In addition to rehabilitation and extended care, third-party facility profiles list skilled nursing, long-term care, memory care, geriatric care, hospice, and palliative services. Those profiles name these care categories but provide limited information about how they are arranged or delivered. A third-party listing reports a capacity of 120 beds and describes studio room layouts as a resident option. It does not provide further details about the layouts.

Third-party amenity information includes an art room, activities, telephone access, therapists, and rehabilitation services. Another listing notes outdoor areas, without describing their features. The available sources do not detail an activity schedule, room furnishings, or on-site dining, so those aspects of daily life are not specified here. The facility’s official page identifies it as affiliated with the Solaris Foundation, which it describes as a nonprofit organization.

We were very impressed with the facility and the office personnel. I have heard nothing but great experiences with Solaris.

Solaris and staff - Rebecca nurse on the LTC side and Kaisha have been AMAZING !!!! Ashley with Vitas Hospice couldn’t have been any better ! Jerritt and Janice and Alicia in case management, and Ashton in admissions and Brittany the DON , ALL AMAZING !!!!! You guys are truly the BEST ! You treated my mom and us like family and gave her the absolute best care ! Thank you so so much ! You guys are the standard every LTC facility should follow ! God bless each and every one of you guys !

I cannot say enough about the staff and the cleanliness of the facility. I had to place my grandparents together at the same time and they accommodated us so well. Everyone was so helpful and welcoming. Any request we had was immediately addressed. The staff (nursing, cnas, janitorial, admin and therapies)are phenomenal. They have been a step ahead of us any time we had a need/question/concern. We have had not one issue at all and I feel strongly that speaks volumes. The team works together to address all care and it has been so nice having everyone on the same page. My grandparents have been…

I cannot say enough about the staff and the cleanliness of the facility. I had to place my grandparents together at the same time and they accommodated us so well. Everyone was so helpful and welcoming. Any request we had was immediately addressed. The staff (nursing, cnas, janitorial, admin and therapies)are phenomenal. They have been a step ahead of us any time we had a need/question/concern. We have had not one issue at all and I feel strongly that speaks volumes. The team works together to address all care and it has been so nice having everyone on the same page. My grandparents have been receieving hourly rounding and care at minimal. The staff have been nothing but patient with the never ending phone calls, check ins and requests. I highly recommend!!!!!

Solaris has provided the best care possible for my mother. The CNAs, Nurses, Therapists and Administrate Staff have all been great. Solaris staff have made the entire family feel at ease and welcome.

I would like to mention one exceptional young lady who is my ge-to professional, Alisha Howard. When she helped me to understand all the detail of insurances,Corporation in the medical field I knew I was at the right place for me. I am now entering my 8th year here and it is where I belong in my 87th year. Alisha has gone to bat for me at what could have been frightening mistakes in insurance. This place is filled with wonderful people on staff. Two wonderful nurses are Neal Ratliff and Merida Stephen’s. Both exceptional, professional and kind nurses. They work because they love it and we love all three. Geraldine, Jerri Lee.

Solaris far surpassed our expectations in taking care of my father-in-law. The support and dedication they showed from start to finish were truly invaluable.

Very friendly and welcoming

I am very happy to have my daughter at Solaris. My first visit lifted my spirits. Decor, cleanliness & welcoming attitudes of the Solaris Team was a breath of fresh air. Your Business Manager, Lisa M. took the time, a number of times to help me with Medicaid/Medicare paperwork. She is very knowledgeable, friendly & very caring. I appreciate her so much!
