Pinewood Glen Retirement review

It is a friendly place. My Uncle enjoys living there and has made friends. They serve 3 meals away 7 days a week.

I visited this facility

I visited Pinewood Glen Senior Retirement Community. They'll do the housekeeping, your towels and your sheets, but you do your personal laundry. They have a chef, but I'm on a special diet and their food wouldn't be something that I could eat and it's included in my payment. The place was clean. I visited with a few of the people that live there and they were nice. It was a place that I could possibly go to, but I walk with a cane and a walker. There's a lot of steps walking around and it&a…

I am/was a resident of this facility

I just moved into Pinewood Glen Senior Retirement Community in Bakersfield. I chose the place because it was very affordable and they serve three meals a day.

They allow pets, too. They're just friendly people and I could come and go as I please. The staff who assisted me during my move was very informative. She also filled out all t…

Friendly

They let me know exactly what I needed to place my Uncle. The other tenants seemed happy to be there. The property has the necessities for my Uncle to live comfortably. He has made friends and tells me the foods prepared are good and more than enough.

Pinewood Glen Review

#1 - not great. My loved one hates it. Most tenants tolerate it because it's all they can afford. # 2 NOT clean. Smells of urine and rotten trash in certain parts of the hallway. Trash area always stinks. My loved one has had an ongoing problem with roaches. Had an infestation of bed bugs. House keepers have sub standard cleaning supplies and products. #3. Most tenants are friendly. The new Chef is NOT FRIENDLY and rude to tenants. (I speak for many of them). The new manager is [name removed]. My experience wit…
