Carrington of Shafter is very caring and very committed to my friend's care. They're also very committed to letting her do as much as possible on her own, and assisting her instead of doing them for her. So, the people are all wonderful. The residents are all very nice and very caring. It's like a little family. They all care about each other. My friend lives in a nice-sized room with an en suite bathroom and a large walk-in closet. She has enough room for her bed, a recliner, a dresser, a TV, and a …

My mom moved into Carrington of Shafter. They have things for them to do. The facility is clean. Everyone is friendly and helpful. My mom has her own room, and they check on her a lot. Her room works really well for her and how it is set up. The staff members are really attentive to her.

I visited this facility

I had an in-person tour of Carrington of Shafter. We were really pleased with the level of compassion and the helpfulness, and they were just very willing to do whatever we were going to need.

It just felt really comfortable. They do provide working with care facilities around the clock. They had activities. We jus…

I toured Carrington of Shafter. Overall, the staff was overwhelmingly welcoming and gave us a lot of information. The home was an older house, but it had a real homey feeling. All the patients' doors were open and you could see that they had their belongings. And there was a community center where the staff was doing puzzles with them, and they were watching TV. It just seemed like everybody there was at home and comfortable. They were 1-bedrooms in appearance, the size of someone's bedroom. You could eit…

Carrington Of Shafter was nice. We have no complaints. My mom's room there was nice and big. It's an older community in terms of the building, but they kept it up really well. It was clean and didn't smell bad. It was a good community. The staff was pretty good, although there were some that I liked better than others. They played bingo, they did crafts, and watched movies together. They provided a lot of activities for the seniors. It's more for people who come out of their rooms during the day…

Carrington of Shafter's food was not so good. The best thing about it was that it's secured and there's a gate. The seniors were protected and could walk on the grounds. The staff was very friendly and caring, but the place was understaffed.
