Solano Life House

We already have my father in a home at Solano Life House. It's a nice and clean place. The people are very nice. We like its location. The floors throughout the whole property are laminated, and his room is just a square room with a closet, and we provided the furniture.

Solano LifeHouse was the perfect place for my father. He has passed away, but I still have fond memories of his time there. The staff were really caring and friendly; and someone was always available when I needed to contact them. They always kept me informed of his activities and well-being. The facility was clean and well-maintained. It was just the right size--not just a small board & care home; but also not a huge, impersonal facility where no one has time for one-on-one interaction with residents or comunication with family. The rooms were nice and the bathrooms were spacious. Although my dad had dementia, he was ambulatory and very active. Therefore, the staff took him on walks or occasional visits to a golf course when possible. The price for care was very reasonable. The One Price For Life feature was invaluable, allowing us to set a care budget without unanticipated costs. I was very pleased with Solano Lifehouse and I've been telling everyone I know to consider this facility for their senior care needs.

The Solano Life House staff is welcoming, friendly and accommodating. My dad stayed there first, and then my mom years later. They were both well cared for with their safety, bathing, and medications. The rooms are large and there is a bathroom for each room. The meals are tasty and nutritious. The residents can choose to go on outings that are arranged by the staff. It was the perfect solution for us and we were fortunate to have Solano Life House so close to their home. We would choose Solano Life House again.

We got to tour Solano Life House. The building is not nice and the courtyard is terrible. When you go into the building itself, there's the main room, it wasn't a homey or comfortable feeling. They charge a little less than the other place I toured, but for the money, I was disappointed. I looked around the rooms, they seemed very sterile. We saw some of the clients there, they were playing a game and they all looked happy. The lady was knowledgeable and the staff looked friendly. I was just put off by how it looked.

My mom has been a resident for over a year. The staff is wonderful. The meals are well balanced and look tasty. There are two residents per room and from our experience, the staff finds compatible roommates. The rooms are a good size with a large bathroom. The residents spend most of their days in main room where meals are served and activities are enjoyed. There is a courtyard that is enjoyable to sit and enjoy the fresh air. There are activities that mom has enjoyed including going with a small group to get ice cream, lunch at a restaurant, walks around the neighborhood and mom was in the Solano Life House van in the May Fair Parade this year.

My wife has been in this facility for over a year now. When visiting we love to sit in the courtyard. Staff is very friendly. We appreciate that a dog visits a couple times a week and it is a delight for residents. We made the right choice.

When you go into Solano Life House, each person has to be let into the facility, so you can't just walk in and out of there anytime. That gave me a little bit of confidence that my mother couldn't just walk out unassisted from there (which she would tend to do.). We went to the memory care and they did the protocols for COVID to let me enter the facility. I wore a mask the whole time. The place looked well maintained and clean. Mary was very helpful in answering my questions. She guided me through the entire facility all the way around, through the gates, into the courtyard, and so on. She showed me a room that they have set up just for tours, which is a sample of what a person would be living in, explained it, showed me the bathroom, and gave me some recommendations. It's just a little bit older facility and it looked to me more like a hospital than an apartment complex. Their rooms were also shared (which would be hard for my mom).

My mother is in Solano Life House for memory care. It's a very family-like atmosphere. They keep the residents engaged. They're very friendly and very loving. They make sure that she has all of her medications. Her room has a bed, a nightstand, and a chair. It's a typical, dorm room type. The staff is very caring. They have a courtyard garden area. The upkeep and maintenance are really good, so everything is very clean. They have a maintenance person onsite that takes care of all maintenance needs. You get what you pay for. The amount you pay when you move in is the amount that you pay every month for life. The food is a hit or miss. There are some meals that she likes and some meals that she doesn't, but they'll give her an alternate meal if she doesn't like the one that they have.

The staff is the best! Mom’s overall care, her meals and the facility’s cleanliness is what impresses me about the most. We always feel welcomed when visiting mom, and the staff is always accommodating to our requests. There is a nice outdoor area to sit with mom when the sun is out. Again, the staff members are commended for all that they do for the residents. Thank you!

I recently placed my mother at Solano Life House. The staff is incredible and responds every time I send a message or have a question. This is a very stressful time and I am so thankful that I chose Solano Life House. The rooms are completely remodeled and beautiful, the front area is so open and my mother has made several friends that she visits with every day. I am able to bring her dinner and visit with her, even with COVID, in their beautiful patio area.

The Solano Life House visit was very successful. I saw the room where my husband would've lived, and I looked in a window to see the activity area where they had meals and where activities took place. They let me use the toilet, so I was inside the facility, and in their garden. They do a terrific job at a great price. He would've had to share a room. There was no bathroom, but there was a toilet down the hall. It's well run, very well done, bigger, and institutional. It didn't feel like a home, but I was very impressed. It's by far the least expensive, and they guarantee the same price for life. What you pay when you start is what you pay the rest of the time the resident is there. In terms of what they offer, I would give it a perfect rating.

My mother has been at Solano Life House for almost 2 years after a bad fall. The staff has been wonderful to my mom, who also suffers from dementia. They truly care about each and every one of the residents, creating a warm family atmosphere. The staff understands the individual needs of the residents whether it be emotional or physical and takes the time to offer individual comfort and encouragement. It’s a difficult decision to move a loved one to a care facility, however we feel SLH was a good choice and still do.
