Calloway Gardens in Bakersfield, CA, offers assisted-living for residents who want day-to-day help without giving up personal independence. Staff members assist with dressing, bathing, mobility, medication reminders, and ongoing diabetes management. Blood-glucose monitoring, insulin administration, and diet tracking are handled on site so residents with diabetes can avoid outside appointments for routine needs.

The community is secured, with controlled entries and exits, staff on duty around the clock, and an emergency call system in each apartment. Licensed caregivers and nurses monitor residents’ health plans, coordinate with physicians, and arrange transportation for outside medical appointments when needed.

Apartments and suites vary in layout, with select units featuring wheelchair-accessible showers, direct access to an outdoor garden, or proximity to communal outdoor areas. Because floor plans differ, not every accommodation includes every feature, so families should confirm availability when touring.

Meals are prepared in a central kitchen and served three times daily in the dining room, with optional room service during illness or recovery. Menus are planned by a dietary team that offers regular, low-sodium, and diabetes-friendly options. Snacks are available between meals, and staff track nutritional intake for residents who require monitoring.

Residents have use of an activity center where exercise classes, crafts, and group events are scheduled throughout the week. A library and computer lounge provides quiet space for reading, internet access, and video calls with family.
