Solera Senior Living

They have friendly people and staff. They are caring - I was in the hospital twice and I was told I was missed. I would recommend this community to others.

We were very impressed with our visit to Artisan as we considered independent living and memory care for my parents. The community was well integrated among the stages of care. We were most impressed with the memory care program and how the neighborhood was purposefully designed using Teepa Snow’s approach to care for those with dementia. The facility was designed for social engagement and activity and was lively with residence. The team of staff were friendly, attentive and knowledgeable, and showed respect and care to every resident in the community we saw that day. I would recommend visiting for those looking for warm and inviting “next home”.

I visited a friend in her modern and well arranged apartment. There were several windows and the natural light added to the setting. I found the numerous Common areas were inviting as well and people were taking advantage. The Dining area was well maintained, with friendly service and the food was very good. Staff was helpful and my friend has been enjoying her stay. She’s joined a few of the extra curricular activities as well. I would gladly stay at the Artisan when that time comes.

[name removed] is always there to help with a smile on her face. You can tell she enjoys helping the residents. We all appreciate [name removed], Christmas is coming and she deserves and has earned a special bonus.

[name removed] is an outstanding life enrichment assistant. She bring a very warm and personal touch to her work and spends extra time making sure my very shy sister is included in activities. She has made a tremulous difference in [name removed] life try helping make her feel important and included. She has aa rare talent that brighten every day for everyone.

My mom is there for a temporary (we hope) 30 day stay. She’s been at a couple other facilities before this for 20-30 stays and couldn’t stand them. But 20 days into Artisan at Hudson and she couldn’t be happier. She’s treated well by all the staff, and feels like family. They’ve been very attentive to her needs, including dietary restrictions (as best as can be managed). If she needs more than 30 days, no doubt this is where she will be!

I really enjoyed the tour at Artisan. [name removed] was extremely knowledgeable and friendly as other staff members I spoke to. The community is very clean and well designed. The residents were very happy. I would recommend it to anyone.

I recently visited my mother after her move into Artisan and enjoyed seeing her happy, comfortable, and thriving! Especially after moving from an uncomfortable rehab situation, we were hesitant however she immediately felt at home and is enjoying the activities and accommodations. This was a great reassurance that we made the right decision trusting Artisan!

[name removed] and her team were outstanding to work with. [name removed] is super responsive, supportive and helpful. We were very impressed with the memory care programming. The community was lovely and very well kept up!

The people are lovely and the food is good. Lots of activities are available and the rail trail is very nice.

My partner and I started visiting Lumina to teach a yoga class with my therapy dog, as a way to give back to a population that is near and dear to our hearts. [name removed] welcomed us with open arms. We love seeing the residents and making them smile. Storm always gets lots of pets and snuggles, so her review would also be awesome. Thank you for taking such good care of the residents and letting us share a little bit of love with them.

Non complaint

This is the most vibrant memory care facility I have been in. All the staff are on point, super friendly, and welcoming. The activity schedule is full of fun things to do. Both my mom and my father have lived in Care homes, and the activities at both their homes don't compare to the ones they have at Lumina. I highly recommend this place because they want your loved one to be engaged and enjoy life in their final stages.

Everyone here is friendly and the food is good. You can spend time by yourself or play games with other residents. There are movies to watch in the theater and trips to go on together. You can also enjoy walking around the garden. The housekeeping staff is wonderful. They change my sheets and keep the floor clean.

I love it here. It's clean quiet, and I feel protected and safe. The physical therapy is wonderful. It helps keep me active each day. The people in the the community are so nice.

I'm really impressed with Willows at Raleigh. It's a wonderful place. I especially appreciate the driver, who always take the time ask how I'm doing. The people here are 99% very nice and if someone isn't, they don't bother you. I enjoy having conversations with others and it feels like a friendly community maintenance help without asking. When moving I've noticed my furniture was placed inside of my apartment. The food is great. Love getting items off the room.

