I have been to this community many times. There are so many wonderful things I could say, but today I want to focus on the amazing activities they have to offer. The Vibrant Life (Activities) Director has a way of making you feel special and right at home. Her smile and laughter are just the outside window to her huge heart. This is the place to be in El Cajon. Doesn't matter if you are looking for a place to live or a place to work, this is where you belong!

My parents-in-law will be moving into Solstice Senior Living at El Cajon. They provided everything. We like the independent part of it. The staff was very nice, knowledgeable, attentive, and helpful. We talked to several of the people that live there, and they love the food. We met the cook, and the food looked pretty good. We were impressed. They have a gym and a salon. They have tons of activities for the residents. They have a beautiful courtyard area. They also had a little store, which is kind of nice.

My brother is living in a one-bedroom apartment in Solstice Senior Living at El Cajon. They come in and clean it for him. He got a very nice bathroom. The only thing I don't like about it is it's a little on the expensive side, but the food is good and you can have a guest. The guest has to pay, for his/her food, but they can eat dinner with you. All the help is very, very nice. They're really helpful. They also have a courtyard where you can go outside if you like. Plus, each one has a patio so you can sit out there, too. You wear a thing around your neck and if you need anything, you can press it and someone comes up to the room right away.

I really like Solstice Senior Living at El Cajon. I felt that the person in charge is super caring and I loved how they were able to create a broad environment as you age. So, it's independent, but it allowed supportive care as things arose, so you could still be part of that community. The person leading the program was absolutely remarkable. The residents were happy and they were all eating lunch together. The living environment looks good as well, but they probably could have more space for games and other gatherings. I didn't like the lack of facilities for other events other than the dining hall. The staff there was great. It just seemed like a vibrant community that included people who had dementia-like symptoms, rather than isolating them to purgatory. They could still participate with other people in a healthy way. So, my mother-in-law has dementia, but she's totally functional in so many ways. So to put her in this space, because she exhibits fundamental symptoms of people with who she can't have a conversation, is just really discouraging. They even mentioned somebody from memory care came to them and is thriving. I don't like the segregation of levels. It almost seems like it's done to increase costs for the people who don't fit fully in memory care but would struggle in independent care. What Solstice had that I really liked was their in-home extra services that are in the facility, which is what they stressed. If you need help with medication, you could pay for an extra service in that facility.

Solstice Senior Living at El Cajon is friendly, clean, and organized. So far, the staff has been wonderful. I understand the food is very good for the people that live there, but I have not tried it. They have activity days, and they have music time. Every level of the three floors has some sort of games and puzzles. I like the dining area. It looks very social.

Solstice Senior Living at El Cajon looks like it's been recently renovated. It's beautifully done. The landscaping in the courtyard is gorgeous. It's very open, airy, and nicely decorated. It's really a beautiful facility. The rooms were nice and well laid out. They don't have a kitchenette, but they have a refrigerator. There's no hot plate, but that's OK. They have two community kitchens, one on the second floor, and one on the third floor. The bathrooms were quite large. There was a small threshold to get into the shower, but it's less than any of the other facilities. Entryways are nice and wide. It looks like it's fully ADA compliant. All of the rooms have private balconies, which is nice. The staff was very nice and could answer all of my questions. Their menu selection seemed quite nice, and quite diverse. That would be my first choice far and above the others.
