Solstice at Bakersfield

He has had a good experience at Solstice. The service is good and he has done well there. He likes the food and the dining room hours have been perfect for him. I like the bigger window of time for meals. It's clean and lots of activities. The staff is very helpful and supportive.

Love Solstice Staff!

When my mom had to move out of her home due to her age (89 years old) a year ago, we were thrilled to find Solstice Senior Living. WOW - great staff! [name removed]has been fantastic helping through the transition, finding caregiver options while keeping us relieved and happy with the new lifestyle. The multiple activities provide her with a "cruise like" setting on land. Mom loves her movement classes and dining room! Thanks Solstice!
