Solera sits in the southern part of Chandler, Arizona, as a gated 55 and up community designed by Del Webb, with about 1,149 homes and 11 different floorplans ranging in size from 1,151 to 2,421 square feet, so folks can pick a two or three-bedroom home, sometimes with a den or even an extra garage if that's needed, and all houses have at least two bathrooms and either a two or three-car garage. The neighborhood centers around its clubhouse, which connects to The Grille at Lone Tree for meals and also serves as the entry to the Lone Tree Golf Course that runs throughout the community, and people can get out and enjoy the reflection pool, bocce ball and tennis courts, swimming, or take long strolls and bike rides on the neighborhood trails, while some homes have direct trail access if they're on smaller lots. The HOA allows block wall fencing in the backyard for privacy, and a 24-hour gate keeps the entrance secure.
Inside, residents can settle into furnished rooms with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, air conditioning, telephones, and Wi-Fi, and there's internet throughout the community for easy access. They've got a full service dining program with all-day and restaurant-style options, a professional chef, and meal plans that meet allergy-sensitive, diabetes, or other dietary needs. People take meals in a shared dining room, but there's also move-in coordination and meal preparation support, housekeeping, laundry and dry cleaning, and concierge and family support services to help keep daily life easier. The community hosts many activities, both resident-run and scheduled, in shared spaces like the movie theater, library, arts room, game room, and fitness and wellness rooms, so there's almost always something going on, whether it's fitness classes, dancing, ceramics, or shuffleboard. Folks also have outdoor programs, walking paths, and recreational trails close by, and they can go to nearby parks, cafes, pharmacies, physicians, restaurants, and theaters.
On the care side, Solera provides independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care options, so people can get help as their needs change. There's a 24-hour call system, plus staff ready to help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, grooming, medication management, and meal service. For those with special needs, there're amenities like bathroom conversions, wheelchair ramps, and walkers, along with vision care and respite care services for temporary stays if a caregiver needs relief. Memory care services are available for people with Alzheimer's and dementia, with special programs and secure spaces to keep them safe and engaged, plus emotional support to help everyone feel like they belong. Skilled nursing and rehabilitation services are also there for people who need round-the-clock medical care, wound care, or therapy. For end-of-life needs, Solera hosts funeral and celebration of life events on-site, offers cremation and cemetery services, and lets families pre-plan and pay for arrangements online, with personalized support for every step.
Solera aims to blend good care with a sense of community, so whether someone enjoys quiet time on the golf course or wants to stay active with social programs, there are choices. The focus stays on keeping people safe, supported, and comfortable, with spaces that bring folks together and services that change as needs do, making it a steady place for older adults in Chandler.
