Solista Durham sits on a 150-acre nature preserve with plenty of ponds and hiking trails, so residents can enjoy quiet walks and spend time in a peaceful setting, and there's plenty of natural beauty right outside the doors, which is nice for those who like to sit outside or take a stroll. The community offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and is also a Continuing Care Retirement Community, so seniors can get different levels of care if their needs change. The independent living apartments and suites come in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts-each has bright open spaces, patios or balconies, modern kitchenettes with stainless steel refrigerators and granite counters, and some bathrooms even have walk-in tubs and grab bars for safety. There are both private and shared spaces, such as bedrooms with comfortable beds and the living rooms have TV and seating, with some opening to a private patio with glass doors, so it feels a bit like home.
Meals are served in an elegant dining hall with chef-prepared dishes and several menu choices, and there's also a cozy bistro for coffee and light bites, which makes it easy to sit and chat with friends during the day. Housekeeping, linen service, and building maintenance come weekly, and scheduled transportation helps folks get to doctor's appointments, shopping, or local cultural spots. There's a fitness center with equipment for strength and cardio, exercise programs like Forever Fit, a salon and barbershop for grooming, and a vegetable and herb garden where residents and their families can spend time together on nice days. People who like activities will find craft rooms, a media room, game and refreshment areas, a movie theater, and a library; plus, there's a busy calendar of community events, line dancing, and even saxophone performances, along with Memories in Motion activities and music sessions to boost energy and mood. Staff offer help with daily needs in the assisted living area, and there are safe spaces and programs for memory care, with amenities made to support adults living with Alzheimer's or dementia. Nursing care and rehabilitation services are available, too.
The building is three stories, has covered parking, secure entryways, and pet-friendly policies, so residents can keep their companion animals close. The grounds include serene gardens and shared community spaces, while indoor common areas, like the large lobby, are made for gathering and connecting, and there are always opportunities for volunteering or joining group activities. Solista Durham uses the Lively Mobile Plus device for emergency response and safety. The community's staff handle things with kindness and are committed to helping seniors live with freedom and dignity, and with all the scheduled wellness checks, walking paths, and group programs, seniors can stay healthy and connected. With a setting built to be both homey and welcoming, Solista Durham offers a lot of choices and supports seniors who want to live as actively and independently as possible, while knowing there's help on hand whenever it's needed.
