The staff at Solstice Senior Living at Austin was wonderful, probably the most gracious staff of the places we visited. Their rooms had like a little mini refrigerator and a sink, but no stove top or cooktop, and that kind of turned my mom off. The people were very helpful and very informative. They were delightful people. For my mother's needs, she felt like she wasn't ready to give up a kitchen area. It didn't have to be a full kitchen. She just wanted a mini kitchen, and they didn't have those in any of their rooms. They did in the cottages that were off the facility. You had to walk into the main building, and that wouldn't have worked for her. They had an exercise area with gym equipment. They even had a pool table. They had a recreational area where they did art classes, they had a library, and they had a game room where people played cards and whatnot. Everything was very clean.

I went to see Solstice Senior Living at Austin. The rooms were fine, except some of them were a little odd-shaped and they had air conditioning units on the wall. It was a pleasant place. They had a lot of activities, and they had a large dining room. The person who showed me around was very pleasant and enthusiastic about the facility.

My daughter and I toured Solstice Senior Living at Austin. It was not in the best of condition. It was disappointing. There were rooms where the carpet was torn up. They were redoing furnishings. The place was looking pretty old, and they were trying to do something about it, but it's a mess right now. My daughter saw German cockroaches on the floor; she told me that later. They provide all meals at that place, but the rent was over twice what it was at the other place. I'm on a limited income, Social Security only, and that's one reason I'm having to move out of where I am in Houston. I don't remember if they showed us amenities. They had a game room, a theater, and an arts and crafts room. I'm just not remembering as many things about that place. A very nice young lady took us around to show us a one-bedroom and a two-bedroom. The price difference was so minimal between one- and two-bedroom that I would probably get a two-bedroom, but I don't have any need for that. I didn't see many residents at all. It was Friday afternoon. I saw one lady sitting by a washer and dryer in the hall. I didn't see many people going around with walkers or rolling strollers or much of anybody at all.

I toured Solstice Senior Living at Austin. It was well-kept and a little more open than the other place. It was nice. I would say that would be number 2 of the places we saw. They have a smaller apartment. They have a studio apartment and a one-bedroom. The staff who assisted us was very accommodating, very knowledgeable, and very nice. For amenities, they have a game room if you want to set up tables to play card games, they have a reading room, and they have a television room to watch movies.

Provider Response

I toured the Solstice Senior Living at Austin. I like the staff, the location, and the size of the property. But the location, Austin has a terrible traffic problem. They also don't offer vegetarian food which is what we were looking for. It's a little bit older of a property and the staff didn't spend the whole time with us during the tour. We had a meal experience there, there wasn't enough of the food. They had some activities, and they're located near restaurants and shopping.

My father has moved into Solstice Senior Living at Austin. They're friendly, professional, and caring. It's clean and convenient. They have attractive landscaping. The facility and the grounds are attractive. They do outings, they play pool, they play cards, and they have socials. His room is attractive, clean, modern, and easy to access. It's a safe community.

Solstice Senior Living at Austin had a large inventory of cottages for independent living. They were doing some upgrading work on several cottages. The cottages had not been maintained well, and they were sort of disappointing. They had window air conditioning units. The kitchen areas were poorly designed and had old equipment. It was very unattractive. The staff was very committed to the community, but she just kind of babbled a whole lot. After a while, it was kind of off-putting. The interaction with her was sort of negative. The facility was dated. They had a gate in the back, but they didn't have it closed. The cottages were kind of backed up to a residential area. I felt a little unsafe as I was walking around. There were some activity rooms, and the people were engaged. The geography is a beautiful setting with trees, a little creek, and kind of a green belt feel. People might get in there, hide in bushes, and stuff. Some of the floor plans were not well thought out.

Provider Response

Good morning. Our community will be undergoing a renovation, and we are excited to be making improvements to better serve our residents. We would like to know more about your experiences at our community. Please contact our executive director if you would like to discuss further. Thank you.

I like that Solstice Senior Living at Austin is close to my house. The staff has been working there together for years. It holds about 120 people, I think, and they have different sized apartments and cottages, and it's on 40 acres now. They've got this cute little bridge that walks over a ravine, no water hardly is in it, and then they have cottages that you can rent back there with fireplaces. They get three meals a day and housekeeping once a week. They have activities like happy hour and grocery shopping. They do all this stuff to keep people busy. A lot of people in their 60s, 70s, 80s are there, and even some in their 90s. It's good for my mom; she likes everybody. Lunch is like a group thing; everybody socializes at lunch and after lunch. It's like a community; it's good. We like it there. I help them throw parties, and I helped throw the New Year's Eve and the Christmas party. Everything is reasonable. The prices are good. The facility is not perfect; it's an older building. They have bingo, line dancing, drum circles, painting, card games, movies sometimes, happy hours, and live music. They serve wine and liquor, so the entertainment is really good. There's always something to do. They imported a chef from another facility somewhere, so he's worked for the company for forever. It's worth it. It's free cable, free electricity, and free food, and they take you to places you need to go to, like for appointments or the store or whatever. It's really a good deal.

