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…

Likely the most efficient run Rehab Facility in Kern County. From moment of arrival through 30 days of care the experience was without equal. What a compliment to the local care industry. Thanks for all you do The Russell’s

Needs to be investigated by the states worst place ever to put any family members. I beg you guys to not put your loved one here. They are completely unprofessional. Medical malpractice for sure.
