You Can't Judge A Book by Its Cover....
reviewed on: 07/05/2016 by Anonymous ObviouslySolana looks like a Marriott hotel inside and it is supposed to give you the impression that everything there is first class, but it's really NOT! As a former nurse and employee in an assisted living/nursing home environment, they appear to be short-staffed here - especially on the weekends. This is evident when there was a fire drill and no one prepared our mother in advance or made sure she was out of her room - made us all wonder, did they even realize she was there? They certainly should have. Every Resident there should be accounted for in such an occurrence. We also have issues with the food and the dining room staff in particular - they are primarily 'kids' who do not know the meaning of the word professional and are poorly trained in customer service and a can-do attitude. Solana Management should address the need for appropriate training of the Food Service staff immediately. Food and the overall dining experience is a very important part of Residents' daily lives. As for the food itself, its covered in sauces or gravy and there is a real lack of healthy options - the vegetables are overcooked to mushiness and no real salad options for a salad lover like our Mom. Fried food is a not a favorite of the Residents either - occasionally but not regularly. We will be revisiting on a regular basis during mealtimes to monitor the level of service in the dining room as well as the quality of the food. This is not a cheap place to have our parent and we expect much better than what we have seen so far.
My Home At Atria
reviewed on: 06/02/2018 by KathleenA little over 4 years ago, I was the first (of 2 people) to move into the newly-constructed Atria residence here in Willistown, PA. John and I are still here and sometimes discuss shared experiences which led to the current refined standards of staff and programing selections. “Prove Your Worth Each Day” seems to be the common credo of employment here now. The meals are delicious! I love to see aides give special attention (and sometimes a hug) to residents. Wonderful speakers and entertainers are brought in. It is as if NOW… the world is coming to us!
The Solana is doing a good job.
reviewed on: 01/08/2015 by AnonymousThe Solana is doing a good job. It's clean, and they have had some changes in management so we are hoping somethings will improve. We aren't too keen on the physical therapy, or the dining. They had a lot of fried options, and not very many healthy selections. They would have one special option for the meal, and the stuff they always offer, and that's it. When they offer chicken it's always chicken breast, never legs or thighs. They just hired a new chef at the beginning of the year, so maybe the menu will get better. It's also a little more crowded than it used to be, perhaps they need to have a few more caregivers.
Great Exprience
reviewed on: 03/08/2015 by AnonymousMy family and I liked everything and my Mom liked it best of all. She signed up the same day that she saw the facility. Everything and everyone was very impressive. The best part was that my Mom did not even think she was ready to make the transition until she visited The Solana. We knew she was needing the make the move. She moves in, in a couple of weeks.
My time at Atria Willistown
reviewed on: 06/02/2018 by Mary Beth FrielI have been a resident of Atria Willistown since the beginning of February, 2018. I fractured my neck in Sept., 2017. I couldn’t walk at all and my right arm had very little mobility. After spending time at two other rehabs, I very reluctantly came to Atria Willistown. The Atria family (staff) are the most wonderful people. I love every one of them. As of the beginning of May, 2018, I have regained complete mobility in my right arm and I am able to walk again. I’m using a walker until I build up my strength, but I am actually walking again! To be honest, I had lost hope and never thought I’d walk again, but it’s happened. The physical therapy, occupational therapy and everyone that I’ve dealt with are the best. And so are the residents of Atria. There are so many fun activities that are well thought out and specially planned for us. I’m very happy to be going home soon, but I’m going to miss everyone here more than I can say.
