So far so good

Mom had a tough adjustment initially but felt like they supported her well. I still feel like we're figuring it out. But [names removed] have all been great. Mom moved from her big house where she lived for almost 40 years, so of course she feels it's small. But so far seems like it's good for her to be around more people, seems safe, friendly, forgiving to her if she gets confused, etc.

Solista

I visited Solista before my brother moved in. I did a virtual tour of Solista first then an in person tour. The staff is absolutely amazing. They answered all of my questions. The entire facility was very clean while I took the tour and even after my brother moved in. We were shown all of the different areas with different things that were available for the resident to participate in as they have a monthly calendar with different activities for the residents. They have a restaurant still dining area where the residents can have their family come in and eat with them. The price for this is minimal. All you have to do is let the staff know. They are pet friendly. My brother is a Veteran. They have a community of Veterans which the facility will pair with another Veteran as the person while they are transitioning to the facility. Once the families decide to go with Solista then there is a sign welcoming the person who will be moving in to the facility. The cost of Solista is great too.

Grateful

As a caretaker for my husband of 33 yrs, I had to make a difficult decision to place him in a retirement community that met his unique needs. It was very difficult and, at times, overwhelming because there are so many issues to be considered. Having [name removed] hear my needs and concerns, provide comfort and much needed education was instrumental in me being able to find the best place for [name removed]. I'm eternally grateful!

Review for Solista Durham by Cogir Senior Living

My experience was very disappointing. While some staff members were kind and hardworking, there were significant concerns with consistency, cleanliness, food quality, and the overall environment. I also had concerns about whether the community was appropriate for all residents, as some appeared to need a higher level of care or supervision. There were also issues with resident behavior that made me increasingly uncomfortable and affected my quality of life. I ultimately decided to leave because the environment became too stressful and negatively affected my overall well-being. I also had concerns regarding a rent increase that occurred shortly after moving in, despite the agreement indicating that increases would occur at the anniversary date.

Not a bad idea for a place to live but it's definitely overpriced for me. My sister's budget was not even within limits, thus therefore, have to continue looking elsewhere.

We recently visited here looking for a place for me to move to, everyone was very friendly and helpful. The building was clean and nicely decorated and the apartments we toured were clean and seemed to be well maintained. I would recommend you check them out if you are interested in senior living.

After visiting other communities, we feel fortunate that your community currently has a room available on the first floor, located very close to the common areas. We think this would be very convenient for my mother-in-law. Its location would make it much easier for her to leave her room for short walks, participate in activities, and access the cafeteria. We believe this convenient setting would encourage her to remain active, engaged, and socially connected.

Bad: smell of urine down one corridor Y’all are ripping up carpet and putting down laminate so smell shouldn’t’ be a problem in future. Next, found one shower very dirty on end of shower door with hair stuck in in it, gross. Did not have chance to eat so no idea about that. Good: woman who showed us around. She was great. The apartments were nice as well- we got to see two of the 1 bed and 1 studio. We’d go for 1 bedroom. The occupational therapist was very nice and told us about things she/they can help with. We didn’t get to talk with other residents, unfortunately.

The staff was gracious friendly and informative. And the visit was pleasant, This facility is not one we would choose at this time because we do not need an independent, assisted, remain in place community at this time. Staff told us the community is in the process of replacing flooring and make other upgrades.

Overall a positive experience

[name removed] was extremely helpful and pleasant to work with. The facilities are clean and bright, and staff are nice and respectful. My brother has a small studio apartment which is perfect for him. He has been there almost a year and seems content. He says the food is good.

Review for Solista Durham by Cogir Senior Living

No updates. The food is still questionable. The staff is super friendly. They do seem to have a lot of turnover (lower staff--servers, housekeepers, etc), but it's probably par for the course. The core staff has not changed.

Why wait any longer!

My Mom has been there for 7 months and is settled in nicely! The only concern she has had is about her food choices and her room being cleaned. I understand she is 90 and doesn't eat what is popular today and there is always going to be turnover when people work for you. Every time I visit I find ever

Welcome to paradise

I have been quite satisfied with my stay. The lobby is bright and welcoming. The staff is amiable. And the facility is clean. The residents are in general very friendly. Occupational therapy is great, various activities and outings. The food is pedestrian but ok. There has been multiple people coming from the [community removed] to stay here. In all I give it high marks and recommendation without reservation.
