Continuing Care Community in Bellingham, Washington

Raeann

I visited Solstice Senior Living at Bellingham, and I liked it. I liked the person who gave the tour, Randi. It seemed really nice. I liked the layout of the rooms and that they all had balconies or patios. I liked the place. I think my mother-in-law would like it, too. It is certainly convenient for her. It was close by things and close to Fairhaven. She is at a point where we could not pick her up and take her places, and she does not drive. There were a lot of residents out there, and they were in the lobby. Everybody seemed nice, there were a lot of people around, and it seemed like a good atmosphere. I did not see any activities going on, but that was probably just the time I was there; I was there just after lunch. They showed me the laundry facilities and a beauty salon. There were a lot of staff around, and they were interacting with the residents. They have people there twenty-four hours a day. The rooms were nice, they were laid out, and they have multiple floor plans. We were looking at a studio and a one-bedroom. There were people hanging out in the lobby. There were no activities, but they were sitting out in the lobby, they were talking, and they had coffee. We went into one room that was move-in ready; they had cleaned it, and it had new paint. It seemed like they were keeping up the rooms well. They had done some remodeling and repainting of some of the rooms. Everything I saw looked nice.
