Solstice Senior Living at Sun City West
I believe everything is very nice except the food. It definitely needs improvement. Great apartment size. I would recommend this community to others who are currently searching. Friendly staff, great place for your puppies plus a doggie park. They also take us to nice restaurants in the van. Plus, there are plenty of activities.

This looks like a very nice place to live. People are very friendly. We had lunch there and the food was very good. The servers are excellent and so nice. The unit we looked at had a beautiful view of the doggie park the swimming pool and the greenhouse for the residents. Very happy with it.

I am very satisfied with Solstice Senior Community. The meals are very good, services available are outstanding, community is very friendly, and conveniently located. After I visited five (5) communities, I choose Solstice because it accommodated all my needs for convenience, accommodations, and overall sense of home and community. After 6 weeks in the community, I am completely satisfied with my decision.

5 on everything! It's an awesome place and the staff is great! Better than we thought it would be! Nice walk-in closet in the bedroom; decent size bedroom that easily accommodates a queen-size bed; small but very functional kitchen; good-sized living room with sliding glass doors that open to a small deck that could accommodate 2 chairs.

The place and staff are wonderful they are caring, kind, loving and helpful. My mom thinks the soups are salty. They do make everything from scratch. When I spoke to them about it. They said they don't add salt. It could be just her. After all she is 94.

My mom moved into Solstice Senior Living in September 2024. She has made some new friends and is really beginning to embrace all that the facility has to offer. Bottom line, if mom is happy, I am happy, and she is happy.

My parents left in [date removed]. Things that they were told would happen did not. Laundry done and sheets washed--no. Beds changed--only put clean sheets on if stripped. Clean apartment weekly--every other week at best. Would not vacuum furniture or dust. Only bathrooms, kitchen and floors were done. Prices raised, services lowered. Dining room was inadequate. Closed periodically for various reasons, staffing, AC not working. Bagged food only provided during those times. Made them stand in line and not get food served. Only served people who weren't mobile. They liked their apartment but hated living there. Were told they would have free covered parking. Had to pay for it. It was bad.

My mom is very happy there! The dining room manager is awesome! She spends time with each resident and makes sure they have what they need for their meal. They have lots of activities that covers a variety of interests for the residents. If you need the maintenance man, he comes up right away to take care of whatever you needed of him. My mom loves her apartment and her life there.

I really enjoy living here. The atmosphere is always cheerful and friendly. The food is so important to me and recently I was taken out for dinner by my family and the ribs we have here are incredible. Put the ones I ordered at the restaurant to shame. The kitchen staff works very hard to provide great meal choices and the serving staff is friendly and helpful. I am so glad I moved in here.

Great place to live. Staff is amazing. I find the meals exceptional. It is so nice to have good choices for each meal and the food is really good. The kitchen staff and the wait staff are so helpful and I don't need to cook!! I really enjoy all the activities available every day and the library is so nice. I just can't say enough about my life here!

I moved here a month ago and have never been happier! The staff is wonderful! I was living in a place that gave me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich that it became a joke trying to find the peanut butter. Here at Solstice, I have 3 hearty meals a day! If I don't like what they are serving, there is an alternate menu to choose from! I can get a hamburger!! every day!!! Moving here has literally been life changing for me!

I am a resident at Solstice, and I love it here! Our dining staff is incredible! Their pot roast tastes just like when my mom made it, and that brings back so many wonderful memories. The staff here really cares about each one of us. I have made so many wonderful friends here. And the activity director always has fun things for us to do.

I have been to many different communities and have never see anything like this kitchen staff! Most Independent Living communities don't do 'specialized meals' in independent living. But Solstice does! I am a 100-year-old resident that is now gluten free. [name removed]& [name removed]go above and beyond to make sure I always have a wonderful meal!

Our mother left Solstice last December to live with my sister in Flagstaff. We thought Solstice was a great place... we as a family were very happy with them and their services. We thought all staff were caring and very attentive.

Meals need work. Usually cold and boring..too many sandwiches. Usually run out of soup..only dessert is ice cream..

Since we offer 3 meals a day and housekeeping, we are a good option for those on fixed incomes. Staff is friendly and easy to talk with. Few problems. We also offer some medical help. Apartment sizes are very good. King-sized bed still leaves room in the bedroom. Some have walk-in closet. Full-sized kitchens. Bathrooms have many grab bars. They do also had 2 bedroom apartments available as welll. I am happy here.
