. I'm now on dialysis.
But I'm happy as can be! Everyone at the rehabilitation hospital showed me dedication and a desire to make me well again.
I was taught how to eat properly. One on one trainers helped me get my strength back. State of the art equipment made working out enjoyable.
I had a private room. Assistance was always I immediate if requested. I consider these professionals my friends. I love all the wonderful people at Bakersfield Rehabilitation Hospital.
I would be remiss if I didn't give a shout out to the Cafeteria staff for accommodating my every request. I was there on Thanksgiving day and was allowed three huge plates of delicious turkey w/trimmings.
I'm now thriving. I'm riding my motorcycle every day. I work my 12 acre property with a renewed zest for life. I can breath again! I am so happy!

My 94 year old Aunt recently spent a significant amount of time here for weakness and then a TIA. I guarantee all of you from extensive experience, that you will not be disappointed with your stay at this facility. The rooms are spacious with a large window, and more importantly, you do not have to share the room with another patient. This is such a positive aspect for healing because you have your own privacy in a more quiet environment with your own television and bathroom. Furthermore, you can close your door or leave it open because you are not sharing the room! All employees are friendly and visibly team players with superior communication among themselves about their patients. All patients and their families are treated with respect which is appreciated because these are difficult times for the family. Unlike most hospitals, they answer your call button within minutes, day or night. Employees collaborate to help the patients improve daily to reach their individual goals. Medical needs are quickly met by contacting the Doctor assigned to each patient. You can’t beat the professional services such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy services in one location, all of which were necessary to improve my Aunt’s condition. Also, respiratory therapists were always available when she needed breathing treatments. This facility will be the cleanest one you’ve experienced. The food was excellent and they can meet specific dietary needs. She received outstanding leg/feet wrapping and wound care; the exact number of times as ordered by the doctor. The receptionists at the front desk were always friendly and happy to see you. They greeted us by our first name. A facility is only as good as its administrative staff and case carriers. Our case carrier, Yesenia, went out of her way to make sure my Aunt’s condition had improved enough before releasing her . She supported our family through many challenging times and always kept me updated. I am forever grateful for the peace of mind I had when my Aunt was under your care. You are by far the best facility for rehabilitation from my many experiences . By the way, they provide you with a comprehensive binder titled, “My Rehabilitation Journey,” which has been such a helpful informational tool.

I was sent to this hospital after I had blood clots in my leg and in my arm. They taught me how to be resilient, and independent. This staff really cares about you getting better. I had the best nursing staff the best therapy staff and I gained friendships I cannot praise this facility and those who work here enough they're all God sent. I'm coming back ... But this time I'll be a staff member ❤️🥰 thank you for taking care of me so well. I'm back on my own. I'm working hard to get back to you all 🎉✨🙏🏾✨
