Bakersfield · Medi-Cal assisted living

Assisted living that accepts Medi-Cal in Bakersfield, California.

41 facilities in Bakersfield appear in the DHCS Assisted Living Waiver dataset, accessed 2026-08-29. The listing does not verify state licensing, staffing or current availability.

The quick answer

How many
41 participating facilities in Bakersfield.
Capacity
Positive capacity figures are reported by the source, not independently verified licensed capacity. Missing or zero source values are marked unverified. Capacity does not describe staffing or availability.
What the list proves
That each facility accepts Assisted Living Waiver payment. Not that a bed is open, and not that it can admit a resident who wanders, which needs separate CDSS approval.
Before you call
You need full-scope Medi-Cal with no share of cost and an assessment at nursing-facility level of care. No facility here can settle either for you.

The 41 facilities in Bakersfield

Every facility below has agreed to accept Assisted Living Waiver payment, which is what “takes Medi-Cal” means for assisted living in California. The list comes from the Department of Health Care Services’ own open dataset, verified 2026-08-29. It is a record of participation, not a ranking, and nothing here is a recommendation.

Read this before you call

  • Participation is not availability. Every facility here has agreed to accept Assisted Living Waiver payment. None of them is promising an open bed. Capacity moves week to week and the only way to know is to ask.
  • Waiver participation is not memory-care approval. A facility that takes the waiver still needs separate CDSS secured-perimeter approval before it can legally admit a resident who wanders. Ask for that record specifically, on the first call.
  • The waiver does not cover room and board. It covers the care services. The resident contributes their income toward rent, so ask each facility what its room-and-board charge actually is.
  • You need an approved waiver slot first. A facility cannot admit you on the waiver until DHCS and a Care Coordination Agency have approved eligibility and a slot is available.
  • Records are from the DHCS open dataset, accessed 2026-08-29. Source identifiers are not verified state license numbers. If a listing is wrong, the authoritative version is the DHCS list itself, linked in the sources below.

How to read this list for Bakersfield

Source-reported capacity is not an independent license check or a count of open beds. Confirm the state license, care services, staffing and current availability directly before making a decision.

Where Bakersfield sits in Kern County

Families searching in Bakersfield usually have more geographic room than they assume, and the waiver does not care which city you land in. The full county-by-county list shows what else is within reach, which matters because a facility with an open bed twenty minutes away beats a waitlist around the corner.

Common questions

4 entries

Which assisted living facilities in Bakersfield accept Medi-Cal?

41 facilities in Bakersfield participate in California's Assisted Living Waiver, which is the only way Medi-Cal pays for assisted living in this state. Each one is listed on this page with its address, phone number and source-reported capacity, taken from the DHCS open dataset and accessed 2026-08-29.

How much does Medi-Cal cover at these Bakersfield facilities?

The waiver pays the care-services portion of the bill. It does not pay room and board, which the resident covers from their own income, usually Social Security. Ask each facility what its monthly room-and-board charge is, because it varies and it is the number that decides affordability.

Do any of these Bakersfield facilities take memory-care residents?

Some will, but waiver participation and memory-care approval are two separate records. A facility needs CDSS secured-perimeter approval before it can legally admit a resident who wanders or exit-seeks. Ask for that specifically on the first call rather than at the tour.

What if nothing in Bakersfield has an opening?

Look at the rest of Kern County first, then at adjacent counties. In the meantime IHSS can pay for care at home, including by a family member, in every California county. If care needs are at nursing-facility level, Medi-Cal skilled nursing is available statewide without this waitlist.
