Bakersfield is a city with a population of 520,197 people. There are 10 nursing homes there to choose from.
While its overall score was terrible, the nursing homes in Bakersfield performed respectably in the area of nursing. We gave the city a B- for this category. There are quite a few criteria included in this category. Many of these subcategories are tied to staffing levels. We also wanted to acknowledge the city's decent government inspections in recent years. In fact, we gave them a grade of B- in this category. In the last two categories, this place received a C for its short-term care grade and a grade of D in the area of long-term care. Despite an otherwise respectable profile, a long-term care grade of this caliber may be an issue for some people.
