Overview of Hoffmann Hospice

Hoffmann Hospice delivers assisted living, hospice care, palliative services, and short-term respite care in Bakersfield, California.

A complaint visit is an unannounced on-site visit by California's Community Care Licensing Division to investigate a complaint about the community, filed by a resident, a family member, staff or anyone else. A visit means a complaint was looked into, not that it was proven: the state may find it substantiated, inconclusive or unfounded. Fewer visits is better.
