Through reviews from our residents and their loved ones, learn more about life at The Solana East Cobb
Safety
Sometimes it is no longer safe for your loved one to live alone at home. Maybe the upkeep is too much or the home isn’t “aging-ready.” Maybe you’ve noticed signs of decline like missed medications and scorched pans. When this happens, a move into a senior living community is important for their safety and well-being.
Knowing your loved one is safe and cared for is a tremendous relief for many family members. Ivy Rosenberg shared this heartwarming message, “We couldn't be happier with the care and communities at Solana. The staff is conscientious and communication from management is timely and informative. Mom is safe and happy and loves Solana!”
Feels Like Home
Senior living communities help build a sense of community. Our trained staff keeps residents engaged and maintains deep connections through shared interests and stories. Our community is modern and updated with cozy corners for reading, gardens, and dining rooms where residents eat together.
When considering a move to senior living, reviews like Susan Welborn’s are reassuring to families. She shared, “The Solana made the transition for my mom moving from her home of 46 years easy and inviting. She immediately felt safe and happy. The variety of activities is wonderful for her social life and brain enrichment.”
Amenities
When thinking of a senior living community, some may remember visiting their grandparents in a nursing home. From pools and game rooms to libraries and cocktail lounges, this is not your great-grandma’s senior living.
The way we look at senior living has evolved and seniors are staying active now more than ever. In addition to the modern and updated decor, senior living communities offer many amenities like housekeeping, laundry services, and transportation. Having a bit of extra help from the staff comes in handy. Sheri Dresser shared her loved one’s experience, “What a great experience it has been for our family since my mom moved into The Solana East Cobb over a year ago. We were so surprised, impressed, and relieved to find just the perfect place for mom so close to our home and so close to all the great things that East Cobb has to offer!”
Activities
Seniors can be affected the most when it comes to isolation, especially while dealing with an ongoing pandemic. Due to increased isolation, seniors are reevaluating their living arrangements.
One family member commented, “We continue to be thrilled with and beyond grateful for The Solana East Cobb and everyone there. Our beloved mother is well cared for, safe, engaged, and happy. And that is priceless!”
There are many benefits to living in a senior living community. That’s why so many seniors are making the move!
