Residents and their families say:

The community of Solstice Senior Living at Guilford garners notable praise for its beautiful and clean facilities, welcoming atmosphere, and excellent staff. Reviewers consistently highlight the exceptional cleanliness of the premises, the variety of available activities such as bocce ball, movies, card games, and painting, and the quality and variety of food options provided. The community offers a range of apartment sizes, from small one-bedrooms to larger two-bedroom options, catering to different needs and preferences, alongside amenities like housekeeping, laundry services, and included utilities which enhance the living experience.

However, there are a few points of contention among some reviewers. A notable concern is the staffing level in food service, which reportedly leads to long waits during meals, despite the high quality of the food offered. Additionally, several comments refer to the need for updates or renovations in certain areas, with mentions of old and worn carpets and the need for modernizing some apartment fixtures. While these critiques are present, they are outweighed by the multitude of positive feedback about the community's atmosphere, the staff's helpfulness and professionalism, and the overall satisfaction of residents and their families with the services and care provided.
