  Moving my mom into memory care was a long overdue decision exacerbated by personality issues. A visit to the ER presented a sudden opportunity and Mary was very helpful from a last minute showing of her facility to coordinating with the hospital to getting my mom settled, all within 24 hours. On top of that, while the first night went well, the next two nights were very difficult for my mom, but Mary and her staff were on top of it even going so far as to call the police to help reassure my mom that someone couldn't get in to kill her. Since then, my mom has settled in nicely. SLH is a hidden gem of a memory care provider. The modest facility is extremely clean and doesn't smell of cooking or urine. The staff is incredibly well trained and responsive, the meals are home cooked, and the private and living spaces are all clean, bright and inviting. I really can't say enough about Mary, her staff, and SLH. I have full confidence that my mom is being cared for better than I can do myself.

  Unfortunately my mother was not a fit due to her present state. It is very evident that under Mary’s leadership the staff provides very individualized loving care to each resident. It feels very much like a safe and caring community of committed caregivers.

  Review for Solano Life House

  Lack of adequate care, refusal to provide invoices or receipts. I think they need higher staffing levels and more supervision

  Review for Solano Life House

  The staff is all very helpful kind and patient. One hopeful thing that was great is that it's all inclusive and so it makes it very clear. What the these are and they were very accommodating as far as being able to do a tour that same day and be flexible. Everyone is very compassionate there

  they make her feel at home

  My aunt has been there a couple years now. she recently had her 88th birthday & they went out of their way to make it a special day for her. several staff members brought in unique gifts & my aunt said she was shocked and was a day she will never forget. daily care is outstanding, they check on her every hour or 2 and are very kind to her. the administrator does a good job of hiring and everyone is very friendly. the owner has given a personal touch on the facility. he often brings my aunt candy and kind words. overall it has been a great place for her to be at this stage of her life. Thank you solano life house!

  Small and caring facility.

  This facility works with you to help you figure out the best care for your loved one. It is small and more intimate and the staff persons are tentative to your loved one's needs. I believe Solano Life House is far superior than a corporate facility. Larger facilities don't offer set prices where SLH prices are guaranteed for life.

  This place is small, but very nice. It is not like one of those huge corporate places where residents often get overlooked. The price you pay is set for life! Heroes work there 💗!

  Amazing Team

  We found Solano Life House through A Place for Mom. We were able to get an appointment to tour the facility the same day our rep from. A Place for Mom had reached out for us. The facility is very clean and updates. It has a spacious courtyard for the residents to enjoy when the weather permits. The team here is very caring and patient. They made an impact on my father in-law as well as on my entire family. For the residents, they provide nutritious meals and their activity team keeps them entertained, they also have field trips scheduled for them. If you are looking for a memory care facility for a loved one, I highly recommend Solano Life House. They are very compassionate and you will have peace of mind knowing your loved ones are being taken care of.

  Review

  I could see the staff"s genuine compassion for the residents. I thought the facility was overall clean and the activities engaging for the residents. The one issue I have is that Solano Life House feels like a dreaded facility. There is nothing warm about the decor, except when the fire is on the TV. Everything is sterile as in plain and feels more business than homey. I also never understood why the Residents who are non-ambulatory were always made to stay in their wheelchairs. There were many comfy chairs along the wall that often remained empty sans those who can sit there on their own. I know I instructed the staff, per the doctor and hospice nurse, to have my mother sit with her legs raised for a few hours during the day do to circulation issues and a fractured back. However, this only occurred a few times throughout her stay.

  Family

  Solano Life House employees are like family. I spend several days a week at SLH visiting my love ones and therefore I interact with all employees that care for my love ones. I'm very happy with all the staff. I'm greeted by Activities staff when I enter, care staff will give me an update on how my love one are doing. I usually ask MED-TECHNICIAN if there are any changes with my love ones and any time I needed help from house keeping they have always assisted me. It's important to me to be proactive with my parents care and SLH gives me peace that they're in good hands.

  Perfect place for my Aunt

  We moved my Aunt here from a more expensive facility 1 and 1/2 years ago. The Administrator has been excellent since day one. She gave me the tour, answered my questions and took my calls in the days after. She visited my Aunt at the other facility to get her comfortable with the idea of moving there. Administrator fixes issues quickly. My Aunt's first roommate was not a compatible fit. Administrator found the ideal replacement. Maintenance was extremely helpful in the entire moving in process (set up her hospital bed, helped me move in items, and installed a tv mount for her). The facility is kept very clean on a daily basis. Activities staff is very efficient. They cut her hair and do her nails, which she really enjoys. Caregivers are always friendly. One caregiver has become like a best friend to her & treats her like she was part of her family, which is invaluable. Our family is so pleased that we moved her here, the cost is less. The care & attention is so much better. Thank you!

  Caring courteous and loving

  Those at Solano Life House have always been courteous to us. I feel they have my sister’s care and safety a priority. This the best facility for my sister. Since I live out of state, I am grateful for excellent communication.

  My father will be staying at Solano Life House for respite care. It was very nice, and they were very kind. They were happy to show us around, and we dropped in without an appointment. Everybody was very cordial and very inviting. They made my dad feel very welcome. They gave us a tour of the entire facility, which isn't really big, but it has nice rooms. We talked to the director, and she's been helping us get our paperwork and everything. They have nice clean rooms and good services, and they have things to do, and with meals. We were really pleased with that. They will provide whatever you need. It's done on a daily basis, and nobody else would do that. They have different like classes and groups going on from exercises to storytelling. They have kitchen staff, and they specialize in dementia care, so that was very important. I haven't tried their food, but I saw what they had up on their menu board, and it all looked very inviting. Looks like good stuff. I think there's 38 beds available in there, which makes it a small place. It's not fancy on the other side, but it's very nice, big, and clean on the inside, and that's really what I care about.

  My dad is at Solano Life House. He's currently in hospice care there. He's been there for a little over a month now. I like it there. All of the employees are very caring and kind. They are also very proactive in communicating with me about what's going on with my father. I really like the fact that they have a very good ratio of caregivers to patients. It's great. You get plenty of attention. I live in Colorado. I haven't personally been there, but my daughter who lives in Woodland not far away, has, several times. The food apparently is good because my father likes it. When there's anything involving outside, healthcare, nursing appointments or if he has any kind of issue medically, the nurses and/or the staff there call me or text me right away. I know they do karaoke, but he doesn't participate too much. He's not real verbal, but he enjoys being there. Socialization is really good. He's been included in all of the onsite activities that he can do. Everybody from the director down, they communicate well and they're very understanding and caring. They like my dad. They only have 35 beds so they can actually give a lot of individual attention as needed. My daughter said the place is very pleasant, cheery, and very nice. She said Dad has a window out over a garden area. I haven't been there to see what exactly the activities are, but from talking to the different caregivers and my dad there, he's not real verbal, but he gives a lot of thumbs up and smiles. They said he enjoys going out and taking his meals and being part of the activities. He is able to get around without having somebody help him in and out of his wheelchair. He does it on his own as much as he can, so it's pretty good. Value for money is excellent. It's very cost effective and affordable, but it's good quality. I've checked around in that area and also some other places, and it's very reasonable. I would highly recommend anybody who is in Northern California or the Sacramento area, if they're looking for a good long-term care for a parent or a family member, the Solano Life House is the first place I would send them.
