My parents moved to Solstice 2 years ago. My father passed away last year and the staff and residents have supported and embraced my mother as she has found her new normal! The care and concern along with the many opportunities for activity & community have been amazing! I would highly recommend Solstice to anyone looking for a vibrant & caring community.
