    Compassionate staff but management concerns

    I've had mixed experiences. The nurses and many caregivers were compassionate, knew residents, kept rooms clean, encouraged activities, and the food/rehab programs were good. But rooms are small, chronic understaffing and high turnover cause delays answering call lights and inconsistent care between shifts, and management/communication need major improvement - I've even heard worrying reports about resident safety. Proceed with caution.

    About Solon Nursing Care Center

    Solon Nursing Care Center sits in the community with a history of service that started back in 1972, and the place was built in 1973 by local people, so it's run by a volunteer board of directors and that sort of shapes how things get done. People find a mix of care options here, with independent living condos called Terrace Lane and Terrace Lane Glen if folks want to live on their own, assisted living in the Solon Assisted Living Village, and more hands-on help inside the main Solon Nursing Care Center. The center offers skilled nursing for round-the-clock needs, plus specialized support like memory care for people with dementia, palliative care for comfort, and wound or IV therapy for those who need it.

    The rooms give residents a variety of choices, though it's important to know some rooms are small and sometimes need extra equipment for comfort or medical care, but there's a home-like feeling that a lot of people appreciate. If someone likes sitting outside, there's a nice courtyard with chairs and outdoor spots for fresh air, and inside the building there're separate dining spaces and community areas for gathering or joining in on activities. Folks often go to music events, use the exercise equipment, or tend to the garden patio, so life stays active if you want it to be. There are weekly religious services on-site for anyone who wants to attend.

    Staff here work hard to treat residents with respect and kindness, keeping up regular meetings with families about how things are going, and paying a lot of attention to each resident's preferences, whether that's dietary needs or what kind of daily help they need. Nurses and aides help with medications, assistance with daily life needs, and provide long-term or short-term rehabilitation, and there's a big therapy rehab center on-site with physical, occupational, and speech therapy available, and people can get outpatient therapy too even if they live off-site. Long-term nursing care, skilled nursing rehabilitation, and specific support for wound care are available, and the staff pays close attention to preserving dignity and comfort. Dr. Scott Eberly serves as the facility's medical director.

    The campus runs on traditions that put people first, so there are programs and named services that stick to those roots, and being community-owned means decisions tend to have residents in mind rather than outsiders. There's free WiFi, which some folks like, and the whole place is certified for Medicare and Medicaid which helps with paying for care. Management has a lot of experience handling all sorts of needs, and the focus stays on helping folks feel as independent and safe as possible, for as long as possible, whether someone's in for a short rehab or living there long-term.
