May 24, 2024Thank you for your positive review of Solstice at Lee's Summit. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us. Should you have any further questions or concerns, do not hesitate to reach out. Have a great day!
This is the place for you or your loved ones if you like disorganized chaos, unprofessionalism, lies , and broken promises of upkeep, sanitation, and cleanliness. Hit or miss dining experience staffed by immature young adults who allow aggression and lack of empathy for their elders. Compassionless to the folks who pay them for an over priced understaffed brothel that is Condoned. The only time they will acknowledge you is if it is the first of month when rent is due. Signed by a former residents daughter and family!

Everyone tries the best to make residents happy, but there is always a few bad apples (residents), pushing the staffs buttons. Residents need to be more patient, because there are only so many of them.

December 20, 2023Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a positive review! We appreciate your kind words. Have a great day!
Solstice met my mom's needs until her passing last February. The food is never good enough and there is only one elevator for the entire facility. Other than that, the apartment was spacious, clean, affordable with great people to assist. Traditions hospice and Aging in Place, which were agencies associated with Solstice, were invaluable in providing great care for my mom during her last weeks.

July 14, 2023Thank you for the kind review, Debra. We truly appreciate you taking the time to leave us feedback. Please let us know if there's anything else we can assist you with. Have a great day!
They have a shuttle for residents, but the window of availability is very small and my mom has never been able to use it. Tuesday and Thursday medical appointment times are 10:30-2:00. Wednesday times are 12:30-2:00. They only go within a 15 mile radius. They go to Walmart on Tuesdays at 10. Other than that, I would absolutely recommend Solstice Senior Living at Lee's Summit to others.

March 10, 2023Thank you so much for the kind review and recommendation of Solstice at Lee's Summit, Julia! We truly appreciate you taking the time to leave us feedback. Feel free to reach out with any questions. Have a great day!
Beautiful facility. The staff needs a lot of work. They have been known not provide services to the residents. The Director of Aging has been known to use foul language to the residents and she does not make sure they get their services (including pills). All of the staff needs traning on how to work with the elderly. They need to have understanding that they can get confused, lonely, and bored. The house keeping staff does not cleanas well or as much as they are supposed to. I wish I could leave a better review but that would be lying. Please only send your loved one here if they are fully independent and just want to down size.

January 30, 2023Good afternoon. We are sorry to hear about your experience. We take great pride in the robust activity programs that are offered to residents daily. These activities are geared to keep our residents' mind sharp and bodies active. Our housekeeping team is held to the Solstice standard of cleaning each apartment weekly. Since we are an independent living community, our associates are not authorized to dispense medication though we do offer those services through third party providers. We encourage you to reach out directly to the medication management company you used. If you would like to discuss further, please contact Jill Baldwin-Morgan, executive director, at leessummited@solsticeseniorliving.com.
We decided on Solstice Senior Living at Lee's Summit because of the proximity to my house as well as the affordability. I liked that they have the aging in place process. They also have select rehabilitation so I can get her some professional rehab or physical therapy and it is right there on site. They have a very nice working active beauty salon in house as well. The one thing that is missing is they have one elevator for this big huge facility, so meal times are very crowded and it takes a while to get to and from. Overall we would recommend this facility to others looking.

I'm not really happy with it. I think you should look a little closer before deciding to move here. The food situation needs improvement. They don't serve good quality food. The apartment is just okay. The staff are good though.

September 30, 2022Good morning, James. Thank you for your feedback. Our culinary team works hard to create meals that are nutritious and delicious and provide a great dining experience for our residents. We would like to know more about your experience our community. Please contact our executive director at LeesSummitED@SolsticeSeniorLiving.com or (816) 439-7820 if you would like to discuss further. Thank you.
Our family had an in person tour and it was a nice experience. They played a lot of activities and the bingo was going on over the speakers it was so loud it reminded us of being on a cruise ship. They do serve their meals on scheduled times which we decided would not work for our loved one - they only serve continental breakfast and not a full breakfast. Lunch is only served Saturday's and Sundays, and dinner is served between 4:00pm - 6:00 pm

I wouldn't recommend Solstice Senior Living at Lee's Summit, at least not right now. They are very slow to get things done. My mom had a bad experience. They didn't give her the emergency button for several days after moving in. Because of that she fell, was laying there for hours, and couldn't be reached. We couldn't get in because our fob didn't work, and neither could the fire department. While she was in the hospital from the fall, they apologized and they made sure to get us a working fob. For the first 5 days she was there, not one meal was delivered on time nor in the right way. I was staying with her during that time and I'd put the order in myself, but they still wouldn't get it to her on time. And if I had to leave, I couldn't trust that they would get her food to her. The quality of the food is fine. They seem to have activities posted, but the few times I went to check them out - there were hardly any participants, which isn't their fault. They've been redecorating massively and I know that's put some obstacles in the way for a couple weeks. Their communication is poor, I typically have to reach out to them first. I would just say overall - Solstice needs to make the place more secure, the residents should have their button and the security that the door will remain open during the day and closed at night. At one point, the door could be opened at night with a little force, but they've fixed the fob issue since then.

Thank you.
Make sure you check out every other option. Solstice is okay; but if your family needs any kind of help, and isn't totally independent - then Solstice may not be for them. For A Place for Mom: The lady who helped me with A Place for Mom was wonderful, and did a lot of following up with me and was very good. I'm definitely not dissatisfied with A Place for Mom.

There is room for improvement, they are very short on help right now, there are no cleaners and no cooking staff. It takes a couples hours for the meals and then you are served less then satisfactory food.

December 9, 2021Thank you so much for the feedback, Vance. We are pleased to hear you had a great experience while on tour at our community. We truly appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. Have a wonderful day!
My mother has been a resident of Solstice for over 2 years. When she moved in meals and service were great, but after about 3 months there was a decline in service and meals. I contacted management and corporate both, the meals have not improved. Some meals they serve are corn dogs and hot dogs with spaghetti . Not what I call nutritional meal. Originally there were four servers, now they have two. It sometimes takes 2 hours to complete a meal. There have been times there is no coffee, no milk, no apple juice, no creamer, and no oatmeal when the building is across the street from a Walmart. The facility is very pleasant, with lovely flowers. When we first visited they had printed menus, and offered two full meals for your choice at lunch and dinner, like peppercorn tenderloin. Now you have an entree or a salad as your choice .
