July 1, 2024Thank you for your feedback. We would like to hear more about your experience. Our residents are always our top priority, and our associates and partners work hard to accommodate each and every one of their needs through the services we provide. If you would like to discuss further, please contact our executive director, Farron Boreham, at grotonED@solsticeseniorliving.com or (860) 446-2889. Thank you
I'm speaking as an outsider. Going on my mother's opinion. We chose Solstice because of the cleanliness, friendliness of everyone, and cooking her meals, etc. But rent is very high for being understaffed I think. My sister and I have been helping to pay her rent for about a year. They usually seem short-staffed which leads to delays at mealtimes, affects housekeeping, etc. We moved mom in in Nov 2022 and are still unable to get any assistance through Patriot Angels. They ASSURED me before she moved that it would be no problem. Yet we didn't. My mom is moving this month to the retirement section of Complete Care in Groton and will get assistance through the state to pick up the excess that she is not able to pay. My mom made wonderful friends there and would love to stay, but can't afford it now.

They offer activites daily, and three meals per day. Overall, they were available to meet with me, and answer any questions that I had. They need to improve on their Wi-Fi services. I would recommend to other famlies, because they offer meals, and have activities. It is as accomodating, and as welcoming as it can be. For the price, it's worth what it costs.

You can have peace of mind knowing that your family member is in a place where they'll be taken care of. They're served food three times a day. There's a washer and dryer right outside their door. So you don't have to worry. The apartment is small but perfect for a single person. And my loved one gets along with everybody.

They were great all the way through. I was really pleased that I was able to find something that worked for my loved one that we were able to afford. The apartment was great. They had it repainted and put in a new floor before she moved in. They're updating things regularly and taking care of the facility well. She wasn't able to experience the social aspects as much since she declined and ended up needing assisted living, but that was not on Solstice at all.

Our loved one was a resident at Solstice and it is a very old building that really needs some upkeep, it almost seemed a little depressing and just disappointing. Once they started loosing their staff everything went downhill - house keeping suffered, as well as the food and transportation.

Solstice Senior Living basically saved our loved ones life. She is very satisfied with the cleanliness of the community and the staff there are very friendly. With the activities she does get involved in she really enjoys them. Overall she does enjoy the food but she says they do serve a lot of cheese and milk products and that is something our loved one needs to stay away from. Based on our overall experience we would recommend this community to other families.

This is a perfect community for your loved one. They have some type of activity for everyone at this community. They have different card games, and different activities based on different cultures and countries. The staff are extremely helpful and is always there answering questions. Anything that we need they are always there for us and our loved one.

The value for the money is excellent. They are pet friendly and can generally give you a ground floor apartment. We also have 5 raised flower bends that residents are able to tend too, it is a big plus. They have so many activities provided, something is going on at all times. The apartment sizes are great. I do think that they need new carpeting in hallways. Meals are suitable and you have a good variety to choose from. I would definitely recommend to others looking.

Our loved one is really enjoying the meals and dining as well as the activities. We were very impressed the minute we walked into this community, it is very pretty and extremely clean. The staff members are very professional and down to earth towards the residents. The elderly residents there are very with it, you can tell they are really enjoying it. Solstice is a very good community and just very impressive.

We chose Solstice Senior Living because I thought the friendliness and follow up from the staff members was great. The price was also a bargain, the facility looked clean and it is in a good area. I think the apartment sizes here are adequate. The food here is good, they do provide a menu with choices to choose from. Overall it is a great place and we have no complaints at all. I would not hesitate putting a family member here.

April 23, 2021Thanks for leaving such kind feedback, Chris! We're happy to hear that you had a great experience at our community.
It's really hard to say because things have been pretty different than they would be normally because of Covid. There haven't been a lot of activities. One thing my loved one didn't like is the size of the apartments - they are very small. And the food wasn't as good as they tried to make it out to be. The vegetables were lousy, and there wasn't a lot of variety for breakfast. The staff seem very caring. They just didn't always have answers for specific questions my loved one had. We liked that everything is all-inclusive. It might have been a different experience if visitors had been able to come and go freely, if more activities were going on, if there had been access to the dining room, including the all-day dining experience they described to us. As it was, it felt more like a nursing home. I understand that was all due to Covid, but we ended up moving to senior apartments.

April 8, 2021Thanks for leaving your feedback, Brenna! We're sorry to hear that your loved one didn't chose Solstice Senior Living at Groton, but we're happy to hear that our staff provided a great tour.
Last year a loved one came to take a tour. I would recommend you be careful as they tell you things that aren't true. There is no bus or transportation to go to the bank or shopping. There is no bus driver. We wanted to go to a specific town and thought the community would take us and they won't go to the city. The food quality is a problem. We are working on getting the food improved. The just reopened the dining room this weekend. There was only one juice available and it was limited choices of drinks.

February 24, 2021We are sorry to hear that you haven’t had the best experience at our community. Due to COVID-19 restrictions set by the state, our transportation bus can only go to medical appointments during this time. We are currently in the process of hiring a new driver for our transportation services. Under ordinary circumstances, residents are welcome to travel to adjacent towns for anything they may need. We have also recently hired a Senior Culinary Services Director onsite to help keep our meals fresh and nutritious! If you would like to speak with our Executive Director about how we can make our community even better for our residents, please call Robin Smith at [removed].
I chose Solstice Senior Living because of the value for the money, the location is near my family, and I was able to go to a place that offered independent living not assisted living. The apartment sizes here are adequate, I am on the first floor and have a patio so I can sit outside. I gave the food a 3 because of the quality, the portion sizes are small, and it is cold. Also, what they list is not always what I get. I am concerned about that because I am diabetic. Overall, I am very satisfied with where I am, it is very convenient and other than the food I have no complaints. I would recommend this facility to anybody.

December 3, 2020Thank you so much for your five-star review! We are so glad that you are enjoying living at Solstice at Groton.
Solstice Senior Living is very clean and the staff are wonderful we haven't had any issues. It is definitely worth every penny, it was the least expensive community in our area. They have been very cooperative even with the recent transitions they are going through with some new staff members. With COVID we haven't really been able to see what is going on, however i do get to visit once a week and they do have a very nice library and small projects the residents can work on. The also did outside concerts while the weather was nice.
