Solstice Senior Living at Bakersfield offers an independent living framework supplemented by access to medical support designed to promote residents’ day-to-day health. On site, wellness staff can assist with activities of daily living, coordinate or administer medication, and arrange physical, occupational, and speech therapy sessions as needed. These clinical services are available to residents without requiring them to leave the community, which minimizes disruptions and helps maintain consistent treatment plans.
Complementing its medical offerings, the community maintains several safeguards to support resident safety. Every apartment is tied into an emergency call and response system, wellness personnel perform daily room checks, and the property is protected by a networked smoke alarm and sprinkler system. These measures aim to ensure prompt assistance in case of an urgent health or safety concern.
Residences range from studio to larger apartment layouts, and not every unit contains every feature, so prospective tenants should confirm specific details when touring. Available features include wheelchair-accessible showers, in-unit air conditioning, private patios or balconies, cable or satellite television, kitchenettes, Wi-Fi, and handicap-accessible designs. The campus also provides shared spaces such as a library, outdoor courtyards, an outdoor patio, a TV lounge, a billiards lounge, a computer or media center, and resident parking. Pets are welcome in designated areas of the community.
Dining is handled by a professional chef who prepares three daily meals, served restaurant-style in the main dining room, with accommodations for special diets. Residents may reserve a private dining room for family events, and seasonal barbecues or picnics are scheduled when weather permits.
For recreation and lifelong learning, Solstice Senior Living at Bakersfield maintains a fitness center, game room, and movie theater room alongside an arts and crafts studio. Regularly planned on-site and off-site activities include yoga or chair yoga, stretching classes, cooking classes, art classes, trivia games, live music, dance performances, holiday celebrations, happy hours, wine tastings, birthday parties, and community service programs. The events calendar often features educational speakers, live well programs, and day trips to local points of interest to keep residents socially and intellectually active.
