I went to see this building for seniors with home care, and it looks like a nice place. I would like to have one bedroom and kitchen room. I think it is too far from town. Maybe I will call someday.

Solstice feels like home

Our experience with the community has been very positive. We chose Solstice because they served an Indian dinner! We would definitely recommend, as staff has been kind and compassionate. [name removed] and [name removed] have been very attentive and take special care to accommodate our family member, treating him with dignity.

Solstice at Point Defiance has a beautiful campus, great staff, and a wonderful, warm, welcoming community. I was surprised that it didn't have a true assisted living component or memory care, but that's on me for not checking more thoroughly before I toured. If we didn't have those needs, we'd be happy to call Solstice home!

The grounds are beautiful. The apartments are old. The dining room is sunken. The staff seemed nice. 20 residents moved out because the elevator was out of commission for a couple of months. I’ve decided not to move there
