Chris 2022-04-02 When I walked into Solstice Senior Living at Columbia, it looked upscale. It's nice. They do a little bit of light housekeeping for you, and they provide your meals. The lady that showed me around was excellent. She's very kind, very polite, and had all the answers to my questions. The facilities were very good. The least priced apartment that she showed me was small, but the carpeting was very, very plush and they were still nice units. The price was just too much for me. I couldn't afford it. I visited this facility

Susan 2022-02-05 We thought that the Solstice Senior Living at Columbia was good. It's right in a medical district where a lot of my friends' physicians are very close to that. It was older and they're about to go through a major renovation and they said they're going to be doing all new carpeting and paint and furniture throughout. So they are going to be doing a lot of updating. The amenities were good, except they did not have indoor swimming as the other place did. The person who gave the tour was very knowledgeable, friendly and willing to help us with everything. It's older and it shows its age, but they are defying that with the renovations. When we were there, they had someone doing live music that they brought in, and we saw their activities. There were all kinds of things, like cooking classes, to keep people busy. I visited this facility

Sherry 2021-10-26 I was not impressed at all with Solstice Senior Living at Columbia. They need to do a lot of updating. Like the rugs in the hallways and so on looked like they need to be replaced. The rooms themselves are roomy, and they do have balconies. Something I liked there was the amount of room for your closet. Their activities are very much like the other facility. I didn't find it a very cheerful place; it seemed very solemn over there. Now people did say hello, I do remember that which was nice as you were walking through. It just didn't feel homey to me. I visited this facility

William 2021-10-23 I went to Solstice Senior Living at Columbia, and I liked the staffing, the location, and the cleanliness of the place. They had buses to transport them back for their doctors appointments, so it felt like you could leave your loved one there and not have to worry. It is just one of those places. The staff was helpful. I talked to the residents, and they loved it there. We sat down and just chatted with them. They told me that it was the only place to be. They felt like they were really cared for, and they have everything they needed. They just seemed to be very well pleased with it. The apartments were roomy. They had a studio, a one-bedroom, and two-bedroom. All of them were nice. The facility was clean, and it's in a very safe neighborhood. You have doctors, and the children's hospital right down the road. You have access to the ambulance and everything for emergencies. I just love the location. It was in a beautiful part of Columbia. I visited this facility

Mary 2021-04-05 We went to Solstice Senior Living. The people there were very nice and they're very helpful with questions, too. The building itself was very nice and very well kept. The apartments were very different, so that was a plus. We only met two staff members and they were very pleasant and very helpful with questions. The facility was very beautiful. It is in a good location because it's close to my mom's doctors, a hospital, and a whole range of other doctors, too. I visited this facility

John 2021-02-23 I moved into Solstice Senior Living at Columbia. I've been here a couple of weeks now. There are things I would like to see better, but by and large, it's a very nice place. Each of the rooms has a balcony of some sort, and there is a lake in the back, it has a very nice duck pond. It's a pleasant-looking place; they have a lot of new people that they're training. Compared to a lot of places around, it's pretty reasonable. The reason I chose it is because it's independent, but I need a little more support system than just being in my apartment. And here, there's a home-health nurse that can help me out do some things, and the staff do some things for me as far as getting the room ready and everything. The apartment I got is a very large 1-bedroom; I get three meals, laundry, and housekeeping. They put new carpet and new paint in the room before I move in, and new blinds. They've treated me pretty well. The food kinda depends on the day, and I was disappointed one day they just served Hamburger Helper, which for the price I was paying, seemed a little bit below par. Some days it's really good, some days it's pretty bad. There's also physical therapy available in the building. I am/was a resident of this facility

Kathleen 2020-08-01 My mom is a resident of Solstice Senior Living. We chose it because it was nearby and the price was right. Also, they offered us a rebate. She has a studio room and receives nursing services. Her room is very nice. I have tasted the food. It is not her style of food, but it is good. The activities have been suspended until the end of month. The living atmosphere is very good. Everything has been good. The staff is really good. The food is also fine. However, because of COVID-19, the food is delivered to their room and they don't have as many options as they would if they were going to the dining room. The place is nice. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Ron 2020-02-11 Solstice Senior Living at Columbia was very nice. It's independent living and I would've taken my mother there, but she wasn't a candidate for independent living at that time. Even though it's a fairly large facility, it had a nice homey feel to it. I saw the menus, how things were being prepared, and how they were taking care of things, and I was incredibly impressed with them. The staff I met was all first-grade. They had in-house activities and a bus takes them to pretty much anything they would like to go to. They had a very nice outside area in the back overlooking a very nice little pond. They even had boating and swimming there. The facilities were great. I visited this facility

