My dad lived in Solstice Senior Living before he got to the point where he told me, "I think I need a safer place." I actually moved his furniture in, set up his apartment, and met most of the people that worked there, then COVID hit, so dad was there before it was shut down. When COVID hit, the food was served cold, which was not a fault of their own. They're serving a hundred people on three different floors and how can you get everybody's food to them hot? That's hard. I was so pleased when Dad moved there because they have the van, they have day trips that they go on, and they have activities that are brought to the facility. They have game days, a pool table, a library, and exercise machines that you can use. Dad really seemed like to do his own laundry and there's a laundry facility on every floor that you didn't have to pay to use, you just took your laundry detergent and I really liked that. I thought that the outside part of it was very well kept and really pretty. In the back they have a swimming pool, which of course they're not using now, because you can't get that close. They had a rose garden back there too. When I was moving dad's furniture in I saw a family of quail and two rabbits. Dad is an outdoor person, so I was thinking, "Oh, he'll love seeing the rabbits around here." I loved his room. We moved right in, we decorated, and they were very kind to help us. I would have liked to have the toilet replaced, it was too low to the floor. I would have liked a handicap toilet in there, but I purchased an arm rest for him that you can attach to the toilet, and that took care of that. There were like five things that I wanted done to the apartment before we moved in, and I just made a list of it, and bam, it was done very quickly. There was a blind missing from the window and an outlet with a missing cover. The only thing I didn't get off of that list was the new toilet fixture because the one that he had, for the time he lived there, was rested and it was too low. I really didn't have any complaints. They were the sweetest. I was so sorry to leave there. I had been in and out before we moved dad to another community and I knew everybody. They were so kind, caring, and genuinely interested in their community. They call their people who lived there "their community." I was well pleased and thankful my dad started off there. I really wished he could still be there because it was less restrictive. For his safety, he has to be locked in. I guess at Solstice, before he left, he was out walking on the sidewalk at 4:00 a.m. in the morning, so that's not safe.

I toured Solstice Senior Living at Las Cruces. Everything is right under the same roof. You don't have to move and go outside from place to place, so. I like it. The staff was very pleasant. It was beautiful inside and well cared for, and had a big library and card rooms, and things to do.

My husband and I went to Solstice Senior Living at Las Cruces. It's a very nice community. I know there are all kinds of activities, but I see that he wouldn't be happy to be there and in one room. He still likes to walk around the house here, and he wouldn't know where to go. The room was kind of distant from other rooms and I don't know where he would go to participate in activities. It's right next to the huge dining area and no other rooms. The lady that showed us around was very nice. The d...

Solstice Senior Living at Las Cruces was very nice. I talked to some of the residents there, and they were very pleased with it, but I was not too impressed. They're having a big price increase in January, and it put me out of their price league. The rooms were nice, but I just was not comfortable with the price increases that they're going to have. The amenities and the activities were good. They were under a lot of construction at the time, which is understandable. They were replacing a lot of...

I was really impressed with the two women that gave me the tour at Solstice Senior Living at Las Cruces. They answered all my questions, gave me all the information, and were very helpful. One of the things that I don't particularly appreciate or like about it is the requirement to move in is $3000. It is non-refundable. When you move out, they take that money to renovate and do whatever repairs are necessary to prepare the unit to be reoccupied. I think that's a little exorbitant. The atmosphe...

I visited the Solstice Senior Living at Las Cruces. It's an independent living. It was nice, and I liked it. The lady there was very nice. We looked at the place, and I have no problems with it. The staff was very helpful. The living facility, the recreational facilities, the dining room facilities, the parking, and everything looks very nice. It looks like they have a gym, a library, and gathering facilities.

I went to Solstice Senior Living at Las Cruces. For a studio, they want almost $2500 to $2600 a month. It had a sink and a refrigerator, but there's no kitchen. It was very small. Plus, they also want a $3000 upfront, so I can't afford it. If you can afford it, it's probably alright, but it's really out of my price range. The general appearance was OK. It's very austere and kind of a sterile environment, but it was clean. There was nothing wrong about it except I thought it was not a very welcom...

