Solaris Healthcare Lake City operates as a skilled nursing facility, delivering 24-hour licensed nursing coverage for residents who need ongoing medical oversight. The staff includes registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants who manage medication administration, wound care, IV therapies, tracheostomy care, and post-surgical recovery protocols. Physical, occupational, and speech therapists work on-site to build individualized rehabilitation plans aimed at improving mobility, strength, and communication skills. The facility also maintains close relationships with physicians, pharmacists, and diagnostic labs to ensure residents receive timely assessments and adjustments to their care plans.
Beyond direct nursing and therapy services, the center provides case management and discharge planning, helping residents and families navigate insurance requirements, follow-up appointments, and equipment needs. Social workers coordinate with hospice agencies for end-of-life comfort care when needed, and short-term respite stays are available for caregivers seeking temporary relief. Transportation arrangements can be made for off-site dialysis, specialist visits, or outpatient procedures. An in-house activities team organizes cognitively stimulating and therapeutic programs that align with each resident’s care goals, and registered dietitians monitor nutritional status to support recovery and chronic-condition management.
Accommodations include a selection of private and shared rooms equipped with hospital-grade adjustable beds, individual climate controls in some rooms, and accessible bathrooms with grab bars and emergency pull cords. Cable television, Wi-Fi, housekeeping, and personal laundry service are standard offerings, while mini-refrigerators or visitor seating areas are available in certain units. Not all accommodations have all the features, so prospective residents should confirm the specifics during a tour. Small pets may be accepted under community guidelines; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
Residents receive three structured meals each day in a communal dining room, with menus designed by registered dietitians to accommodate cardiac, diabetic, renal, and texture-modified diets. Staff can provide feeding assistance, and tray service to the room is an option for those recovering from illness or therapy sessions. Snacks and hydration stations are accessible between meals, and families can request nutrition consultations for residents with complex dietary restrictions. Menu cycles are reviewed regularly to ensure compliance with clinical guidelines and resident feedback.
