Residents and their families say:

This community, Solstice Senior Living at Bakersfield, garners positive feedback from residents and visitors alike for its cleanliness, well-maintained facilities, and the overall welcoming and helpful attitude of the staff. The community offers a variety of amenities and activities such as a library/multimedia area, a space for crafts, beauty salons, transportation services, and a diverse range of activities aimed at both independent seniors and those requiring more assistance. The living units are praised for being excellent, with options such as large closets and patios enhancing residents' experience. The dining facilities offer good food with alternative choices available, and the community has taken steps to revamp and update its rooms and common areas, ensuring a modern and comfortable environment for its residents.
Despite the overwhelming positives, a few areas for improvement are noted by some reviewers. The most recurring mention is in regard to the food, which, while generally good, is described by some as bland or not great. Another point of contention for a resident was the HVAC systems in the units being noisy and too close to the bed, affecting comfort. The activities, though diverse, were criticized for not catering sufficiently to independent living residents, with a focus perceived to be more on those in assisted living. Despite these issues, the community's efforts to provide a welcoming, clean, and engaging environment for its residents are evident, making it a desirable option for many looking for senior living accommodations. The staff's responsiveness and the array of services and amenities available, including the emphasis on updating and maintaining the facilities, contribute greatly to the positive perceptions of Solstice Senior Living at Bakersfield.
