Eliezer 2021-11-23 Solstice Senior Living at Bakersfield looked good and was well-kept. Their food was good. They had a menu and they're very organized. You pretty much knew what you were going to be eating all day and all week. They give you a handout that would give you the option. If you didn't want to eat what they were having, you get something else. The dining area was big and friendly. The staff was just great and the apartments I saw were pretty much in good shape. I visited this facility

Winston 2021-10-23 I had an in-person tour of Solstice Senior Living at Bakersfield. I liked it. It was clean, nice, beautiful, and kind of within range monetary-style. Whoever was in charge went into detail and showed me around. I have no complaints with the staff. They were friendly. The only thing I was kicking back is that for someone to live there, you have to buy your own furniture. I thought everything would be furnished -- tables, TV, linens, towels -- that was a surprise to me. They have some sort of sports, backgammon, laundry facilities if needed, and a nurse on call. They have three meals a day plus extra. I visited this facility

Debra 2021-09-18 We toured Solstice Senior Living at Bakersfield and it was very nice. However, it was far away from the community my mother-in-law used to be in, and it wasn't as near to where my husband and I live. They took us to some of the rooms and they looked very nice. It was just not our preferred location, but it was a good neighbor. We saw two people while we were there, and they were both very friendly. The place seemed very clean and very nice. If it had been closer to her area, she may well pick that one. I visited this facility

Josue 2021-08-14 Solstice Senior Living at Bakersfield was fine. They're great, very friendly, welcoming, and have several options. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. They had a library. The food was OK; it didn't look great. I visited this facility

CJ 2020-11-17 Very impressed with the care my parents get at Solstice. Before Covid - they had so many fun things to do and entertainment at least once a month , sometimes twice a month. During Covid, they are doing their very best to keep everyone safe, doing games by speaker and trying their best!! Delivering meals to the rooms and encouraging residents to exercise. Thank you staff and workers I would love to name people but don't want to miss anyone!! Sincerely, a happy daughter, CJ I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Phyllis Adams 2020-11-17 Wonderful staff only complaint is the food. Writing this for My Mother, doesn’t realize food isn’t going to be like what she used to cook and That it has to appeal to all different tastes. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

GH 2020-07-15 Solstice Senior Living at Bakersfield is a beautiful place, but we had to find more of an assisted living place for my mother. The people were very compassionate. They came by and knocked on her door, and they tried their best to accommodate her needs. The food was good. Even the chef came in to ask her how the food was. Everyone was really great. We chose that place because of the area and the beautiful surroundings; it was nice inside and out. If your loved one needs more care, you have to purchase that outside of the facility. It's very independent. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Michelle 2020-01-01 We have chosen Solstice Senior Living at Bakersfield for my parents. The price was reasonable for all the amenities. The place was very clean, and the people were really nice and very welcoming. It has everything that my parents need at this time. The rooms have been updated and have new carpets. They have nice flooring and a lot of closet space. My parents will be moving in in January. I would live there if I could live there. They have a chef and a nutritionist. Food is very balanced and you have a lot of choices. They bake their own bread and they make their own dessert. It is really nice; it is really good. They have all kinds of stuff. They have a game room; they have activities all day long. When we were there, they were having a fireside chat with eggnog. They have happy hours, they have a chapel, and they have three or four services every week for different religions. They have a lot going on. I visited this facility

M.R. 2019-06-06 We visited the solstice Senior Living at Bakersfield. I liked it and I think I would go there before others. The staff was fine. The food was very good and filling, and the dining area was good. It was like a restaurant where the service was good, had a good selection, and it was more than I expected. The rooms were OK, nice, and when someone moves out, they made it new again. They showed me one model; one room was smaller, and I would choose a bigger one if I will go there. You can go outside and walk around. Its located close to where I live, and I love this area. You can tell they work hard to keep them upkeep. Everything looks almost new, the furniture doesnt look worn, and its really clean, quiet, and smells like a new facility. I visited this facility

Carol 2019-05-29 I went to Solstice Senior Living. It was small, and the rooms were small, but it was even more expensive than the other places I looked at. It was beautiful, but my mom didn't like how the men were dressed in suits. It made her very uncomfortable. It was too formal for her on a day-to-day basis. The staff was awesome. I visited this facility

CL 2018-11-27 My father-in-law has been living in Solstice Senior Living at Bakersfield. It's very nice, clean, maintained, and the people were really friendly. My father-in-law has a studio. They have three meals a day, laundry facilities, and events that they plan on a regular basis. They also provide transportation to shopping and housekeeping service for no extra charge.

Nellie Ann 2018-04-06 I moved into Solstice Senior Living, and my experience has been very good. I liked the area, and it's not too far from where I live. They have Mexican Train, and a Bridge group. My apartment is very nice, but very small, and so it's an adjustment to make. The facility is beautiful, and the meals are nice. The staff is fine. I am/was a resident of this facility

Diane 2018-03-09 Solstice Senior Living at Bakersfield was very well-maintained. The staff seemed very friendly. The facilities looked very well taken care of and it seemed like everybody was happy there. They have lots of activities too. They have Bingo, chair aerobics, and puzzles. It's in a very nice area of town. The rates are competitive. The food is very bland. It wouldn't be something that I would like, but maybe some seniors would. It's a little bit better kept up and the neighborhood was better than the other place I saw. I visited this facility

Deborah513048 2016-11-17 It was very nice, clean, and bright. They had nice landscaping, and it was very comfortable. The person who assisted me was very nice and helped as best she could. They had card games going on, and they have a library. The dining area looks very good. They will have a day for trick or treating where the kids could come in and show people their costumes; I was welcomed to come and I could bring someone with me, so that was nice. They also have a beauty shop. I visited this facility

Albert577687 2016-09-30 It was very nice. The people were nice. The food was good. Everything was clean. I like the 2-bedrooms; they had fixed it really nice. They had all the activities there. They had pools and exercise rooms. There were no complaints. I visited this facility

Jerry49 2015-06-29 Everything was good -- the staff, the dining room, facilities, and the activities. The rooms were really nice and certainly fit the bill. Their assistance was good. It's clean and fairly well laid out. Carriage House Estates was on a flat area, so it would be safer for my mother to walk around with her walker. They did have a nice walking area on one side of it. They seemed to be very caring. I visited this facility

Tara2 2015-06-18 My dad is here. It is awesome. The apartments are very nice. Everything is kept clean. It is just a nice place. The staff members will go out of their way to help the residents. They have activities like playing cards and bowling. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Pat101406150 2015-01-21 It is very nice. I have a friend who lives there in the assisted living. Her room is very nice. She has a studio which is quite large. The staff is very nice. The food is really good, and they have all kinds of activities from bingo to education classes. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident
