Solstice Senior Living at Guilford

Ellens

The first thing that really made us smile was the way we were greeted when we came to visit. As we met some of the staff, everyone was so friendly and willing to help. Upon moving in and since then, we could tell that the staff really cares and makes an effort to make sure we are comfortable and happy. The apartments have what is needed and are well designed. There is no microwave or dishwasher. However, meals are provided and if necessary, one can purchase a small microwave to warm food. There is a stove if you choose to cook some of your own meals. The food is good. One thing to consider, you don't have to shop for food, cook your meal and wash dishes. Not every meal is 100% but when you consider you didn't have to do anything other than show up for the meals, the meals are satisfying. There is also an alternate menu to choose from so there are plenty of choices. Three meals are provided daily. There are fresh baked muffins daily along with fruit, flavored water and coffee at the self serve station. There are many activities to partake in as well as multiple transportation options to take you to appointments, shopping and events. We are very happy to call Solstice Senior Living at Guilford our home.

Nice apartments with full kitchens. Corridors have an upscale feel.

We looked at Solstice Senior Living at Guilford and it all looked very nice. It's high quality, very clean, and looked like a very nice place to live. The people there needed more assistance than my father. He's 75, and the average age there is towards the 80s. He felt he was a little too young to go there. They did a lot of nice activities, they had a movie night, they have game days and game nights, and reading events. It looks like a nice place for people to socialize. The staff was very friendly. The sales associate or person that we were speaking with was very knowledgeable and friendly, and followed up several times afterward. They wanted to make sure that we had all the information that we needed. And they had a waitlist at least as of November, and you can put a refundable deposit down and secure a place if you'd like.

I went to Solstice Senior Living at Guilford. It's warm, welcoming, airy, friendly, busy, and accommodating. It was a good feeling when you walked in. The woman that accommodated me was very, very helpful. Extremely helpful. Extremely knowledgeable. I saw the library, which I think they're redoing. They had a cafe. The dining room was lovely. I saw a number of people in gathering areas, common areas, which is very nice to see, a lot of activity, people that were there walking about and chatting and getting their mail. It looks like a community versus a facility. I did not try the food, but they gave me cookies when I left, and I did see menus and a sheet of monthly activities. I saw a few of the staff when we were on the tour. They stopped and talked to Kristen who gave me the tour, and they seemed friendly. The housekeeping was nice. She stopped and chatted. They said hello. I saw them interacting with some of the staff.