The feeling that I got at Solstice Senior Living at Las Cruces was that it was a senior living facility, but it was more of a glorified apartment building, and I think it's probably the newest of the three facilities I visited. The apartments were very nice and modern. The young lady that I spoke to was extremely nice and extremely helpful. When I asked about extended care for Mother there, they said I could arrange for that care, but they didn't provide it. Most of the people there, they seem t...

My mother is currently at Solstice Senior Living at Las Cruces and some things were misrepresented. First of all, they have trouble with their elevator constantly and there's only one elevator, so we were very unhappy about that. Then their advertisement says they provide three elevated meals a day, but I've been taking pictures of the meals and it's paltry. It's ridiculous. It's like an egg salad sandwich in a little container. They need to more clearly represent what they have to offer and wha...

My mom really liked Solstice Senior Living at Las Cruces. It was great, she really liked it. It was very homey and had a lot of good activities. They gave us a lot of time to look around during the tour. The place was great. It was very nice. It was almost like apartments. It didn't feel like a nursing home. She likes that because it has more of a homey, apartment-like feeling. You could bring your own furniture and decorate, even do gardening outside if you wanted to. They had calendars of a...

My mother will move into Solstice Senior Living at Las Cruces. It's a beautiful place, and I want to go there when I get old. The apartment is quite functional, it's not very fancy, and it looks very safe. It's a one-bedroom apartment, it has handholds in the bathroom, and a nice, big, patio. Everybody has been extremely helpful, very nice, they invited us to stay for lunch, took their time touring us around, and answered all of our questions. The food was excellent and we enjoyed it. They were ...

My mother really liked Solstice Senior Living at Las Cruces. It was very clean and she liked the rooms. The grounds and everything were excellent. It was a super nice facility, well kept, well run, and they've got friendly people. The price was affordable for her. They go on day trips, to museums, and to different places, there's a hairdresser there, exercise equipment, and different activities. People came up to the table and introduced themselves at lunchtime. She has a nice room and a nice ba...

Solstice Senior Living is independent living, it was terrible, and they're a fire trap. They have a rickety elevator that services the units, if there's a fire, they have a stairway at the end of the hallway, but if they have somebody in a walker or wheelchair up there on the third floor, there's no way they're going to get down.

We're impressed with Solstice Senior Living at Las Cruces. It was lovely. They served us lunch and took us on a guided tour around and showed us all of the different amenities, the swimming pool, and the different things they had to offer there that we could use. They had a library and the internet. Their schedule of activities was quite adequate. They had three meals a day, and the food was delicious. The facility was clean, lovely, and very inviting.

The rooms were well organized, and he place was very nice. They served three meals that were very well balanced and healthy. They had a swimming pool, a place where you can play card games and recreational field trips. The staff was very nice.

We looked here, and it was lovely. The apartments were very bright. The cottages were large and pleasant looking. It just didn’t fit us. They don’t have many activities. Many of the residents seemed mobility challenged. It just didn’t seem like an independent living place, but the residents were very warm and nice. It’s just not for us. We have eaten there, and it was rather institutional. The meal times were inflexible.

My ex-wife has signed up here. The rooms and apartments are fine. The dining room looks nice. What I like most about it is you can age in place. As your health deteriorates, you can add services. I think it is a very good feature.

It was a big facility. We have tried the food and it was nutritious and good. The staff was wonderful. It was just too big. I am afraid she would get lost in there because she is blind. They said that she would not and promised to take care of her. It was a really nice facility, but it was too much. I would recommend this facility though. We have friends living there.

I visited and it's delightful because: 1. I could have a pet 2. They had a swimming pool 3. It's in Las Cruces and I have a lots of friends there. I also used to work at the theater department of the university there, and I would be able to work at that placeagain . The staff treated me nicely. It was very clean, and it was more like a homey environment.

My mother-in-law had a stroke 8 months ago and at 92 working hard at recovering. This facility staff did the entire move and room set up, installed the accessibility options needed and went out of their way to welcome her to the community. We have been their many times to visit with her and joined her for meals. The cook is actually a master chef and it really shows. There are plenty of choices brought around by cheerful staff on rolling carts. This is done in courses which allows for a very ple...
