I've found Solstice to be warm and welcoming community. The staff are friendly, supportive and always offer a smile. The campus is well-kept, with beautiful grounds that make daily walks enjoyable. My apartment is spacious, cozy and truly feels like home. What I appreciate the most is balance, there are plenty of activities, social opportunities, and services available, but nothing feels mandatory. I feel comfortable, safe and independent, while also knowing support is always nearby. Moving to Solstice has made this stage of life a comfortable and positive transition.

I liked the fact that Solstice Senior Living at Fairport was smaller. They had the activities that I would be interested in. My biggest drawback there was that it's too far from my home. I still want to be involved in my own community. They have arts and crafts, exercises, and movies. They don't have stoves in their apartments, but they have a community kitchen, and you could use the stove or bake if you wanted. They had a lot of stuff. The staff was great. It's a little older facility. They have a beautician there. They have a podiatrist who comes in every six weeks or so. They have an emergency call button where the ambulance would come in.

I was able to visit Solstice Senior Living at Fairport, and that place is fantastic. It's spacious and clean, and the staff is very helpful. It doesn't matter if this is the first time they've met you or if they've seen you a hundred times; they're always the same. They are polite, courteous, and helpful. I already made three friends who are residents out there, and I'm not even living there yet. They rated the place just as high as I did, and that has to tell you something. They offer liquid refreshments like coffee, tea, and water. I can understand not offering food, because it was two o'clock in the afternoon, so lunch was already over, and dinner would be too early. The place is beautiful. Many of their apartments have balconies that look out into a courtyard, and it's very peaceful and quiet. All you hear is just a couple of people walking past or talking, so it's just a wonderful place.

The staff at Solstice Senior Living at Fairport was very informative and pleasant. Everybody we met was very welcoming and friendly. Lori was very, very knowledgeable about everything and showed us a number of different apartments that would be available, and then took us out to the back patio and explained all the things they have available there for people. She explained that there's one room off the dining room. It's like a private room where you could meet and get together. We could host a game night there. There are a lot of benefits, and it was well kept, and the price is very reasonable. They were in the middle of their lunch when we were there, but we looked at the menu to see the variety of meals, and it looked great.

There was nothing I disliked about Solstice Senior Living at Fairport. I loved going there. They were friendly and informative. It was clean and organized. You could just see somebody being happy there. I think they had a book room where you could read. I think they had some games to play. The lady told me they had card games going on regularly. So, there were always activities of some sort. I just really enjoyed it.

Solstice Senior Living at Fairport seemed to be a nice place, but it didn't really fit my needs for what I was looking for. The upkeep was fair. It seemed to be clean and homey. The staff who assisted me during the tour seemed to be friendly, but they are sales people that are trying to get people to move in. I didn't get a chance to really visit the dining room, so I really couldn't give a fair assessment of it. They had different activities, not quite as many activities as another place I visited, but they had some activities, such as some card games and word games and things like that that people would participate in. There was what they call a salon. Part of the amenities they talked about was where they have an exercise room in the facility. The things they had in the facility and the location didn't fit my needs. Everybody's needs and tastes are different, and it didn't fit my needs. They could have shown a more full tour of the place, but I understand that these people are very busy. They have a lot of appointments, so they don't have a lot of time to show you every single little thing.

Solstice Senior Living at Fairport looked perfectly fine. The staff and the management were very polite and professional. They had a nice dining room. The food looked good. The facilities were good. The rooms were smaller and the building was older than the other place. However, they were second. The food looked very good.

The price that Solstice Senior Living at Fairport offer was fair, compared to what we were paying at another facility. The community was very nice, very clean, and very friendly. The rooms were also very nice and larger. They got a balcony in them. They have a courtyard and gardens outside. They've got quite a few amenities. They have a nice dining room, a hairdresser, physical therapy, occupational therapy, a game room, and a theater for movie watching.

