We chose this facility because of the location, the value, as well as the overall offering and quality of the facility. The rooms are good sized, they are more than adequate and they do have other sizes that they offer. I have eaten here and the food is good, they have a good variety and if you ever want something else than what is on the menu, other options are available. I would recommend The Solana Doylestown.

We chose this facility because of the comfort, it didn't feel like a nursing home, it felt like you were in a nice hotel. The staff here was more motivated and they were all very friendly. The location was also ideal from my brother and I. My mom was in a studio and it was roomy enough for one person. My mom said the food was good and that they were very accommodating if you wanted to order something else than what was on the menu. I would highly recommend The Solana Doylestown.

Overall, I like the community and I think my very particular mom is pretty satisfied. It was the best of the places that we looked at when trying to find the right place for my mom. There have been some small bumps along the road in the few months since we moved my mom into Solana. At times, things have happened slower than they should or in some cases, not at all. I don't think there is a place out there that can please all people all the time so I try to be fair and flexible in my judgment. My mom is not a big fan of the dinner food yet she is quite fond of the breakfast menu. I think that management should talk to the residents and find out what they like and don't like and use that information to improve the menu. The people working there are pleasant and genuinely seem to care for the residents living there. The folks on the caregiving end seem to be very busy and (perhaps??) a bit understaffed. We've had a few missed medication visits and missed showers. There seem to be a lot of different activities and day trips although my mom has not really gotten involved in this way. I hope that she will become more interested in the future. One area I've found to be a bit lacking is the transportation to appointments. I had thought that getting my mom to doctors appointments, etc. would not be a problem; this has proved to be inaccurate. I think most families provide transportation to appointments.
