They never have to worry about any help or anything that is needed for themselves or their loved ones. Everything was fantastic and everything and everyone was very helpful and caring.

Holiday Columbus Estates in Bakersfield, CA
4.4

Everybody here is awesome, when I first moved in the people here did not let me be alone - they would come sit with me in the dining hall and within the first two weeks I already knew the names of a handful of residents. The staff have been so welcoming and are just totally awesome. They always know what you want, what kind of foods you like and aere just overall wonderful people. I never expected anything like this when I moved in. The house keeping is great, they help change my sheets. Even though we do not have a pool we have some darn good nice people

Solstice Senior Living at Bakersfield
3.1

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.
