Positive

I can only say that touring Solstice at Mesa View was extremely positive. It was the first place I toured in my search for care for my mother and it set the bar pretty high. [name removed] was invaluable as a source and offered comforting words for my next steps with momma. Unfortunately, my mother probably needs more care than an independent living situation and I feel she needs a place where she can "age in place" so I'm not moving her too often in her last years. Thank you.

Our family's experience of 2+ years with great staff and amenities

Overall experience is what we (mother, wife & I) believe. To start some of the CONS: Food & Dining is hit & miss, we know it's hard to prepare menus for a group that have diverse tastes and preferences. Weekly menus could detail main dishes instead of just a fancy name that leave them wondering what it really is. Quantity seems appropriate, yet delivery is sometimes slow. Hard for mom or others when it's serve yourself times. Repairs & maintenance can take longer than expected. But not very many we experienced

Comfortably friendly

The place is old. New remodel cannot erase age. Just one, tiny, very slow elevator. Dining room on top floor. Patience a must. Staff is caring and friendly. Residents same. Easygoing, comfortable atmosphere without a religious angle.

Mix of positive and negative

They just have one very old elevator. All the residents dis-satisfied with the single, ancient, rickety elevator. I do think that they could use way more gardens, particularly raised beds, to get those old geezers outside! I do absolutely love that they welcome dogs!

Happiness at Mesa View

I arrived at Mesa View summer of '22. I looked at a couple of places here in GJ but after touring here it was easy to decide to live here! [name removed] was so helpful as I moved in. The staff here are always so friendly! Leaving my home of 49 years was hard but Mesa View is great!
