Caterers are mediocre and residents are expected to provide a lot [name removed]has brought food often which is a ++ for her. I expected more food provided and I think that would be good to know. Especially that there are a fair number of resident bring food events. Everyone enjoys different things and we can't all be happy with all the activities. Pick what you like and be grateful for those. Do something else if the activity doesn't appeal to you. I love living at Solea and I feel like the community saved me after my husband died. They offered friendship, camaraderie, places to go and things to do! I did not become an apartment hermit!! And I have a real sense of family. I think it's important to get out and about if you want to live a healthy life and no building can do that. You have to take some steps to meet people halfway
