Solista Colorado Springs sits in Northeast Colorado Springs near parks like Sunset Mesa Open Space and Keystone Park, and you'll find it's a senior living community that offers independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care, with a focus on letting older folks enjoy life while having the right amount of support. The building has studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, each giving you space, privacy, and features like private bathrooms, walk-in closets, kitchenettes, and patios or balconies, so you can be comfortable and call it home. The grounds around the building have gardens, walkways, and green courtyards, which are good for taking a stroll or sitting outside when the weather's pleasant, and there's a covered porte-cochère if you ever need a protected spot to get dropped off or picked up.
The community's pet-friendly, so residents can bring their pets. There are hotel-like amenities, which means residents have housekeeping, laundry, beauty salon, fitness center, on-site dining, a library, a computer room, and event spaces for activities or hobbies, and all the indoor areas have ramps and elevators so people who use wheelchairs or walkers can get around easily. Safety is covered with things like a 24-hour call system, on-site staff round the clock, and handrails in bathrooms so folks can move around confidently. Transportation services help people get to medical appointments, shopping, and outings, and there's guest parking for visitors.
Meals come from a kitchen serving chef-prepared food with seasonal choices, and they'll try to meet dietary needs, with seating in a lively dining room or smaller, private spaces if you want something quieter. There are social and recreational programs like game rooms, happy hours, music, outings, fitness options like Forever Fit classes, and special activities such as Memories in Motion or Starlight Shows, which help keep folks connected and engaged. Those who enjoy books or quiet spaces can use the library or spend time in warm sitting areas, while folks who'd rather keep active might join clubs or go to fitness classes.
Staff are always on site, including live-in managers, and there's support for residents needing help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and managing medicines, plus skilled nursing for those who need it and memory care for people living with Alzheimer's or other dementia. The community has resources for care planning, veteran's benefits, and other tools to help families navigate funding and support. Outdoor areas sometimes feature American flags and tidy landscaping, and the atmosphere is meant to help people make friends and feel included.
The property is managed by Cogir Senior Living and is part of the Holiday Retirement group, which has a history since 1971. The neighborhood has easy access to the Colorado Springs Country Club, Chapel Hills Mall, Memorial Hospital, and the mountain views of Pike National Forest. There are always activities and programs meant to keep everyone involved, from outings to birthday celebrations. The whole place feels warm and welcoming-with comfortable furniture, friendly staff, and a sense that people look out for each other.
