Feels Like Home
From the moment we first walked in the door, we were warmly greeted by staff and residents alike. The place instantly felt like home, it is the right size where it felt like a home rather than an institution. [name removed] has interesting, diverse and fun activities for the residents, the food is very good, and the staff are all caring. The apartments are nicely sized and have good natural light. My mom has been happy settling in there and even has her cat and small dog with her, which makes it more like home for her too.

Make sure you're comfortable with not having someone there 24/7.
They do not have many staff there on evenings or weekends. Depending on the person, this might not be important.
I think it would be nice if they could add a deadbolt lock on the doors that go to the patio (at least on the ground floor apartments).
More choices on the food menu would be good.

Tour Review
Our family had an in-person tour with Solstice Senior Living and with everything we saw on the tour and everyone we were able to speak with, we thought it was a great tour experience - we ended up picking a community that was closer in proximity for our family.

Solstice needed some updating and they were in the process of doing that. Location ended up being the decider for my loved one. Also, having a balcony or patio was important to her.

A welcoming community
Solstice has been great and done exactly what we have asked of them. Everything is going just fine, they do a really nice job keeping the community very clean. The staff members have been very friendly. It is a very welcoming community that gives somebody who is in need of first level assistance, and based on our experience so far we would recommend them to other families.

I Made the Right Decision
The community gave me free range to decorate and make it feel like my own. The location is good and close to shopping centers nearby. It is easy to get to, and close to the Catholic Church.
There are only about 150 people. They have good rules and regulations. I've been talking to people who have been here for 5-9 years. We all feel like home. Everyone is so friendly.
The only complaint is I felt they didn't have enough storage. There is no stove in the apartments. I would highly recommend this community to others. It is quiet and in a safe location.

Overall we love the community, the community is privately owned and their are no restrictions when it comes to covid. We can come visit our loved one and take her out everyday if we want to. The food is excellent, everybody is very caring and cheerful, and they also allow you to bring your pets with you.

Friendly staff members
We chose Solstice Senior Living because of the friendliness of the staff members that we interacted with, they were helpful and willing to answer all times of questions. They also made the best arrangements they could with covid and made me feel safe being there. They are very careful with covid, I do feel like she is well taken care of. Her room sizes here is great for her needs. Overall, I am pleased and would recommend this facility.

Solstice is very nice, but the apartments don't have any type of kitchen at all to speak of. They have a lot of activities. The food was decent. More pricey than Legacy at Erie Station, but still $1500 a month less than the Landing of Brighton.

Exceptionally helpful caring Community Contact
I was looking for a short term post-Rehab type of a place for my senior friend after she broke her leg. Have contacted about 2 dozen apartments and independent senior living communities in Rochester.
[Name removed], Community Contact at Solstice Senior Living at Fairport, was exceptionally caring, helpful and responsive! He was willing to accommodate our need for the furnished unit, the urgent placement, he was following up with me daily, even through the holiday weekend, to assure that my friend has a place to stay and that her needs are met.
I am out of town, attempting to help my friend long distance that made it especially difficult and stressful for us both. My interaction with [name removed] immediately brought a peace of mind to us that my friend would have a good, caring place to recover. Highly recommend contacting [name removed] for any senior living needs. Thank You very much [name removed] for Your time, help and for your exceptionally friendly caring way of dealing with us!