I visited Solstice Senior Living at Fairport which had been taken over by a different corporation. So they had a different mindset, the prices are lower, and it was much more cheerful than before. They're going out of their way to have activities and work with the residents. They have companions that come in, and they screen them in advance. You need to wear a pendant because they don't have a system in their facility where you can pull a string in their bathroom or bedroom. So you have to wear a pendant that's like $50 a month that you had to pay on top of it. The person who gave us the tour was wonderful and gave a lot of information. When they showed us the room, they showed us a larger end room, but I'd been there before so I know that the rooms were not that large. But they're still a good sized, and the 1-bedroom was a wonderful size. They had a salon, they had a library and a chapel.

The tour I had with Solstice Senior Living at Fairport was amazing. It was an affordable and beautiful environment. It was diverse and very welcoming. The person that I met with was very thorough in explaining all of the amenities and features that were included. I was very impressed with her presentation. I received a packet of all the different amenities that were offered. They had a workout facility upstairs and I was happy with that. Then I saw the chapel and a little library.

We went to Solstice Senior Living at Fairport. We're seriously considering it. They were very good. They had independent living cottages, we didn't taste the food, but it was a very nice arrangement there. They had on-site physical therapists. They had religious activities on site. They're right across the street from the parish we used to go to in Fairport. It was a very nice location, kind of in the woods. I was very pleased with that place. We only talked to the marketing person, but she was great.

Solstice Senior Living at Fairport was very nice. They were actually having a St. Patrick's Day function. Everybody was friendly, from the staff to the people that lived there. We toured two rooms, a one-bedroom and a two-bedroom, and both were very clean and nice. They had physical therapy, occupational therapy, a library, an events room, a game room, and a little gym area. They were very nice and very informative. They're updating the facility now.

The tour at Solstice Senior Living at Fairport was excellent. Lori was a superb, very, very nice lady, and she gives a great, great overview of what they offer. We're very pleased with that. She was very engaged and I appreciate it. She was very thoughtful and took us through all the options we had. She followed up too, after we left there she followed up, so it was very nice. We were not there for the food, but I did see a lot for their menu. It was very neat, the grounds, even though it was a little bit late in the year, looked well-kept. It was just a very nice, quaint, country-looking environment. The rooms looked fabulous. It was perfect in terms of the size of the room and what they had to offer

I toured Solstice Senior Living at Fairport. I was shown a studio, and I toured the place. It was absolutely fabulous. It was clean, and the people were friendly. They didn't have a one bedroom available to show. They provide you with everything. With a fee every month you get all your meals and stuff. You go on trips too. I really love the place. It is just out of my league right now, but I am just really impressed with them. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

I toured Solstice Senior Living at Fairport. I saw some of the rooms and had a meal there. I remembered that the rooms were nice. It was spacious, it was clean, and it was just an uninhabited room at that point. The food was good, but the service was cumbersome for me. I couldn't walk very well, and it was a buffet, so walking, in general, was not easy, much less trying to balance a tray or anything like that. That was kind of a negative for me at that point, but I don't think that every day they have a buffet, it was just that one time. The people seemed very nice and very attentive. The staff, and the residents as well, seemed like a good group of people. The place was a nice area that was in the woods, it had nice gardens, and a little bit distant from everything. I don't think there's anything at walking distance at all.

We went to Solstice Senior Living. The staff was very accommodating, and he showed me through the facility. In fact, I visited several times. It was a good experience. There was a patio on the particular apartment that we toured. The dining area is a regular sit-down dining room. The place is homey.

My Mother currently resides at Solstice and we are very happy with the care and treatment she receives. She also has dementia and and gets easily confused, but the Staff is very patient with her, and help her navigate the facility, provide medication reminders and bring her food if she does not want to leave her room that day. I would recommend this place to family and friends.

Solstice Senior Living at Fairport pretty much had everything and was a nice place. I saw that they had a menu, but they also had certain things that were available so that's good. The gentleman that showed me around was also very good. I was given a form with their activities. The community is located right off a route that I travelled a lot so that's nice. It's also located near a lot of shopping areas and church, it has nice grounds as well. I looked at their schedule and it seemed like they do almost the same thing every Sunday, maybe a little variety would be better. They showed me one room, there's a snack bar but I don't think there's a stove in the room. The staff was very friendly and we had a nice conversation.
