Our Solstice has made considerable changes recently. We now have an efficient, caring staff. They each do their own jobs well, but they are always prepared to fill in somewhere else that they are needed, even to serving meals! There is constant action here for those who crave it, but no one is pressured to take part. We have an outstanding Physical Therapy staff. The grounds are lovely, with beautiful trees, walking paths and a pond crossed by a picturesque bridge. We have an energetic, creative head chef, good food and delightful young servers. Housekeeping, too!
