Our family had a great experience at Solano Life House. My father was there under hospice care for over four months in the spring of 2022. We visited him several times a week and every time we found the staff welcoming, the House clean, and he and his fellow residents well cared for. There are a range of residents there from Alzheimers patients and those under Hospice care to those getting some extra assistance. They all blended well there and the staff genuinely care about each one. Many on staff have been there a long time which is a testament to the environment.
Have you ever realized that by making mistakes we learn so much more about what is actually right? By making the right decision we may never know how right it was or why it was right? I'm learning this lesson over and over again including with my mom and the choices I am now forced to make regarding her care. For anyone in Northern California with parents needing dementia care Solano Life House is a wonderful place. It doesn't look fancy because it isn't. In fact I originally placed her elsewhere because it felt a bit too institutional and stark for what I thought my mom would want. She is there now because the first home told me they didn't want to keep her. Well I am so glad they did because Solano Life House is a wonderful place. The caregivers are amazing, kind, compassionate people. They are so gentle and respectful of each resident. Everyone there including the maintenance staff "gets it." They are angels! Every time I visit mom I am more convinced that my second try was the "right" choice!
