Solstice Senior Living at East Amherst is managed by Integral Senior Living.

Integral Senior Living (ISL), founded in 2002 and headquartered in Carlsbad, California, has emerged as a leading third-party management company specializing in senior independent living, assisted living, memory care, and new development properties. Managing 58 communities across 15 states including California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma, Illinois, Tennessee, Alabama, Michigan, Missouri, and Florida, ISL ranks as the 20th largest senior living provider in the United States with annual revenues reaching $750 million.

In 2023, ISL entered a transformative partnership with Discovery Senior Living through an investment by Lee Equity Partners and Coastwood Senior Housing Partners, creating the nation's fifth-largest senior housing operator. This strategic alliance positioned ISL as Discovery's largest vertically integrated senior living operator, managing over 113 communities within the Discovery family of companies. Together, Discovery Senior Living has become the largest privately held operator in the U.S., with a portfolio of nearly 35,000 units across 350 communities in almost 40 states, supported by more than 17,000 employees.

ISL's care philosophy centers on fostering dignity and respect for residents while promoting their independence and individuality. Their person-centric approach is exemplified in programs like Generations Memory Care, where individuals are viewed as whole persons first rather than being defined by their conditions. The company delivers meaningful and vibrant life experiences through exceptional amenities, award-winning programs, chef-prepared meals, and expert care. This commitment extends to creating fulfilling work environments for associates, recognizing that employee satisfaction directly impacts resident care quality.

The company's excellence has earned significant recognition, including 19 communities being named among the Best Senior Living Communities for 2024. Under the leadership of President and CEO Collette Gray, who received the 2025 McKnight's Senior Living Women of Distinction Lifetime Achievement Award and was inducted into the McKnight's Women of Distinction Hall of Honor in 2023, ISL has maintained its position as an industry leader. The partnership with Discovery has proven transformative for operations, enhancing support services, improving employee retention through enhanced benefits, and allowing both companies to leverage best practices while maintaining their unique cultures and programs.
