Very friendly and helpful staff. And Solstice is very economical. It's about half the cost of most assisted living homes. Granted they don't have the in-house assistance that may be needed. But they are very accommodating on bringing outside Medicare purchased help in. Also, the apartments are cleaned once a week and bed linens washed and replaced.... Read more

If you ever have any questions about our community or programs, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thanks so much. Have a great day!
Apartment cleaning needs some more attention to detail. The common area carpet always gets cleaned, but looks dirty. There are some very messy tenants and they need to hold tenants responsible for their mess to help cover the expense. The food quality needs improvement, as well as having more selection. My mom enjoys all of the games. She does not participate in crafts, but she also likes Happy Hour and the off-site activities. They did have a substantial increase at renewal of [fee removed] due to inflation.

My friends aren't too happy with Solstice Living because they didn't tell them about all the hidden charges that were involved, like a mandatory $[removed] move in fee, and $[removed] mandatory fee for emergency bracelets, movers have to use the stairs instead of the elevator to go up to the higher floors which cost my friends another $[removed] due to having to use the stairs ,parking is terrible for residents due to no assigned spots and all the staff and visitors take up most of the spots . Place is very clean and friendly , Food is ok, lots of activities and laundry

My mom's transformation after we moved her to Solstice Senior Living is astounding. Within days, she went from sad and isolated to cheerful and social. I could sense the positive, welcoming vibe immediately from the staff to the residents. I always imagined that finding a community like this was unaffordable and would cost a fortune. I now realize creating a unique environment like this is about attitude, commitment, purpose, and open communication. Our only regret is that my dad is not around to share Mom's newfound joy and adventure.

I’ve been here for 3 years and I really like living here. Residents are really friendly and helpful. Sometimes I need help with my phone and the staff always helps me out. I like the sports club a lot and watch the news and I understand more about the sports from the club. It’s a positive fun group. They do all sports and I enjoy myself coming. I look forward to the activities here.

From the moment I walked into Solstice I knew this was the right place for my sister. Such a wonderful greeting from the staff at the front desk to the management ... really everyone I met throughout my visit was a positive experience. Absolutely spotless and warm atmosphere. There is something to do for everyone every day! The meals are great and my sister's unit is amazing. She has been at Solstice for a little over a month and has settled in beautifully. She is so happy to call this place her home. When I come to visit she always has a smile on her face and it has brought so many positive changes to her life. Best new life experience ever!

What we like about Solstice Senior Living is mostly an all inclusive plan. Prepared meals and social activities. At the moment we are unsure if we would recommend the community to others. The food quality has been average and sometimes. Not great for my mom. Seems to go through a lot of staffing changes.

The dining room is beautiful, and the food is excellent!They have great programs in the building for PT, a health clinic, and home health aides. From the beginning the staff was welcoming and friendly. They have a wonderful program for new residents to get acclimated, and all types of activities from games to a walking club and field trips to places such as the Shedd aquarium or the theater. All the staff know the residents and and notice if one has not been around for a bit and will check on them.

I can't say enough about how happy I am with Solstice at Palatine as home for my brother. My brother really enjoys the delicious meals he eats every day at Solstice. He also likes the senior services such as library book drop offs right to him. The apartments are well maintained and the building is safe, clean and very nicely decorated. The Solstice team does a beautiful job of helping and serving their residents, and couldn't be any nicer and caring. Solstice also offers a wide variety of enjoyable activities for residents to engage in. I love Solstice at Palatine, and my brother is happy living there.
