Happy with our choice

All the staff was very friendly, and the place was clean and I liked all the walking paths outside. The place looked like it was placed in a park. We had a couple of meals there they were all done very well. I would say the only problem with the meals is the waiting time since they made each meal fresh it did take some time to get around.

The staff seems really friendly.

Really the only issue I see and heard from many of the tenants when I get there. Is the food. They serve some odd stuff sometimes and most of the time the food comes out cold. Place seems very well clean and taken care of. My mom went there being very anti-social. I've noticed she is starting to take care of herself more. Eating more( still has issues with the "weird" food and cold food). But I've seen a major improvement in just one month

Critical

I went to see this building for seniors with home care, and it looks like a nice place. I would like to have one bedroom and kitchen room. I think it is too far from town. Maybe I will call someday.

Solstice feels like home

Our experience with the community has been very positive. We chose Solstice because they served an Indian dinner! We would definitely recommend, as staff has been kind and compassionate. [name removed] and [name removed] have been very attentive and take special care to accommodate our family member, treating him with dignity.

Our Solstice has made considerable changes recently. We now have an efficient, caring staff. They each do their own jobs well, but they are always prepared to fill in somewhere else that they are needed, even to serving meals! There is constant action here for those who crave it, but no one is pressured to take part. We have an outstanding Physical Therapy staff. The grounds are lovely, with beautiful trees, walking paths and a pond crossed by a picturesque bridge. We have an energetic, creative head chef, good foo…