I visited Solstice Senior Living at Austin. They were very nice, and I have no problem with that. The extra cost is not necessary for me at this point. It's just too much, and it's just not cost effective at this stage of my life. I may be 78, but I'm still very active. They have very nice apartments. It seemed like a good community, but it does not meet my needs at the moment. I'm just not at that stage yet. The staff were very friendly and very professional. The dining area is welcoming. I did not try food. To be honest, that was one of the things I really didn't need. It just seemed like it was maybe a thousand bucks more for something that I wasn't going to use. I looked at one and two-bedroom apartments. They seemed well appropriated. I mean, they had the same amenities as most other apartments. The fact that it was on a larger acreage made a difference. There was one apartment that I really did like, and it had a very good view. It just didn't appear to be worth the extra money that I would have to pay. There's a lot of extra things that come with independent living. For instance, maid service once a week, and meals in the dining room. My schedule is such that meals in the dining room would probably not happen very often. The maid service is nice, but I'm certainly capable of doing it myself too. It's just the extra thousand dollars wasn't worth that. It just wasn’t a good fit for me personally, but it would be very good for someone who needed those services. They did a very good job. It was well-maintained. They had a salon and a pool. I didn't visually see the pool; it was a very cold day. The salon was there, and I was introduced to the person there. I was introduced to the chef in the dining room as well. I would call it a five-star facility based on the needs of the people that were going to be using it. The staff seemed to be very attentive. The facility was in good shape.

My parents are going to be moving into Solstice Senior Living at Austin. I liked the green space, the ease and flexibility of their community model, and they seemed to be very genuine and caring. I've only dealt with the marketing and admin staff. The apartments were a little rundown, but it's also not very expensive, so I think they're fairly priced. Everything seemed quite lovely. It's a very laid-back and relaxed environment.

I am/was a resident of this facility

I'm in Solstice Senior Living in South Austin right now. I almost slipped and fell in the bath and the grab bars are way out of reach, and there was just nothing for me to grab on to. They were tiny and it's hard to grip. What's bugging me the most is their phone service. If you hit certain spots and it doesn't seem to work right, your screen will just drop the call. The internet is so sketchy here; it's off and on. It's not too bad of a place. The people here are friendly. The dining room just lacks a lot. They need some help. They need clean glasses and dishes, which they don't seem to ever have. That's kind of a nasty thing to see dirty glasses on the table like they're waiting to be used. Some things that were promised before I signed the check, aren't happening. That's kind of aggravating, i.e., like the size of the refrigerator, tub versus a shower, that kind of thing. I was told I would get a tub. In the dining area, they don't refill the sugars, the cream, and the salt and pepper. You have to hunt for it every morning. Outside of the dining room, everybody's pretty nice and it seems like they're doing their job, but they are not doing their job in the dining room.

I didn't like Solstice Senior Living at Austin. There was very little diversity in the population. They had entertainment for people who might have been in the 100s, not in the 80s where most people are now. I was not impressed by it. The ambience outside was fine, but the population was all white, which I have nothing against. However, if there's no diversity in the population, what do you expect to live as a minority. The facility had a part where the smell was horrible. It was not a clean smell. I wasn't impressed with the structure of the building. It's very old, and everybody looked sleepy. There was music, but it's the early 19th century and it was not to my liking. The staff was very aggressive, in that if we didn't sign now, we may not have the same prices and that they're going to increase the price of the monthly rent.

Provider Response

We are so sorry to hear that had a negative experience at our community. We would be happy to discuss your particular concerns in more detail. Please contact our Executive Director at your earliest convenience.

Mom loved living here because the place that she lived was almost like a standalone home. She still felt really independent other than the fact that toward the end of her living time there, she got really lonesome and it didn't provide itself. She lived independently and not in the main building. And she needs to be around people more. But she loved it there. They clean her house once a week. The people that live there were expected to take care of themselves and do whatever needs to be done on their own. They had activities but she did not participate a lot in it because she had to walk into the building anytime she wanted like eat a meal. It was a good long couple of blocks to even get in there. She lived in a big 2-bedroom unit. They also had 1-bedroom and studio. They had more to choose from. The residents kind of watch out for each other and kept up with each other.

I visited and I like all the safety facilities that they have, and the people are friendly. Everybody is great. It's safer there than living by myself with my dog. Every single day they have activities for everybody from games to get-togethers to live entertainment. As far as I am concerned, I asked questions and they were answered properly. I met so many friends, and I feel that they are a family now, even if I am not living there yet.

It is independent living, so it’s a good transition for my dad from living in the apartment. They provide 3 meals a day, seven days a week which is the main problem for him. He now has to socialize with people and eat, and that is one of the things that is very good for him. This place is a 3-story building with 24hr on-call staff, and they have security. They have lots of activities, and it’s a wonderful place for my dad. They clean the bathroom, and they have a piano in the central entry room.

I checked it, and I saw that they have a nice-sized bathroom, which I think will help my mother. The place looked clean, and it didn't smell odd or anything. We didn’t eat there, but I saw that the dining room was very well appointed, and it has a very nice view of the outside. So far, I like the staff and the facility itself.

A friend of my daughter suggested to me to look here because her father who lived there liked it. So, we visited it. It was good and it was an independent living. They had little cottages at the back and I really liked that concept because not many of them have that. That meant we could keep furniture and stuff. The facility was nice. The dining room was nice and the people all looked happy. It was a nice environment. If you could walk, you could go to the main building where you eat. However, if walking was a problem, well I guess you would need one of those carts or something like that.

It was wonderful. They had so much activities for the people that live there. They called and invited me frequently. I would be there tomorrow for lunch. Even though I had no plan of moving there, they were so nice to me. They took me any time I wanted to stop by and had a meal with them. I told them recently that my living situation would be changing. But if I was going to stay here in Austin, they would be my first consideration. I had a friend who lived there and she was very happy there.
