Recent reviews of Independent Living in Onyx, CA
The Pointe at Summit Hills in Bakersfield, CA
4.9 / 5.0

The Pointe at Summit Hills is the perfect fit for my Mom. I was very impressed with every staff member I met during my 2 visits prior to deciding to place my Mom here. From the front desk staff, to the servers, and even the groundskeeper and maintenance guy… they ALL knew the residents names and something about each one of them, and the residents in return knew the staff personally. Mom needed to feel like this was HER HOME, and from day one she was welcomed and comfortable. I couldn’t have asked for better care or atmosphere!

Columbus Estates in Bakersfield, CA
5.0 / 5.0

This was a very nice community. I would recommend the community to others for their loved ones. The staff communication with the family, they are responsive with our questions and requests. There are three meals served a day and the residents have choices to choose from. There is housekeeping included. There is a kitchenette in the apartment. There are villas available that have full kitchens in them.

The Palms of San Lauren in Bakersfield, CA
4.1 / 5.0

The cost is much more reasonable but the care is basically the same. The major difference is that they use an outside service called Senior Doc. A PA or Dr visit instead of my having to take her to her appts. It's made a huge difference. Getting her & her walker in & out of my car is exhausting for both of us. They also take weekly vitals. The only drawback here is that they don't respond to maintenance requests. The drain in her bathroom sink isn't connected so it leaks all over the floor. She has to use the kitchen sink. We've requested they fix it several times.
