Does Solstice Senior Living at Sun City West work with an agency or registry to provide nursing and medical assistance as needed?
Though the staff of our community does not offer medical or home health assistance; we do have organization with offices and staff right here in our building. All Care Services can help provide residents services from simple medication management to bathing and other needs. Each resident is typically given a custom plan to keep costs down. Many residents sign up with these groups and do not use them daily; rather they sign up just in case they need help when they are not feeling good, etc. Also, we are proud to have a small division of Sante Rehabilitation in our building for those that need help when returning from the hospital and more. They have been able to help many residents recover in the comfort of their home.
Independent living is just that, you live independently enjoying the company of your friends and neighbors while we provide the convenience of restaurant-style dining, housekeeping, laundry, transportation services and much more. We believe you have earned the right to a care-free lifestyle. Let us do the daily chores so you can do the daily fun!
