Solista Carson by Cogir

I happen to love this place so much. I have my mother-in-law and my father here to make life a little easier for our family. The staff here is incredible and very friendly. Yes, the place is older, but I have found that older folks actually like the well-worn sofas and chairs. It's not really worn it's just seasoned really good like a great steak. My mother-in-law has a very nice studio with a very large bathroom with grab bars and a seat in the shower (which she loves) and a huge closet and lots of storage for all her groceries that she gets delivered and put away from the local Walmart. My dad has an exceptionally large one bedroom that is more than he really needs but somehow filled that place up and loves his ground level private patio and glass storm door that is open all hours that he's awake so he can keep an eye out of all things going on with access to the parking lot which houses his beloved truck. They are located 4 apartments down from each other and They both love their own private spaces and feel very taken care of. My dad does not like the food much, but my mother-in-law doesn't miss a meal. I thought the exact opposite of that situation. My Mother-in-law loves to cook so I thought she was going to just miserable there because they do not have a stove in their little kitchens. but they do have a community kitchen with a nice stove and oven and can make whatever they want for themselves (or I should say) cook for others as well. They have very nice staff members who clean their rooms weekly, change their linens and knock on doors for meal planning if they don't see your face as they should. They try to engage you as much as they can without making you feel like you must attend all functions. I've gotten calls from staff members concerned when one is not where they usually are and that is a wonderful thing to be reckoned with. We saw quite a few other places when deciding on where a family member could go when your house is already full to maximum capacity, and we chose the best place in Carson City we think they would continue to thrive! and they both are living proof (one is 84 the other just turned 80) that this is the place to be!!

It was great. I was touring with Kimberley and people came up and were just praising the place and that made me feel really good. People there were definitely happy and content. It was very nice. They have a nice dining room. They have arts and crafts. They have a salon. The size of the studio was a nice size. There's a small balcony. I feel they really care about their residents. I really like it there. We're definitely considering them. They have an activity room, they have exercise classes, and they have transportation to doctors. I got a comfortable, warm family feeling there.

It was homey and its more independent living, so the apartment had a kitchenette, and the bathroom was accessible. It had a really nice outdoor area. The greenery was nice. They had a gazebo, but no pool or anything. The staff was very nice and professional.

I like it and the homey feel of the place. I like the way the employees treat the residents, and that the residents participate in the actual decorating of the place. So, therefore, it's not like professionally decorated and sterile. I also like that the apartments are very roomy. They do have a dining room.

It was fantastic. The woman who took me around, Maria, was quite charming, very nice, and did an excellent tour. I enjoyed meeting her and some of the staff. It's also a clean place. I got there in the middle of lunch and was supposed to have one, but no one told Maria. The dining room looked very nice though.

It was a very, very nice community, and I liked everything about it, my mom just wasn't ready for it yet. There was so much there. We got to see a couple of apartments, and everything about it was nice. One of the most important things, everyone we came into contact with there was so friendly. The staff, residents, you name it, they were just delightful people, but they have so much they can do. This isn't really an assisted care, it's just really senior care because it's pretty much just apartments, but it's people with more in your age group there. I'm just very impressed with it and wouldn't hesitate to move in at all. They didn't do any assisted living and the staff isn't even there overnight; the staff works regular hours. They also include three meals a day, there are usually two items on the menu, and they have a beautiful dining room. Then when the COVID things not going around, they have like a snack area where the people can go up to just pick up little snacks and bring them back. But all their apartments are like little efficiencies. They've got just a little tiny kitchen with a little tiny refrigerator and a sink. You don't do any of your cooking, they take care of all of that for you. They also provide transportation to shopping, doctors' appointments, whatever you need. They normally have so many scheduled outings for those who are interested, like maybe going up to the lake for lunch one day or something like that. If you do need assistance, like someone to come in and help you bathe and a few little things, that you can contract for separately. It's on an as-needed basis, so it's not like you have to sign up for more assistance than you need. The monthly rent also includes weekly cleaning, and they change out your linens for you once a week.
