In 2021 I became ill with Covid. After being in the ICU on a ventilator for 6 weeks I was a quadriplegic. After months of rehab I was able to return home and eventually return to work
I have personally been there twice and I could’ve never asked for a better safe clean place from case management to staff wonderful kind patient and understanding they met all my needs above and beyond. I fear going anywhere else thank you, Kern River Transitional Care.
Updated: staff are very nice and working hard. Physical rehab is great. Sadly, like everything else this is a business and businesses exist to make a profit leaving patients waiting long wait times as there are not enough staff. It’s a hard job and these employees need to be appreciated more.
When my wife and I arrived at Kern River, she was unable walk, eat, or even sleep. Thanks to their great PT program, after about 5-8 days we started seeing amazing results! She was able to sleep, eat, and even walk again!! The nursing staff have been very kind, patient, and have made us feel like family. The entire staff are truly second to none. The have been here for us 24/7 and we couldn't be more grateful!
I left four stars because I haven't seen the whole facility, and the other reviews left me scratching my head. That's because so far I'm happy with everything. My mom was having a really hard time with the hospitals. She's a fussy patient with a lot of anxiety. The hospitals left her in her own filth and made her miserable. When she got to Kern River they cleaned her, they feed her whenever she wants, don't withhold comfort medicine and will tend to her in the middle of the night. The other patients I saw were seemingly content, music playing, bingo, lots of light and green to look at with the landscaping outside being satisfactory. Lots of room to wander and a pretty warm and comfortable environment. Church services and ministers personality visiting the rooms. She likes her roommate and they get along well. She's the most comfortable, and clean and happy Ive seen her in 3 weeks. She doesn't feel alone and scared anymore. They've been very tentative to her and I have a huge sense of relief.
