Welcome to Candor Consulting
At Candor Consulting, we understand that transitioning from a hospital or independent living to a care facility—whether short-term or long-term—can be overwhelming. We are dedicated to helping you navigate this process with clarity and confidence.
Our role is to ensure you fully understand your options, have an experienced advocate by your side, and gain a clear picture of the services available to you or your loved one. With extensive experience navigating insurance challenges and the wide range of care options, we help you ask the right questions and make informed decisions when considering the best care solution.
We are not in the business of limiting your choices for financial gain. Our mission is to help you identify the best possible care solution—one that truly meets your needs. We’ve guided families of Kern County throughout the years. We do this work because we believe it’s the right thing to do.

“When my father was ready to leave the hospital but not quite ready to be home, the Candor Consulting staff took the time to understand his condition and advocated for him when others wouldn't...he was more than a medical chart to Angelina and she took the time to help get him treated and back home.
