St Catherines Home Care

Address: 10214 Pinnacle Ridge Ave, Bakersfield, CA 93311, USA

“We highly recommend St. Catherine’s Home Care in Bakersfield, CA. Even with the very best services, there are sometimes family members who have difficulty understanding the progression of dementia and the illnesses associated with advanced aging, so we thought it appropriate to post what we have experienced with St. Catherine’s Home Care over the past 3, almost 4 years. Three and a half years ago our mother’s increasing dementia became too much for us, both working full time, to continue trying to care for her in our home. After a lengthy search, including several long-term elderly care facilities and private 6-bed homes, we settled on St. Catherine’s. The reasons for us were clear: staff was exceptional in their empathy for the residents, the home and residents looked and smelled immaculate, the meals were prepared from scratch every day, they were welcoming to outside visitors at any time and did not prompt us to have our mother medicated to keep her quiet (as had other facilities we had visited previously). Since that time our mother came close to dying of pneumonia, an unfortunate all too often occurrence with those suffering from dementia; however, because of the very careful and patient care by St. Catherine’s staff, she fully recovered and has, without a doubt, remained in excellent physical health because of their continued attentiveness. All this time, St. Catherine’s owner and staff have always been most gracious and welcoming to our family members at all times and, when we visit usually unannounced, the staff both gives us time to privately meet with our mother and gives us full updates as to her condition and needs. Even more telling is, as our mother is now on hospice, the hospice nurses all tell us that St. Catherine’s is an absolute favorite of theirs, saying all the residents are kept in excellent condition and staff do not seek to overmedicate. We absolutely recommend and give our deepest gratitude to all the staff and owner of St. Catherine’s. Their constant attention, caring, and frankly love toward their residents is without doubt the reason our mother remains in such good physical health. We are truly grateful and highly recommend St. Catherine’s Home Care. Greg and Mary Hanel”
