Solstice Bellingham has been a great fit for my mother

I would rate all of the categories as 5. My mother has settled in nicely and is happy with the facility. She especially likes the availability of outdoor spaces and a level , paved path so she can securely use her walker to take a walk independently. The place has a welcoming atmosphere when we visit. It was a good match for my mother. She is 97 with no major health concerns.

Our top choice

I searched in the area for a good community for my disabled sister. After visiting 7 communities, Solstice Bellingham stood out above all the other choices by a considerable margin. Not only did every staff member I met take pains to assure me that regardless of their title, they would help with any concern I or my sister had directly. The atmosphere was that of a family and residents were very welcoming and congenial. A real sense of community. I am completely confident that not only my sister will receive excellent care but that she will be happy here.

My loved one is currently a resident at Solstice Senior Living and everything has been very good to great for her at this facility so far. Overall, the facility is excellent. The housekeeping keeps everything very clean. The staff is excellent and very friendly. The residents are super friendly as well and seem like they are happy to be there. The care services seem to be very good, as does the food! The activities are great. All of these types of housing are very expensive, but this one at least seems like the better bang for the buck. I would recommend Solstice Senior Living at Bellingham to others.

Review for Solstice Senior Living at Bellingham

During COVID times were hard. It was tough to get staff for all needs, but since then there has been a management change and staff has increased. Some residents feel the monthly rent is too high, and I agree, but since it includes everything it is fair. The people are very friendly, there are activities you can take part in if you are interested, there is even a church service each Sunday. They try hard to meet the needs of all. We picked this community, because of all utilities, housekeeping, meals, and activities are included at no extra charge.

Not for my Mom

The college students were very friendly and willing to help.They need a new manager. The food is awful, not experienced in healthy senior diets. No activities offered for theduration, that my loved one was there. The tenants complain to the wall. They are not what they advertise or promise.

Would recommend this warm and caring community to your loved ones

What we really like about Solstice Senior Living is the staff, they are so warm, friendly and welcoming. Every time we come to visit the residents are always saying hi to one another and engaging in conversation. So far our loved one has had no complaints regarding the meals, she says they are good with a good variety. We have not paid to much attention to the activities as of yet but our loved one has participate in a few things. Based on our experience we would recommend this community to other families.

Would Recommend With Reservations

I think once they're fully staffed again, it will be a good place. The management and staff are really nice and helpful. They're accommodating and proactive, and they do what they can. The facility itself is really nice. But they have staffing shortages, just like everywhere does right now. So the services / amenities / activities they advertise are not fully in effect right now. They're short on housekeeping staff. They have been running out of food consistently and are subsequently making substitutions that they don't necessarily notify they residents about. It's not wonderful, but not horrible. Again, I think when they're back to full staff and are fully up and running again, things will be much better.

My Review

Solstice is my destinysays it all! The only exclusively independent living facility I think. Ambiance is prepossessing. Residents collegial and supportive. Staff and management professional efficient yet informal and friendly. Residents delighted having students as servers learning experience for them too. Management amendable to suggestions and into community action, though would like to see more. Facilities/services run in well oiled manner even in absence of Director. Numerous activities-vibrant. Food is ok not your mom's home cooking but accommodating.
