July 23, 2024Thank you so much for taking the time to share your positive experience at Solstice at Rio Norte! Your recommendation and feedback mean a lot to us, have a great day!
The complex has been undergoing construction since we've moved my dad and brother in. The 2 bedroom units are spacious and the patios are very large which is nice. We were provided great customer service and the food has been good for the most part. The only issues we've had has been with the maintenance dept as they don't seem to prioritize their to do list. I'm sure the construction is one of the reasons they haven't gotten to items we have reported.

May 16, 2024Good afternoon, Irma. Thank you for your feedback. As you know, our community is currently undergoing a renovation, so there may be a little extra construction dust; but we are excited to be making improvements to our community to better serve our residents. Our residents are always our top priority, and our associates 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, Elena Cabello at rionorteED@SolsticeSeniorLiving.com or 915-856-6655. Thank you.
I'd say it has been a pleasant experience so far. No significant issues. Mom seems comfortable and is in better health. Price, atmosphere, amenities, facility layout, location and they worked with me on the move in date.

November 9, 2022Thank you for your review of Solstice at Rio Nortet! We appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback and we are so glad your loved one is enjoying our community. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Have a great day!
My loved ones' emotional and mental status has improved significantly since moving from the previous community to Solstice. The staff have been very responsive to any questions I have by phone, typical a return call within one hour. There are choices for the residents to choose from for meals. There are daily menus and then the resident has the option of ordering off the menu and receiving a sandwich or hamburger instead. There is a calendar with all the activities going on. There is always something for the residents to participate in.

June 21, 2022Thank you so much for the five-star review, Michael! We are pleased to hear that your loved one is enjoying our community and truly appreciate you taking the time to leave us feedback. Feel free to reach out with any questions. Have a wonderful day!
They're very friendly and courteous. And they're always looking after their residents. Their activities are really good. During Halloween, they had a costume party. They always seem to have special things monthly, church weekly, and lots of other things going on., If a person wants to be active, they can be as active as they want to be. Overall it's just a really good organization.

It's a nice living facility. The workers are great. They're very friendly. So are the people who live here. The food is not all that bad, but it could use a lot of help. I would like to see more choices and more variety. They serve a lot of baked potatoes, hamburgers, salads, etc. I think the cost is a little high, but that seems to be the going rate.

December 3, 2021Thank you for your review of Solstice at Rio Norte, Anthony. We truly appreciate you taking the time to leave us feedback. Have a wonderful day!
We chose Solstice because it was closer to where he used to live and so he is familiar with the area and feels comfortable there. The apartment that we chose is a good size for him and what he needs. The staff is very friendly and courteous. I would recommend to others looking.

This place sucks! The place wasn't ready to be moved in when I showed up for my move in scheduled date. The food doesn't taste good and they don't give you enough of it. The staff is good to work with, the managers aren't good.

We chose Solstice senior living because of the location, the price, and what they had to offer. The apartment sizes here are appropriate. It has been hard because of covid since they are so limited on what they can do, but I would recommend them.

March 1, 2021Thank you so much for your feedback! We are dedicated to keeping our residents safe and healthy, especially during the pandemic, and strive to ensure every resident and family has a great experience. Since March 2020, our team has reimagined our Elevated Dining and Vibrant Life programs to ensure that our residents stay engaged and active with safe and socially-distant activities.
We do like the staff members there and they have been really good with the activities during the pandemic. They are still safely social distancing and for that they would get a 5+, they have been extremely good.

February 12, 2021Thank you so much for your five-star review, Kathy. Our team works hard to make sure our residents are safe and happy at Solstice Senior Living at Rio Norte. We are pleased to hear that your experience with us has been wonderful!
This community is not perfect but it is good, and it is very clean. The staff members are very friendly. The just recently changed leadership over the summer and even when they were allowed to do activities it was very minimal. The rooms at this community are quite adequate, and just enough space. The rooms don't allow for any unnecessary items to be stored which is what we liked.

November 20, 2020Thank you so much for taking the time to review our community. We are glad you are happy with your experience at Solstice Senior Living at Rio Norte!
Where to begin... my dad moved to Solstice Senior Living Rio Norte, El Paso a few months after my mom died. He was looking for a home that provided comfortable living, good food, and nice people. Wrong on all accounts. The management at Solstice Senior Living Rio Norte, El Paso bullies its residents, refuses to address problems of basic human needs (temperatures in my dad's apartment would exceed 85 degrees, with the air conditioner on, and told there was nothing wrong), along with inedible and either-overcooked or raw food, rarely anything in-between. As a result of my dad complaining and offering alternatives, his rental agreement was terminated while he was suffering from pneumonia. Thankfully, my dad had the ability to relocate, moved into a small house where he now lives alone and is much happier. Please do not move someone you love into Solstice Senior Living Rio Norte, El Paso.

This place has been the best thing for my family and our love one, Staff is very professional and caring, food is just like home cooking and Chef talks with us every time we visit. The General Manager is a very caring person and keeps us informed of any changes in our family members. We highly recommend Rio Norte

This facility would be the one we would consider when we are ready. [Name removed] made sure we understood that they do not care for client's medical needs. We would ensure some type of long term care visits would be available for her physical needs. I will be in touch when we are ready to take the next step. Thanks for your help.