My wife's battle with Alzheimer's lasted approximately five years. For approximately four of the five years she suffered with aphasia making it very difficult to communicate with her. We were extremely blessed to be able to have her become a resident at Village crossing the last year and a half of her life. The best way to have her interact with the staff was through her smile. A facility like village crossing is only as functional as the staff. The staff is tremendous and sincere. They are considered like family with their Christmas card on my refrigerate. The staff gave my wife the opportunity to live the last several months of her life with dignity and respect as a lifelong educator. I am sure my wife considered them angels helping her manger a very difficult situation. The staff's live for her went above and beyond their job duties. I have been advocating and will continue to advocate Village Crossing because of the deep connection between the resident and the stuff. They truly live the job they do and we are very apperceive that my wife has a chance to experience their first class caregiving. She was smiling until her passing which we express our deepest gratitude.

The staff is always here to help. There's always something to do each day. The food is good and plentiful. I would recommend Hunters Woods at Trails Edge to others who are currently searching for a community.

I can’t start this review without noting how helpful “A Place for Mom” was for my family. We wanted to find a place where our once independent family member, who had lost a spouse a year prior, would find more social engagement and activity. This family member was always active, but losing her life partner unexpectedly was a devastating change that affected all aspects of her once active, fulfilling, and busy social life. [name removed]from A Place for Mom spoke at length with me on the phone, asked what I was looking for and the towns I was interested in, and I immediately focused on the Artisan. There was another contender that I intended to investigate, but after stopping into the Artisan on whim as I drove past, I knew immediately it was “the one.” Despite just wanting fliers and more information, I was immediately introduced to [name removed], who was very warm and welcoming. There was zero pressure from her, only sincere, helpful suggestions on how I might proceed. She was instrumental in making me feel less intimidated and scared about the big change of life on the horizon. She had many suggestions that helped us significantly --from how to approach the move with my family member (who was resistant because change is hard) to expectations for the first several days/month/year, to simply letting me know we would be in a partnership to make the move as easy as possible. I scheduled a tour with the family, and the Artisan was extremely accommodating as there were 5 of us. It was a laid back, friendly hour+ where we learned about the activities and offerings, were shown the common areas, and toured many apartments. We ended with dinner, which the Artisan paid for, and it was phenomenal. It is important to note that they do not have cooks, they have CHEFS. The food is outstanding and is part of the monthly fee. We moved my family member into her apartment in June of last year. There was definitely an adjustment, but the Artisan truly stepped up when she was struggling despite her independent living location. They would go to her door to get her for activities so she didn't feel intimidated by going down alone. This is just a minor example of how much they care and how important it is to them that their residents are happy where they live. The staff--from waitstaff to those who work the desk to those who run the activities--are equally as impressive. [name removed] runs the Artisan with the mantra, "You do not work where they live, they live where you work." It is imperative to him that everyone feel comfortable and that there is a sense of home. The people who work there genuinely like what they do and the residents they work with. You can feel the positive energy when you walk through the door because the Artisan is a happy place. [name removed], who works the desk, gives me the best hug every time I see her and truly looks out for my family member. She loves what she does and it shows. There is a vast offering of activities, which was important to us as my family member’s memory was failing due to lack of interaction. While she definitely doesn't take advantage of most of them, she is a regular at daily happy hour, dinner, Bingo, concerts, and movie night. She also loves to sit on the front porch on hot days and to eat on the patio when it’s warm. Another perk to the Artisan is that there is no assigned seating for meals and the waitstaff, who are extremely attentive and kind, do not accept tips no matter how hard you try. So while it has that restaurant feel, it’s still very much like eating at home. We are fortunate that my family member can afford the price of the Artisan but truly feel we are getting what we pay for. We also appreciate that they offer both assisted living and memory care on site, in case either are ever needed. It is an upscale, beautiful facility that is a far cry from the “nursing homes” of the past. This is an active community where residents can be as engaged as they choose to be, with on site daily activities and several monthly field trips. It is a place I could see myself living someday, and that is the best compliment I could give it. My once-resistant family member recently had an appointment with her doctor where she admitted, with another family member present to hear, that she loves living at the Artisan. This family member who had never spent a night without a companion present, who had checked out of life because her best friend was gone, is now living independently and flourishing again. We credit this to the Artisan.

My Mom, at 96, is very happy there. Very modern, bright, and well decorated. Facility as has many "independent" living tenants so there is an excellent mix of lifestyles. Local police, fire, and hospital respond very quickly to any urgent care need.
