My husband was at Kern Medical. It was a 15 min drive to facility, close to Target, when I needed to get to items. The staff, especially Sheila,were friendly. Room was clean. They cleaned every other day. Breakfast consisted of bagels and cream cheese, fruit, hard boiled eggs, cereal, coffe/tea, apple and orange juice. Would have like hot breakfast option.
