If I could give Kern River TC a 10 I would!! I can’t say enough good things about this facility. Let’s start with Liz in admissions. She went above and beyond her call of duty to get my mom admitted. She makes herself available at all times and cares about the patients. Ariel in admissions was also very helpful in filling out the paperwork needed for admission and explained everything really well. We haven’t met one staff member who wasn’t nice and helpful. The physical therapy department has all kinds of machines and great therapists. If you think you are coming here to stay in a bed all day like my mom originally thought, you would be wrong. My mom wasn’t walking at all prior to her stay and she is now. My mom has friends who were patients here that all spoke highly of the place. If I were you, I would ignore any of the negative reviews you have read. I just don’t think they are true.

In 2021 I became ill with Covid. After being in the ICU on a ventilator for 6 weeks I was a quadriplegic. After months of rehab I was able to return home and eventually return to work
