June 20, 2024Thank you so much for taking the time to share your positive experience at Solstice Senior Living at Bakersfield! Your recommendation and feedback mean a lot to us, have a great day!
They were very friendly and extremely accommodating. The apartment and the staff members were the 2 things that really stuck out to us initially and those were the reasons we chose Solstice over others we looked into. It is also a very clean place.

June 12, 2023Christy, we truly appreciate your kind review of Solstice at Bakersfield. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your experience with our staff and our pleased with our community. Have a wonderful day!
We liked the community. It felt more like a hotel due to not much natural light inside the community. The apartments were small and needed modern touches. The villas and landscaping on the community camps are beautiful.

October 11, 2022Thank you for your review of Solstice at Bakersfield! We appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback. We are so glad your loved one is enjoying our community. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Have a great day!
Overall it is a very nice facility. However, we were told that they have a chef who prepared fantastic meals. I've viewed my loved one's meals and am very disappointed. The elderly need to stay away form so many carbs and need more protein. I wouldn't feed my kids the meals they serve. Other than that, it's very nice. It's clean and aesthetic looking. For holidays, they decorate and make it look nice. And the interactions I've had with the staff have been very friendly.

Our tour experience was just ok. The rooms looked like they needed to be updated. We got to try the food and it was not very good. The biggest turn off for my mom here was that the sales lady who we were working with was being very pushy about making a decision and she did not like that at all.

Please contact our executive director at BakersfieldED@SolsticeSeniorLiving.com or (760) 547-2864 if you would like to discuss further. Thank you.
The rooms are a good size. There are multiple choices to choose from at mealtimes. The place is located in a very nice neighborhood. And the facility and it's surroundings have a lot of trees and green grass. It's a really pleasant, nice atmosphere. We toured several places in the area, and this was definitely the best choice.

our families experience with Solstice Senior Living has been awesome! the food has declined a little, but its not too bad. the best thing about Solstice is that my mom gets to socialize a lot, there's always someone to talk to. they offer a lot of engaging activities and the residents are always out and about outside of their rooms. the staff are also very helpful and awesome as well.

This is a wonderful place to live and the people here do not ever move out and have been here for many many years at this community. They have activities like bean bag baseball, music trivia and a dice rolling game to keep the residents busy.

November 5, 2021Thank you so much for your review of Solstice at Bakersfield, Lorrie. We appreciate you taking the time to leave us feedback. Have a wonderful day!
I have lived here for 7 years. On the whole it's been a good place for me. Food is good. I feel safe here, and I have everything I need. My family doesn't worry because they know I have my needs taken care of.
The staff members are very friendly and they are always willing to help out. The building is nice and our loved ones apartment is really nice. She is well cared for there and we do not have to worry. The only complaint our loved one has would be about the food, and other residents complain about it as well.

March 24, 2021Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We're pleased to hear that you are enjoying living at our community.
This community has a great environment and wonderful staff. The only issues at first we saw some bugs and we also had some problems with the nursing staff that they suggested. The room sizes were nice and they had good food with good variety. I would recommend this community but don't use their suggestion when it comes to nursing help.

December 3, 2020Thank you so much for your four-star review! We are happy to hear that you've enjoyed your time at Solstice at Bakersfield.
They keep all of the residents engaged in activities Even now, during COVID, they do activities over the loud speaker like bingo and exercise. The food is pretty good and they offer a variety. I chose this community because the pricing was more affordable, it was close to her doctor's offices and church, and we knew some residents that already lived there. It really is a nice place to live. The community is very friendly and so are the staff.

February 9, 2021Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Trenience. We appreciate your kind words and are glad that your loved one has had a great experience living at our community!
I went on a tour here and it was nice and seemed clean. The staff was nice and helpful and answered all of my questions. I liked the apartments here they were nice. The dining room was right near the front which I thought was just awkward. It was independant living and mom needs a little help.

October 9, 2017Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave a review for us at Carriage House Estates. We're happy we could meet your expectations and look forward to seeing you again soon! Please don't hesitate to reach out if there's anything additional we can do for you.
I think mom is happy and as independent as she can be at Carriage House Estates. She has already made some friends and enjoys going to the dining room to socialize. They have a good selection and variety of the meals that they serve. Mom has participated in some of the activities that they offer like baseball bing bag and Bingo. She really enjoys going to their beauty shop once a week. The community reminds me of a huge beautiful hotel. She likes her apartment it's the perfect size for her and being on the first floor she has her own private access to her apartment. Sahe also has a small patio area. I'm glad she is finally happy and living in a good area that we all feel comfortable with.
