Solstice Senior Living at Sandy

Solstice Senior Living at Sandy was a really nice place. Their services are really good, but it is on a busy street. The people seemed to be very nice and happy. They have a walking trail, which is really important to me. The staff was very friendly and caring. They offer a lot of activities. I saw some exercise classes and some craft classes.

We toured Solstice Senior Living at Sandy. We saw three rooms that were available towards the dining room, and everything was top-notch. The people who took us around were very cordial and helpful. It was a good experience. They had a library and an activity room. They had Sunday church services available. They were playing games while we were there.

We've visited Solstice Senior Living at Sandy. It was very nice, but they didn't have a full kitchen, but they had a partial kitchen. They had entertainment while we were there, and the residents were very nice. We didn't have a meal there, but we got a treat, and my mother-in-law got a honey butter treat for coming in. The facility was very nice, big, comfortable, and cushy. We saw some live entertainment while we were there. The outdoor space was nice. They had a nice library, an area to play pool and puzzles, and giant dining rooms. Everything was very open and not closed in by walls. But they did not have a full kitchen, so we did not choose that place.

We visited Solstice Senior Living at Sandy and we liked the customer service, the large bedrooms, and the fact that they're currently going to remodel the place in a year. We also think that the location is great and that the price was very, very much reasonable. They had a very large cafeteria, an exercise room, and a beauty parlor that was open twice a week. I would recommend that place.

I liked that Solstice Senior Living at Sandy had screened doors out to their patios, everyone was friendly, and it was very clean. The staff that did the tour was pleasant. The rooms are being remodeled, but they look beautiful, very roomy, and accommodating. They were playing bean bag softball and bingo while we were there, but they also have other things like music, billiards, and a little library for them to go to. One thing I didn't appreciate about the place was that my mom would still have to pay for her own internet and phone because they only have it in a centralized location for the community to use. Also, we're looking for something of a better dining experience, more freedom for meals. Like mom being able go down and get whatever she wanted at any time and not be restricted.

I toured Solstice Senior Living at Sandy and I liked it. I thought it was friendly and attractive, and felt homey. The staff who gave the tour did a great job. did a great job. The rooms were clean, they were attractive, and they had many options. They were also modern, they had exterior doors, and they had patios and balconies. Their activities looked great, they looked fun. Their dining area was attractive but I did not try the food.

I went to look at Solstice Senior Living at Sandy. The people seemed nice. I was there in the afternoon, so it took a long time for someone to talk to me. The staff I met wasn't the actual salesperson. He was the director, and he was very nice. We didn't go into a lot of details, so I don't know what they provide. I saw a rec room, a dining room, and a sitting area. The facility seemed very clean. The staff didn't even take me into any of the rooms. It's near restaurants, malls, and stores. It's pretty busy around there.

The representative that took us around Solstice Senior Living at Sandy was wonderful. She was just really nice. It was fine that it was older, but it was really rundown on the outside. Every window and all the patios had bugs and cobwebs. We were just not impressed with it at all, but the staff was very nice and very helpful. They were excellent. It just needed to be cleaned up and refreshed.

I visited Solstice Senior Living at Sandy. It has a nice apartment, and it was a nice place. We had a nice tour, and we saw several apartments. Mostly they were one-bedroom apartments, but I want two bedrooms. The dining room looked nice, too. You could walk around the area, that was nice. It was very attractive, it was on 106 South, and you couldn't hear any of the traffic. I believe the meals were included in that. We were downstairs and there was a group entertainment. It was a very pleasant experience.

I liked the people at Solstice Senior Living at Sandy because they were very nice. The only thing I would say is that it was a little bit outdated, it's a little old. The lady who I talked to and who toured me was great. Her name is Brittany, I believe, and she was awesome. They had pretty much the same that everyone had. They had a salon, a game room, and a library. It was very nice and they had pretty much everything you would need. I liked the location too because it's almost like a neighborhood, it's right by the mountains, and Sandy is a good area.

I went to Solstice Senior Living at Sandy. It was nice. The apartments were nice. Everything seemed very nice there. I just didn't want to live that far south. Maintenance was good; it seemed to be fine. The person who gave me the tour was very nice. She was very personable and very accommodating as far as answering questions. The dining area was nice. The outdoor spaces seemed OK. They were very pleasantly clean.

Solstice Senior Living at Sandy is an independent living, but I feel like the lack of a kitchen is a big problem for people that still want to cook for themselves. That was a big takeaway for us. The grounds are beautiful, gorgeous, very spacious, lots of places to walk around outside, walking paths. People had their own space to decorate and put flowers out, and the patios were beautiful. They have a beauty salon and they have the main dining room as everyone else does. I think one of their big amenities is that their patios walk out to the main exit so you can exit from your own place and you don't have to go through the main area of the building if you don't want to. So I think that would be the big takeaway from there. The staff was great, the dining area was open and nice.

