Lovely place

I recently visited Solstice and was so impressed with the facility. It is clean, bright, and welcoming. The residents were interacting in small groups and there were many activities posted. One of my relatives lives there and she is super happy with the place and talked about how much she loves it! If you are looking for a new place to call home, this would be a place to explore!

Elegant, Full Lifestyle

When my duo partner and I entertain at Solstice Senior Living at Guilford, we notice how fully the residents participate and how happy the residents are there, both before the show, and afterwards. The residents have so many kind, caring staff, and there is a wide range of high quality activity choices in which to immerse themselves. The residents themselves reach out and help each other, and the camaraderie is outstanding. The environment is pristine, elegant, well appointed, and provides the kind of home environment every senior dreams about in their retirement. The dining room and the meals provided by an excellent chef, and waitstaff are well thought out and pleasing to each person's taste. Well done!

My Mom LOVES Solstice!

From the tour, through the move in, and this first month of the experience my mother has felt so welcome and so comfortable. After 95 years of working hard with the daily toil of cooking and cleaning and worrying about maintenance issues she is finally “living like a queen” as she deserves. She has enjoyed meeting new people and making friends with staff and other residents. She loves maintaining her cherished independence. She also loves the food! Solstice lives up its name “the end of one season and the beginning of a new exciting season”. At 95 yrs old - who knew?!

Review for Solstice Senior Living at Guilford

Interior access to all events. Ample parking. Emergency response by Guilford Fire and Police is extraordinary. Maid services are reliable. Same for maintenance and transportation. Staff tries hard to please.

[Name removed] explained without selling, food is well balanced and good, move in went smoothly with 7 friends and two professional movers. The front office staff, including [name removed], are very attentive. I recommended one friend who moved in, working on several others. Maintenance staff solved several problems. Friendly and helpful tenants. After a year of looking, Solstice Senior Living at Guilford is just right for us.

Pros and cons

Staff is very friendly, program director is fabulous ... housekeeping which is advertised for weekly of every apt is horrible !!! Better off not having it or hire better company !! They have a few different sizes of one bedroom apartments, very small to large and then 2 bedrooms as well.

A Beautiful Place

Solstice of Guilford is so welcoming! My cousin has been on the waiting list for an apartment and we got the notice of availability and are so excited after we had the tour. The grands are gorgeous as the inside with the fireplace and dining area....and the people, just wonderful.

A wonderful experience

I was very impressed with the physical facility and the staff when we came to tour Solstice. The overall value to the money here is amazing. The apartment is plenty big enough for my parents needs. Every single staff member has been extremely friendly and pleasant to work with. I would recommend Solstice to others and already have.

Check it out first

This community is the most bang for your buck. I was shocked at how much some communities are. It is independent living but they have all the services in case you do need them. This is a beautiful community and a beautiful neighborhood the rooms are very large also. It is a nice size room and a kitchen also and it is half the price as some of the other communities out there. check it first but if you need to see the others you will end up back here.

They are genuine

The value for the money is 10 stars, it is amazing how nice the community is with such little money - it is very reasonable and something our loved one can handle. Everyone there has been so accommodating and nice, our loved one had to leave for a month to recover from a broken hip and when she got back they had a welcome sign and welcomed her with open arms. They constantly check in with our family. She loves it there, her unit is lovely, the view is great and well kept. The location of the community is great. Once she is able to resume the activities it is going to be fantastic. They have so many different things for all their different interests, they have movie nights, outings, speakers, entertainment and so many different board games.

So far average.

The staff are very friendly. And the residents are friendly as well. Transportation sometimes needs to be a little more desirable. They can only take so many people at a time on the bus, and sometimes people just get on the bus to ride and don't even have shopping to do or appointments to go to. And that takes away from those who really need to go. I like my apartment very much. It's a nice size, and bigger than one we had previously at a different place. I think they need better maintenance people, but I know they're trying to hire people and are having problems finding applicants.

Highly recommend

We chose Solstice Senior Living because they felt more like apartments. They are personalized to a degree for the residents that they have. The staff were very friendly and the facility itself is beautiful and does not feel like a nursing home, it was exactly what we were looking for. My mother in law is very happy here and we have had a very good experience. I would recommend to others looking.

My review of Solstice Senior Living at Guilford

Solstice Senior Living has been absolutely wonderful, they have really gone out of their way to meet every single one of the residents needs. They were pretty strict during the pandemic but they have kept the residents safe. Almost 80% have fully been vaccinated. We feel very safe with our parents being there, the director is just one call away. No matter my needs or requests everything has been met. They are truly awesome.

My Review of Solstice Senior Living at Guilford

It was very nice, just a little bit too far out in the woods. The person who took us around was very knowledgeable. I found the units to be very nice here.