Mike 2020-01-08 I chose Solstice Senior Living at Columbia because of the location, it's close to the VA hospital which is where my friend gets all his care. The staff is very friendly and seemed to be very good. His apartment is just a studio but it's nice, roomy, and has everything he needs. There aren't really different levels of care there, but there are different services you can request. So he can request for things like laundry assistance and stuff like that, but he's still able to maintain himself for the most part. The dining area is very nice and the food seems to be very good, we were there for lunch once. They have a movie area or they can play different games like bingo. They have activities there, and they have a lake with a dock outside where they can fish if they like, there are pool tables and an exercise room. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

MT 2019-09-03 I was very impressed with Solstice Senior Living. But as I recall, they only provide 1 meal a day, that's the only negative about them. Their rooms were outstanding and I was also very impressed with those. They had a very nice dining area. I'm a veteran, and it's a little out of my price range so I applied for VA assistance but I didn't receive assistance, so that's one reason why I didn't move in. This community is in a class by itself. I visited this facility

MB 2019-03-30 I'm living at Solstice Senior Living at Columbia. Right now the food could use a lot of improvement. For example, we're supposed to be down there before 8:00 for breakfast, but tjis morning we weren't served until 9:00. I don't know what happened, but a lot of people were discouraged. They also have a lot of people who don't show up on Saturdays, so they fix their food and take it to the rooms before they serve the dining room, and I feel like the dining room should be fed first. There are several activities available like yoga, there's a TV, exercises, bingo, walking, and trips to the mall, so they have a number of things. The staff has been very cordial. There's a chapel, exercise equipment, and a movie theater. I am/was a resident of this facility

John 2018-10-31 I didn't find the food particularly good at Solstice Senior Living at Columbia. I asked what time is lunch and they said they sit down at 12:15 and eat at 12:30. I got there about 12:15 and I was very hungry. It was a good 45 minutes after 12:30 before I got anything to eat. I didn't find the food to be all that good. The two-bedroom apartment was less expensive than most of the one-bedrooms I had seen. It was in its own building that opened onto the sidewalk that ran back and forth. It had another opening from one of the bedrooms that went out into a little alcove with plenty of shade trees. I would have been hooked right there if it hadn't been for the food. I liked the apartment very much. It was very spacious and had two bedrooms and that would have been a plus especially given that it was less expensive than some of the one bedrooms I had seen. I visited this facility

Sue 2017-10-18 The apartments were very nice. We saw some people doing activities. The residents I saw playing dominos seemed content. It was very clean. If my father-in-law had wanted to move, we would've made the move. It had some rundown areas, but otherwise it looked pleasant. I visited this facility

J.T.652026 2017-04-11 If I were to go somewhere, I would go here. It was wonderful and more like a community. It didn’t smell bad. The rooms were spacious, very nice, and comfortable. It was easy to access. I visited this facility

5 5 1

Phyllis844622 2017-03-13 It was pretty good. It was strictly one-bedroom or a two-bedroom apartments. It had a very nice setting and was very close to doctors. It's on a busy street they call "doctor's row." I was concerned about the noise when I need to open my windows. We saw some lovely, affordable apartments with a lovely view of a big pond with a fountain, but there weren't any washers and dryers in the apartments, so you had to go down the hall. I visited this facility

Gene H. 2016-12-28 I visited two or three rooms that they had available. One was a single bedroom with a living room and bedroom and a microwave but no oven in the kitchen. They had exercise rooms and different activities. The staff was very nice. I visited this facility

5 4 1

Anonymous108407550 2015-06-11 I find it very pleasant. They serve three meals a day. They have very nice people. The only drawback for me is that the women outnumber the men and that they are older and a little more disabled. My apartment is elegant. I have two bedrooms, a living room, a dining area, and multiple closets. It is very nice. The food is quite good. I am/was a resident of this facility

LHT 2013-05-31 It is a huge facility. It was in a good location, close to the hospital. They have all the amenities. The staff were wonderful and interactive with residents. I had a meal and the people I was sitting with just feel appreciative of the staff. The food also was fine. However, when I was shown one of the apartments, there was a smell of smoke. I have asthma and this is a major thing to me. I haven't been back there since. I visited this facility

Hi, John. Thank you for your review. Would you mind calling our executive director? We take pride in our Elevate dining program which features daily, chef-prepared meals and menus driven by resident feedback. Our wait time rarely is longer than 15 minutes from sit down time to dining, so we’d would very much like to hear more about your experience in hopes of avoiding future incidents. On the plus side, we’re glad you liked our two-bedroom apartments. Thank you.