I moved into Solstice Senior Living at Sandy. They offered me 2 months free rent, they paid $500 to move me, and they waived my deposit. I love my room. I really like it. The food is excellent, the staff is friendly and helpful. They have activities 7 times a day, but that's not something I'm interested in right now. I'm unpacking, and getting everything ready so I can live in the apartment. They do have some gym equipment, they have a home-health agency within, and they have nurses and CNAs, and physical therapists who work with the residents. They have a library, they have beautiful paintings on the walls, and hopefully after this COVID, they're gonna be updating the facility on the inside. The food is better than other places, it's very diverse, flavorful, and I think they have a chef preparing it, it's really good. The rooms are spaced far enough apart that they're not on top of each other, very quiet, I cannot hear my neighbor, and he can't hear me.

I saw Solstice Senior Living at Sandy. They were absolutely wonderful. I thought they were really nice, they were just too small right now. The staff was very nice, extremely accommodating, really nice, very friendly, and very sweet. They looked like they were in excellent condition.

Solstice Senior Living at Sandy is a huge place with a lot of rooms. The place was clean and attractive. We have performed there and they treated us very well. The living atmosphere appears to be good, it was friendly, and comfortable. The price was reasonable and I appreciated that.

I understand theres alot of concern going on with the world right now but that does NOT give anyone the right to emotional abuse / neglect our elders. I am very upset by the way my family has been treated while living here. They arent getting the meals that are included in the rent, their apt isn't getting cleaned, they're wheelchair bound they cant clean themselves, because of covid 19 i cant go in and do it; then the executive director had the nerve to yell at them like they are trash! I am so livid. You should not be in the position you are if you cant treat your residents with dignity and respect. Their turn over rate with staff is ridiculous. It's just not well handled with how much they charge. Like I said I know theres alot going on in the world right now but that doesnt mean you give up on those living unaffected.

I'm living at Solstice Senior Living for over a month now, and it's good. It's a nice place to live, they're very accommodating to family get togethers, they have a lot of things going on, but I have not participated yet. They offer activities daily, they have field trips, like they went to a mine one day, and they go to Walmart, the Dollar store, or the bank. The staff is great. The room is fantastic, they clean it once a week, they do a very good job, diligent, and they care. However, there's not enough parking for the people in the west side of the building. The dining area is good, the chef has a very broad menu, but the spices are tone down for seniors. It's a little bit fancy for my taste.

Solstice Senior Living was very nice, and the person who showed us around was very welcoming. They even had a welcome sign for my dad and I. The area where they eat is bright and open, it felt really good, and it didn’t feel stuck up and dark. The hallway seemed brighter, the pictures hanging on the halls were nice, the apartments were nice, and it was cleaner than other places. They have really nice patios and balconies. They have a library, which is really good, and they have a van that will take people shopping a couple of times a week. The grounds were nice and residents have access to them. The rooms are adequate in size, but there’s not a full kitchen, only a microwave, a countertop, a little sink, and a refrigerator. You’re almost forced to eat downstairs in the dining area. The apartments were fine, they all have balconies, they were bright, and they all felt roomy

My mother moved into Solstice Senior Living at Sandy, and it was her choice. It's bigger, they have a manager suite, but they don't have kitchens, and it's not as modern. She plays Bingo, and the residents are friendlier. There were things I requested to be done that were not done before I came.

It is a great, clean, friendly, and very efficient place. It suits my mother-in-law's needs well. The staff is very pleasant and do a great job. They have good food. My mother-in-law enjoys several of the activities, like movies, reading, outings, bingo, and entertainment they bring in.

It was very good. The rooms were very nice. They had a lot of different things going on, like church services. They had a van that had a lift for my scooter. The staff was excellent. The residents were very friendly. The community was spread out and had a beautiful green area in the back with benches so you can go sit outside.

My mom loves it. She likes the social life, and the way they’ve structured the dining room and eating times. They serve their meals three times a day at a set time, so she’s there sitting with everybody at the same time. She likes the food. It tastes good, is nutritious, and the portions are not too large. She enjoys the activities. She plays bingo and cards and likes the entertainment there. The thing that made us choose South Towne Ranch was the actual room that was available. She has a studio apartment that she really likes. It was a handicapped room with a beautiful view of the mountains, and my mom fell in love with it. It works well for her because she is wheelchair bound and she can get around really well. The location was good becuase it had more property around it that she could be outside and explore, so that was a plus. I feel really confident and good about the place. I feel like she’s in good hands and is having a good time and making good friends.

It is a great place that's close to our house. The prices are great. They're wonderful with my mother-in-law. It has the greatest atmosphere and is more hotel-like than hospital-like. It is the best and the first place you should go and look at. Every time I go, I'm amazed at how clean it is and how happy and friendly everyone is. I went to a few others, but they were so depressing and hospital-like. This one was so outstanding and so different that we just had to go with it.

