Solstice was a very nice place. The apartment was small but had a good layout. It was easy to access the refrigerator and stove in the ones that had those appliances. There were several game tables. There was even a pool table in one of the recreation rooms. They had small tables where you could play checkers and chess and good recreation. The staff member who gave us a tour was helpful. She answered our questions and was very courteous. From what I could observe briefly as we walked through the place, I saw the staff interacting with the residents. There were laughter and smiles. It seemed like a very happy community. The place was very pretty. The apartments were small, but you can get different sizes. The outside of the building and the grounds were very beautiful.

We chose Charbonneau (Solstice Senior Living) for my father because of their people and their price. It's also very clean, very well operated, and the cost is a lot less than most places. I like it very much. Their food is just typical generic food for a group of people like that, but their activities are good.

The units at Charbonneau are big and spacious. The place is absolutely immaculate from the interior to the exterior to the grounds. I’m in a worker’s disability program, so my income was a determining factor and this fits. This place is great, very organized, and very professional in their approach so that things are done, literally, in an hour’s time. They are very proficient and efficient at what they do here, and I don't have any complaints. I get three fresh meals every day. You have your options at breakfast, at lunch, and at dinner. I am a diabetic, and I don’t have to curtail my eating habits because they actually have an accommodating menu that addresses my medical concerns. It really is a great fit. I have a kitchen in my unit without a stove, but with a microwave, a full-size fridge, a kitchen sink, and plenty of cabinets. I can’t give this place enough praise; everything is working out in a great fashion.

Charbonneau was well located and pretty good, but I didn’t like the room that I saw. It gave me a closed-in feeling. The staff was good, pleasant, and very welcoming. Their dining hall was pretty nice. Everything I saw was impressive.

We did not much care for Charbonneau. We didn’t like the food system since it seemed like it took an awful long time to feed people. The rooms were nice and had nice carpeting and nice amenities but seemed quite small for us.

The staff at Charbonneau was really nice. The decor was a little bit dated, though. The residents were outside doing some activities and seemed to be really happy. The dining room was nice and big, but the furnishings were dated. The rooms looked small to me and just a little bit bigger than a hospital room. They have a beauty shop and an exercise room with a bicycle and a treadmill. The grounds were really nice and neat and had little patios, which I liked. The parking lot was good. If they could renovate the interior decor to make it more modern, maybe more people would be interested in this facility.

It was a pretty good experience. I liked it over at Charbonneau. The staff was excellent; as a matter of fact, they keep calling me to come over and visit with them. They actually told me that they wanted me to come over because they really like me. The atmosphere was great, and they have a pretty good layout. They have nice studio apartments, and they put me on top of the list for one. At the moment, I just couldn’t put that kind of money down. They asked me to go with the Vets, and I might do that.

Charbonneau has one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments. They serve three meals a day, and they have a chef that cooks the meals. They provide activities for the seniors and have exercise, outings, get togethers, and really encourage everyone to participate. They also do puzzles and play games to keep everybody moving and getting to know each other. The staff is great and very caring. My mother-in-law loves it there.

My mother stayed at Charbonneau. It’s a retirement living community, and you hire health care from another, outside source. The dining area and other accommodations are nice. My mom was very pleased with the food. They can improve on consistency in their work.

At Charbonneau, the food was wonderful. They even invited us to come and stay for a couple of days. They were very, very helpful. I think they would give us their shirt off their backs. They were extremely helpful and very nice. They toured us and showed us the rooms. However, they were a little less expensive than the other facility, and the rooms were a little bit larger.

My father-in-law is now in Charbonneau. It is a really nice place. I am not sure exactly how long it has been there, it is really pretty though, and he likes it there. They do go on trips, and I didn't know that, but I know they have stuff like exercise things in there, they can get their hair done, and of course the lunches and everything. They have games and stuff like that, they have a pool room, and they have different games. They seem very welcoming, very nice, and very caring.

We have been to Charbonneau. We like this place the best. It had a nicer room layout. It had a very nice dining room. We like this facility better than some of the others we have been through -- either for the layout of the rooms or for what they have. Charbonneau was very nice. They have plenty of people there. Their dining room had a very nice staff. The actual staff of the community ate lunch with the people. They actually take the time to go out, sit with the people, and eat with them. They just seemed genuinely concerned about the people there. Their apartment layouts were very nice.
