The Solberg Family Home is a distinctive assisted living residence set amidst 60 acres of beautiful oak and pine woodland, providing a peaceful, secluded environment while still offering the convenience of being just a short distance from the nearby town of Manistee. The setting is enhanced by walking and golf cart trails that meander through the property, inviting residents and visitors to enjoy the natural surroundings and the tranquility they offer. Built thoughtfully from the ground up, the home is designed to deliver complete comfort no matter the season. Winters here are especially cozy, thanks to in-floor radiant sub-flooring that gently warms residents at the foot level. During the warmer months, summers are kept cool by a system of conditioned air that cascades quietly from ceiling-mounted micro-ducts, maintaining an even, pleasant climate throughout the spacious residence.
Safety and accessibility are paramount at the Solberg Family Home, and the house itself incorporates a range of measures to promote security and ease of living. The home features twelve barrier-free exterior doors to ensure straightforward access, and interior spaces are equipped with roll-in, no-step showers and calming whirlpool soaking tubs. To enhance fire protection, all walls and ceilings are constructed with 5/8" drywall, and the spaces between all interior walls are filled with cellulose insulation for increased resistance to fire as well as to minimize sound transmission. Sub-floors, exterior brickwork, and all decks are made from non-combustible masonry materials, adding an extra level of security. Multiple heating and cooling systems work in tandem to keep every area of the home comfortable, while a central vacuum system and intercom contribute to cleaner, healthier living spaces and streamlined communication. For added convenience and safety during colder months, the three-car attached garage is heated, ensuring warm and slip-free transfer in and out of vehicles.
Life at the Solberg Family Home is centered around the concept of welcoming individuals into an extended family. The home has a rich tradition of opening its doors, not only to those in need of care and companionship but also to friends, children, adults, and even pets and farm animals. The daily experience at this home is vibrant and engaging, often punctuated by various gatherings and celebrations. The Solberg Family Home hosts a range of special events, from holiday meals and parties to weddings, anniversaries, and cast parties, cultivating a sense of community and festivity. The mission that guides everything here is to uplift each resident’s dignity and well-being by integrating them into the rhythms of daily life in a bright, airy, and spacious setting.
Residents become a genuine part of the family dynamic, participating in outings to local stores, churches, children’s concerts, and seasonal excursions such as fall color tours. The staff accompanies residents to medical appointments and other places they may need or want to visit, ensuring that the transition from independent to assisted living is smooth, safe, and enjoyable. Mealtimes hold a special importance at the Solberg Family Home—these family-style gatherings are an opportunity to share stories, discuss events of the day, and build meaningful connections, reinforcing the home's commitment to fellowship and belonging.
