Sibling of resident/client

5.0 out of 5 stars

Overall would recommend

They are upfront about level of care and the options for Ala Carte. So it's base level assistance which was perfect for my brother. They are super friendly and helpful. My brother could have used a few more pointers about public transportation in the area. Info came from residents rather than staff. I will also say that personally we were focused on different things getting my brother settled so it could have been us not remembering. The Food is good but portions are small for a 61 yr old man. Also times are strict which is understandable, so be prepared to be organized about meal attendance/ communication for take out.

Great place to live :)

The staff are very welcoming. There is always a "Good morning or afternoon", "How are things going?,"Can we help with anything?", "Please let us know if you need anything." The one suggestion I have put out there is to have where the rooms are, for example, Laundry is on the 4th Floor, the Library is on ?? Floor, etc. They have activities but for someone new moving in, they don't know where these rooms are located

Located in an amazing area with lots to do!

Partnering with Solstice has been a wonderful experience. The staff is so welcoming which makes this community feel like home. Not only is the staff great, but the building is well maintained and the units are beautiful. An awesome perk is that the community is right in the heart of Down Town Palatine, right by the train station convenient for loved ones to visit! You'll love it here!

Review for Solstice Senior Living at Palatine

It was the only option for the cost. And now they've raised the rent by [amount removed] a month. I'm terrified they're going to do it again and my mom will be forced out. Without a lease, they can do whatever they want. There is a very large amount of people living there who should be living in assisted living. It's a very sick and very old population overall. The quality of food has gone way down, too. The staff is wonderful, though. I don't know if I'd recommend it. I'm very worried about uncontrolled cost.

Solstice at Palatine review

Very friendly and helpful staff. And Solstice is very economical. It's about half the cost of most assisted living homes. Granted they don't have the in-house assistance that may be needed. But they are very accommodating on bringing outside Medicare purchased help in. Also, the apartments are cleaned once a week and bed linens washed and replaced.

Review for solstice living at palatine

Apartment cleaning needs some more attention to detail. The common area carpet always gets cleaned, but looks dirty. There are some very messy tenants and they need to hold tenants responsible for their mess to help cover the expense. The food quality needs improvement, as well as having more selection. My mom enjoys all of the games. She does not participate in crafts, but she also likes Happy Hour and the off-site activities. They did have a substantial increase at renewal of [fee removed] due to inflation.

Very disappointed and looking for elsewhere

My friends aren't too happy with Solstice Living because they didn't tell them about all the hidden charges that were involved, like a mandatory $[removed] move in fee, and $[removed] mandatory fee for emergency bracelets, movers have to use the stairs instead of the elevator to go up to the higher floors which cost my friends another $[removed] due to having to use the stairs ,parking is terrible for residents due to no assigned spots and all the staff and visitors take up most of the spots . Place is very clean and friendly , Food is ok, lots of activities and laundry

Quality Living at Affordable Cost!

My mom's transformation after we moved her to Solstice Senior Living is astounding. Within days, she went from sad and isolated to cheerful and social. I could sense the positive, welcoming vibe immediately from the staff to the residents. I always imagined that finding a community like this was unaffordable and would cost a fortune. I now realize creating a unique environment like this is about attitude, commitment, purpose, and open communication. Our only regret is that my dad is not around to share Mom's newfound joy and adventure.

Solstice

I’ve been here for 3 years and I really like living here. Residents are really friendly and helpful. Sometimes I need help with my phone and the staff always helps me out. I like the sports club a lot and watch the news and I understand more about the sports from the club. It’s a positive fun group. They do all sports and I enjoy myself coming. I look forward to the activities here.

Best place ever!

From the moment I walked into Solstice I knew this was the right place for my sister. Such a wonderful greeting from the staff at the front desk to the management ... really everyone I met throughout my visit was a positive experience. Absolutely spotless and warm atmosphere. There is something to do for everyone every day! The meals are great and my sister's unit is amazing. She has been at Solstice for a little over a month and has settled in beautifully. She is so happy to call this place her home. When I come to visit she always has a smile on her face and it has brought so many positive changes to her life. Best new life experience ever!

A nice community with room for improvement.

What we like about Solstice Senior Living is mostly an all inclusive plan. Prepared meals and social activities. At the moment we are unsure if we would recommend the community to others. The food quality has been average and sometimes. Not great for my mom. Seems to go through a lot of staffing changes.

Great Community

Thank you to "A Place for Mom" for making this process easier for us.We would recommend it to everyone. They have a lot of activities for everyone and their meals are very good... or as [name removed]says "delicious ". We picked this community, because of the price, option of 3 meals a day, and everybody we met was very friendly.
