Solaris 48* is a licensed residential care home that accepts residents with complex health profiles, including advanced dementia, wandering behaviors at any hour, behavioral challenges, wound care needs, oxygen therapy, special diets, and diabetes managed with oral medications. The community is also open to adults younger than 60 when appropriate. On-site podiatry visits help manage foot care, and the home is willing to work with outside psychiatric providers so residents with mental health diagnoses can remain in place.
The property maintains 24-hour staff coverage, background-checked employees, door alarms, a fenced rear area, and pull-cord alerts for added security. A night shift is on duty, though staff are allowed to sleep when residents are settled. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Mobility support ranges from simple standby help for walkers to two-person or Hoyer lift transfers for bed-bound residents, ensuring that changes in physical status do not automatically trigger a discharge.
Rooms may be private or shared; some include a private bathroom, basic furnishings, cable hookup, and the option to paint or decorate with the resident’s own items. Because layouts differ, prospective residents should verify which specific features are available in the room being offered.
Meals follow a set menu prepared in-house, with snacks available between scheduled dining times. The kitchen team can modify textures, portions, and ingredients to accommodate physician-ordered diets such as low sodium, diabetic, or other medically necessary restrictions.
Common areas are wheelchair accessible and include spots for visiting pets, a barber and beauty corner, internet access, communal gardens, and space for on-site religious services. Scheduled transportation helps residents reach appointments or local outings. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
