[name removed] was amazing, so friendly and kind. The residents were all smiles and so friendly. It reminded me of the old neighborhoods, were everyone looked out for one another. It's a wonderful place giving seniors back their independence. I can't say enough great things.

Solstice at Joliet

Seem busy at times and delay things because of it. Or make you seem like your normal request is not important. But most times they are kind and willing to talk about it.

Enjoyable and independent

My mom is happy. This is a good fit for her. We live in the area, and it was somewhat affordable. I would recommend to others. My mom uses a walker along with most residents, that helps her confidence. Activities daily, meals are also part of the rent. Clean and nice.

Warm and inviting

I would rate them all at five. We have been extremely happy with Solstice. The staff has gone above and beyond to accommodate my mom. The residents that live there are extremely welcoming and friendly, they have a lot of great activities for my mom to participate in, their pricing was the most reasonable of all the places we looked at, the atmosphere of the entire place is warm, inviting, and vibrant.

Review for Solstice at Joliet

The place is very nice and well kept, but the housekeeping for the individual rooms is terrible - they never sweep or mop the floors.

Everything was seamless at Solstice from securing a room assignment to signing the lease and moving in. The staff is very caring, compassionate, and accommodating. My friend adjusted quite well and is happy to call Solstice home. Best decision she made!
