We rated facility and he has adjusted well. My brother is happy and satisfied with Solstice on East El Paso location. He is in his own 1 bedroom , private bathroom, kitchen area, and living area apartment with weekly room cleaning, and 3 daily meals in large common dining area. He enjoys with fellow residents, has access to hair stylist for haircut by appointment , and participates in group activities he chooses to attend, and staff is available to assist him for any questions or requests, like maintainence .

My father in law just moved in, and he couldn’t be happier! We loved the place from the moment we toured the facility.

A place that cares

Each and every staff member was very helpful and you could tell their goal is to help each and every resident. My uncle had a one room studio and it was the perfect size for his needs. Everything he needed was provided. The facility even made accommodations for him for any special needs he had