I liked it. I had another friend with me who was 90 years old, and she was so impressed and so wild about it. She was so glad to see that it was a fabulous option available. It was so beautifully decorated. The food, the menu, the dining rooms, and the whole atmosphere was wonderful so that the 90-year-old person woman just loved it. The staff went out of their way to show us around and answer all the questions.

We loved it. It was excellent, and the people were great. The rooms were very nice, and we really liked them, but they only had a kitchenette with a sink, microwave, and very small fridge; having a full kitchen was important to my mom. They had two huge bathrooms.

We visited. They didn't have as many activities as other places. The food was OK. They had one room that they were remodeling with a fridge and microwave, but no kitchen, so my mom wasn't interested. However, it was nice, open, and spacious. Everybody was accommodating and nice.

When I went here, they were having a picnic that day. I got to meet a lot of people, They had a lot of activities and plans for the people who lived there. They also had an exercise room. They had a room for movies and a room for games. They had a garden. They hosted things like when we were there it was like the fourth of July. They welcomed the residents’ families to participate. It was like a big party, and they had face painting for the kids and snow cones. It was really nice.

It was in the location mom wanted, and it met all her needs and criteria. She wanted to be close to where she used to live so friends and family could visit. They prepare the meals -- which I've been doing for 7 years for her -- and they also let her be independent. It was affordable for her, so she chose it; plus, they were very kind when we came in. We saw 2 rooms that were in her price range, and those were the studio and the 1-bedroom. They were clean, and they had a little kitchenette. They don't use laundry facilities because they offer that; she just has to walk a couple of doors out. The rooms were very light and happy, and that was important to her. The room she is in has plenty of windows. It has an outside door going to the outside of the facility and one door that?s goes through her room to the inside of the facility, and she likes that. She?s on the main level, but she doesn't have to go through the facility or have her guest come to the facility; they can go straight to her door. There's a beautician on site that she uses weekly, and there's a physical therapist that she uses. They have nursing if you want to sign up. Her nurse comes to her room twice a week, and that's through the facility as well. They have a nursing company that's there on the facility. They do lots of activities and games. They can take you on outings and shopping. They have a backyard that you can go walking in outside like a courtyard.

For our mom, we like it very much. We like that the facility itself had four different floors and each floor had a different feel to it. It was painted beautifully. Each floor had a community room and a room for crafting.

We were able to visit South Towne Ranch, and it was lovely. The staff was very helpful. We saw one model room, and it was very beautiful, open, and clean. It looked like it would be perfect for my parents. I was not able to taste the food, but the dining room was beautiful. It was clean and very inviting. We saw a menu, and it looked like there was food in between meals so that if someone is hungry, they can go and get food, cookies, or bread. With their activities, I know they have an exercise class. We went to the room and saw a signup sheet. They have excursions to different places, so it looked like they have good activities. Overall, it was just very pleasant. The people were friendly, and the facility was clean and orderly. The people that we met that lived there were very nice. If I were in charge, I would choose that place.

Everything went well with our move in, and it’s working out fine. We have a small apartment with a one-bedroom, living room, and also kitchen area but it doesn’t have a stove or anything. You eat all your meals at the dining room. We have a really nice view, there’s a bunch of trees plus a creek runs through. They’ve got a lot of activities for the people. The food is OK, but could be better. The staff is nice. You get more help here in going places and doing things.

Caring87035550

I liked it better because it's in a prettier area, with a lot more grass and grounds. There's more green space around it and it was nicer in terms of its location. What I don't like is the units don't have stoves in the kitchen, and there's no washer and dryer. The staff seemed fine. The dining area is fine, but the downside is that if you want to eat, you have to be there at a certain time. Then they come and serve everybody at the same time.

I saw part of the building, it's beautiful. This is a large place which is nice for moving around. They are also the friendliest, most wonderful and hospitable people. They have exercise and all kinds of event plans. They suggested that I visit them during a special event because they're happy to have extra people. However, they have a meal plan that I don't want.

We've been three times. They took us on tour the first time we went. The place was beautiful. I liked the landscaping. They had more trees and a lot of art in there. It's almost identical to the other facility we visited except for the color of the carpet. There were good-sized rooms. The residents were very nice. They seemed to be a little bit younger.

I went and they showed me the place, and it was nice. I have to bring my own stuff. The rooms are spacious and nice. It was expensive though and I'm looking more for apartments where you can take care of yourself and live in or out and you can buy your own food. That place is really nice and many have been living there for 10 or 15 years. They cook for you like in a restaurant or hotel. The people there are nice. I like that the place is quiet. They take care of you if you have appointments. I think they have a small gym and a pool, TV in the common room where you can talk to friends. I think they're okay with what they're doing for these people.
