6 Independent Living Communities in Clovis, California

I liked Solstice Senior Living at Clovis, but it looked rundown. They said they were going to be upgrading the carpets and a number of the other amenities. It didn't look as nice as the other places, but I liked their grounds better. The dining room looked nice, and I liked that there wasn't a forced eating time, so the residents could come and go and choose what they wanted.

I was not happy with Solstice Senior Living at Clovis. It was nice when I visited a couple of years ago, but the upkeep went downhill, and the carpet and the walls were deteriorated. I was not pleased with it at all. The space that I looked at was so small. I couldn't see anything that they were doing except for sitting around. The only activity they offered was an art class that one of the people living there was running. The staff member during the tour wasn't very enthusiastic. They need to redo the whole building, get some activities in there for the people, and the rooms need to be bigger.

Orchard Park is a nice, clean place with wonderful people. The rooms are fine; they have studios and one-bedrooms. They have a place for entertainment and another room for gatherings and games. The activities schedule seems quite full.

I visited Orchard Park. I didn't see as many interactions between workers and residents there compared to the other place I visited, but I had a feeling the people there were OK with where they're at. I didn't see very many staff members, like there wasn't any staff around when they were eating. It could have been that they just weren't around when I was there. This community was OK, but I wasn't impressed. They were in the process of remodeling some of their rooms. It was an older place, but it seemed clean. Remodeling with people living there is very hard, so they have to wait until the person living there has moved out before they can remodel each unit. The rooms were very small, but they're adequate for one person. The environment there is homey. The people are into decorating the outside of their doors, and they allow that. They also have long-time residents there. There were just small things I didn't like. Their garden area wasn't as big as the other community we went to, and I didn't see a pool.

I visited Orchard Park, it was lovely, very nice, and the young lady that showed us around knew her business. I was thoroughly impressed. Everything was lovely. Give the young lady a gold star, because she was really helpful and showed us different rooms.
