Our Philosophy

With more than four decades of experience specializing in the needs of older adults, our short-term rehabilitation services are centered on the whole individual. At Rosewood, everything we do is focused on helping you return to your routine as quickly as possible.

We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to live a life filled with enthusiasm, confidence and security. With this in mind, we create personalized recovery plans based on each person’s unique recovery goals—from the emotional to the physical. 

Our History

As a HumanGood senior living community—and the only nonprofit Life Plan Community (also known as continuing care retirement community, or CCRC) in Bakersfield—we’ve been providing short-term post-acute rehabilitation services for more than four decades. 


Similarly, HumanGood’s origins go back 70 years, when American Baptist Homes of the West (ABHOW) was founded with the mission of supporting older adults on the journey of aging well. In 2017, ABHOW merged with senior housing provider be.group as HumanGood. Today, HumanGood is one of the nation's largest nonprofit senior living service and housing providers.
