Solstice Senior Living at Joliet offers Independent Living with a clinical framework that supports a range of health needs. The community can coordinate oxygen therapy and accepts residents younger than 60 when appropriate. Diabetes care covers the full spectrum: residents on oral medications, insulin injections, or sliding-scale regimens can be accommodated. Staff members are also trained to work with individuals who have moderate dementia, ensuring continuity of care without moving to a higher-acuity setting.

To back these medical services, every employee passes a background check, and an activity director coordinates daily programming. A pull-cord system links apartments to the care team for rapid response. On-site podiatry visits reduce the need for outside appointments. For activities of daily living, staff provide standby supervision with bathing, dressing, and meals, along with some physical help during toileting. Transfers are supported whether a resident uses a walker, wheelchair, or simply needs one- or two-person assistance.

Apartments are designed for autonomy, featuring options such as kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, and cable hookups; not every unit includes every feature, so asking about specific floor plans is recommended. Weekly housekeeping is included for Independent Living residents, keeping spaces clean without intruding on privacy.

Dining is structured around three chef-prepared meals served restaurant style, making it easy for residents to socialize while maintaining a balanced diet. Snacks are available throughout the day for those who prefer flexible eating times or need between-meal calories.

Residents gain access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an exercise room, a wellness center, high-speed internet, communal gardens, and regular religious services. Additional conveniences include a library, balconies on select units, a laundry room, and staff-handled linen and towel service. Scheduled transportation helps with local errands and medical appointments. Smoking is permitted in designated outdoor areas, and pets are welcome; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
