Solstice Senior Living at Sun City West

James

My father stayed at Solstice Senior Living at Sun City West for 2 weeks when I was on vacation, and that was wonderful. The staff took care of him very well, his apartment was nice, he liked the meals, they had activities, and they had invited us to some even when he wasn't staying there. We did participate, they had activities around the pool where they had a band, so it seems like they have a very nice choice of activities and a variety of activities. Solstice was independent living, but they did have onsite nurses as well, that's why we were able to live in there. They had transportation if my father needed it, he has a little dementia so they had somebody go get him every morning and bring him to his meals, and that was wonderful. They made sure he participated in things and he got back to his room.

I'm moving into Solstice Senior Living at Sun City West. I love it. It is very friendly. There are activities. I tell my family that it is noisy, and that's what I like. At this place, there is always somebody getting people ready to go listen to music, and there is a bingo game going on, so the place is doing things. They also have washer and dryer without you having to pay for it, and there are plenty of them (one on each floor or wing). The room has a full kitchen. It is small, but it has a full-sized refrigerator, a full-sized stove, a microwave, and a very small kitchen sink. They have lots of cabinets in their kitchens. The apartment that I'm moving into is 600-some feet. The only thing is that I do not have is a walk-in closet. The swimming pool is right down the hall from my apartment; it is a beautiful pool. They also have a koi pond. They have a beautiful garden area, and then on the other side of the building they have a very nice pool area with lots of entertainment outside if you want it. The staff members are very nice and very accommodating. The menu looks great. The place is older, but very well kept. They're also going through some outside remodeling right now.

It is very nice. The staff members are all very helpful and very nice. They have lots of activities. My mom goes to the entertainment. The dining area is very nice and the food is pretty good.

We're satisfied with Solstice Senior Living at Sun City West. There were some plumbing problems the first night my sister went in there, but that has been resolved. They painted her new 1-bedroom apartment, put in new carpet, and everything is nice, fresh and clean. They have variety of rooms. The halls aren't too great since they need to have new carpeting. They have a lot of activities that we were impressed with and my sister has gone to several of those and we're happy about that. The food has been good and everybody has been nice to my sister.

My mother was a resident of Solstice Senior Living at Sun City West. They provide lots of activities, they have a nice dining room, and the people in charge were very nice. However, we had to pay extra for any additional care she needed. They have games, entertainment in the afternoon, movie nights, church services, and a free shuttle, which she really took advantage of. However, she refused to use the call button, so she fell several weeks ago and laid on the floor all night long. We thought we needed more oversight. The building was not in the best shape, and they didn’t keep it up like they used to.

It was very good. Everybody was very nice. In one room, they were playing music for them, and they have concerts and things. The dining area looked nice, clean, and inviting. However, we're Jewish, and there was too much pork on the menu. It was on the menu for three days a week and I don't eat pork. The person that assisted me was very well spoken. The facility was clean, really bright, and very nice. You could get lost in there, though. In some facilities, they have numbers on the rooms you go into. In this place, you could only know by remembering where everything is. You could get lost trying to find a room.
