Why we like it

Magnolia Place is a 146-bed assisted living community in Bakersfield, the largest city in California's southern Central Valley. Bakersfield generally offers some of the most affordable assisted living pricing in the state.

However, this community's safety record is among the worst we track, and families should investigate thoroughly before considering it.

  • Respite Stays Accepted

    Short-term and respite stays are available, giving families a lower-commitment option to evaluate the community before permanent placement.

  • Memory Care Wing On-Site

    A dedicated memory care unit (16-30 units per US News) allows couples with differing care needs to stay in the same community.

  • Studio Pricing Below California Average

    Studios start at $3,700/month — 11% below California's average of $4,145, though above Kern County's $3,509.

  • Serious safety concerns

    14 serious and 10 minor citations across 37 state inspections, with 16 verified complaints. Read the state's full inspection reports and press on what's been fixed before deciding.

  • Semi-Private Rooms Priced Well Above County Average

    Semi-private rooms are listed at $6,500/month — more than double Kern County's $2,887 average for this room type. Confirm what's included before comparing options.

  • Reported Pest Issues

    Multiple recent reviewers cite roach sightings in resident apartments and slow maintenance response. Ask the administrator about current pest control protocols on your tour.

  • Scale: 146 Beds

    At this size, overnight and weekend staffing ratios matter. Ask specifically about staff counts per shift and how rapid-response situations are handled.
