Solstice Senior Living at Santa Rosa operates as an independent-living community. Residents live in their own apartments and manage their daily schedules while having access to on-site medical oversight. Licensed staff coordinate medication support and can arrange physical, occupational, and speech therapy right on the property, reducing the need for outside appointments. Although the community is not a dedicated memory-care provider, the wellness team can cue or remind residents who have mild cognitive issues, making it possible for many to remain safely in an independent setting.
Safety and health monitoring round out the support structure. Each apartment is equipped with an emergency call and response system, and the building has smoke alarms and a full sprinkler system. Wellness staff perform daily room checks, verifying that residents are up and about. When a change in condition is noted, team members can step in with assistance for bathing, dressing, toileting, or eating, allowing residents to maintain independence while still getting help when necessary.
Apartments vary in size and layout, and not every unit includes every feature. Some floor plans offer kitchenettes, private patios or balconies, or wheelchair-accessible showers, while others may simply have standard bathrooms and living areas. Air conditioning, cable or satellite TV access, and high-speed Wi-Fi are available, and many residences are pet friendly. Common indoor spaces include a TV lounge, library, and billiards area, and there is resident parking for those who still drive. Outdoor common areas provide additional seating and walking space.
Meals are prepared three times a day and served restaurant-style in the main dining room, with staff able to accommodate special diets when ordered in advance. A private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings. Scheduled BBQs and picnic events give residents a change of scenery and an opportunity for socializing. Light snacks and beverages are available throughout the day, and feedback on menu preferences is gathered regularly to keep offerings aligned with resident tastes.
Residents can participate in a wide range of on-site and off-site programs, including arts and crafts, fitness classes, trivia games, yoga and chair yoga, Tai Chi, stretching classes, and Live Well programs. The community also hosts live music, dances, holiday parties, happy hours, birthday celebrations, and educational speaker series. A movie theater room, game room, and fitness center are open daily, and organized day trips, cooking club meetings, book club discussions, and community service outings fill the weekly calendar.
