Review for Solstice at Joliet

The place is very nice and well kept, but the housekeeping for the individual rooms is terrible - they never sweep or mop the floors.

Welcome Home

Everything was seamless at Solstice from securing a room assignment to signing the lease and moving in. The staff is very caring, compassionate, and accommodating. My friend adjusted quite well and is happy to call Solstice home. Best decision she made!

Our family would definitely recommend this facility for anyone (over 55).....

A lot of staff turnover. The facility is safe, the food is very good and they promote an atmosphere of friendly involvement for the tenants through various fun activities. Tenants also have the independence they need also should they want to have that needed privacy. Overall, it's been a great home for my elderly father in law whom lives alone and is unable to care for himself. He has made connections and has become well known throughout the facility. The tenants are truly treated like family by the staff. Our family would definitely recommend this facility for anyone (over 55) whom requires a safe home, with healthy meals included, a weekly cleaning service along with other amenities in which would otherwise be extra should a completely independent housing be chosen. I wish to remain anonymous, thank you!

Friendly and caring staff

I think what I like best is everyone is so kind and smiling and helpful. It's a very calm, beautiful environment. The food is very good. My mom has a beautiful apartment. I'm so pleased with just everything from the maintenance. All the way to [name removed]

Review for Solstice Senior Living at Joliet

To be truthful one it was very close to my house too. It was one of the few independent living places my mother was accepted at. Several others said no, they didn't feel that she would be able to function correctly. I would recommend if, the person is mobility challenged it could be an issue.

All Around Wonderful Experience!

They just remodeled! If my grandma has an issue it's difficult to get an answer or a timely solution. Great variety and there's an option for additional options always available. All meals are onsite are included with her rent. it's a great facility and the updates are modern and beautiful! she also gets her hair cut at the salon onsite. They also have physical and occupational therapy:)

Review for Solstice Senior Living at Joliet

It's been a pretty good experience so far. A few hiccups, but the most important things (timely meds and meals) are going well. Most of her CNA's are good.

Review for Solstice Senior Living at Joliet

I would highly recommend Solstice. On the whole, everyone is friendly and very nice. As with everywhere, there are some who just need to be avoided. There are LOTS OF ACTIVITIES and the staff is very dedicated to making residents happy and fulfilled.

Excellent Experience.

We had a wonderful experience. My mother was treated very well by housekeeping all the way up to administration. She gained a sense of community there. I found myself helping other residents when I could. I recommend Solstice to other families.

Pleased with the experience, definitely recommend.

Staff was very warm and welcoming to my brother on his arrival, in my absence. I was impressed with [name removed]. I also liked that my brother had a balcony in his unit. Unfortunately, it is un -usable, because of air-conditioner. I wish he had a better unit, so he could enjoy the balcony. I think there should be more green walking area, and more physical activity encouraged . Music, Dancing, lite arm exercises.

Nice community comfortable living. Food needs Hugh improvements on quality and preparation

my sister lives there and by talking to her and bases on several residents , my sister and eating there myself. The food is such low quality. It is barely edible and cooked poorly. Overdone and dried starting out with low quality food. My sister and several people eat microwave dinners because it's so un edible. There is no excuse for it. That bases alone, I would not recommend the place. The value for cost - I don't know based on the food it is too high. Very unhealthy diet.

Solstice Review

The reason I rated the overall experience so low is because the facility didn't provide the level of care my mother-in-law needed.

Senior Living

My loved one is currently a resident at Solstice Senior Living at Joliet and everything has been good for her at this facility. The staff is pleasant. The building is clean. They do not provide care, this is an Independent Living facility. The meals are usually very good, with several options available. Purchasing Home Care is available. There is not much communication with the family, as stated, it's an Independent Living facility. I would recommend Solstice Senior Living at Joliet to others.

A Very Nice Place to Be

So far, we're pleased with Solstice. We're still getting used to going from living in our home to living in an apartment. But we're enjoying it. I like how friendly the people are and the sense of community on the whole. I would like to see meals farther apart, but I understand that's probably not feasible. They have lots of activities. And it has been nice overall.
