Atterdag Village of Solvang

Meagan

Atterdag Village of Solvang is located next to the most charming town in California, so the location is wonderful. It has a very relaxed, easygoing vibe, and it feels like a home. The room was one of the nicest among those we've seen. It has a lot of things, like a warm therapy pool, we've observed exercise classes, the dining room was very nice, and the menus looked good. It just has more of a feeling of a community. There's a lot of space outdoors, the grounds have a Bocce Ball court, and they're still doing a lot of activities. They have busses that take you into town. So overall, I'd say we probably liked that one the best. The person who gave the tour was very kind, informative, knowledgeable, and spent quite a bit of time with us. We actually toured it twice. Tough, because there are a couple of things I'd like to change.

I have chosen Atterdag Village of Solvang for my husband. It is five minutes from my house, so I felt that was an asset. They were helpful. They are starting up a daycare program, which will take some of the burden off of me until the room is available to him. I haven't talked to my husband, so one of the nice things is they said that they would come to my house and help me talk to him. They have a one-bedroom, which is nice. It seems satisfactory to me. it's a continuing care community. The facility is very well maintained. They have an indoor pool. It is just a nice environment. They have been very nice. I've had some problems, and they helped me solve them (like opening up their daycare program). It's Monday through Friday from 9:00 in the morning till 5:00 at night. I spoke directly to the administrator, and it sounded like they had lots of activities. They had a daycare program, but they had to shut it down, of course during COVID. My husband is going to be in a memory care unit, but I have some good friends that live in the independent living quarters. They are very nice. They keep them pretty busy. They go on outings. Even the memory care people I know go on outings. They don't let them off the bus, but they take them for drives and touring the beauty of Solvang area. They're very nice. You furnish them the way you want in the independent living, which is nice. They take wonderful care of my friend, who has been there for a couple of years. I felt that with the Covid, they just took fabulous care of them. There were no cases of Covid. My friend said the food is good. They used to go down to L.A. for concerts, Broadway shows, and stuff like that. I would go with them on a bus. They had buses, and it was great. I was allowed to go if they had extra room, and that worked out great. They have a physical fitness center and a swimming pool. They do tai chi and things like that. It seems pretty well served.

I toured Atterdag Village of Solvang, and it was really nice. The person who gave me the tour was really informative. The facility looked fine. It was just kind of expensive. The rooms were clean and kind of small. They offered three meals a day, they have an aquatic center, a fitness center, different classes, and a lot of stuff. There were some places we couldn't go because of COVID, but we got to go see the apartments.

My mom lived on her own for 7 years and then spent 2 years in the Care Facility. She was treated like a Queen! All the staff looked out for her and she was treated with care and respect. Plus the staff always alerted me and kept me in the loop at all times.

I visited Aterdag and it's great. It's a nice place, and I liked the continuum of care. They have bus rides to places, they have cute little homes, nice little apartments, and a lot of the residents have use of a balcony.

I looked at Atterdag Village of Solvang. I would give it a C because the recreation room was very small and didn't have room for movement. The dining room was not at all appealing since they had plastic tables without tablecloths. The food was OK, though.
