A Senior Living Community

Each year Solheim Lutheran Home (dba Solheim Senior Community) holds an Annual Meeting of the Corporation. We are proud to have been serving seniors for over 102 years and look forward to what God has in store for us this year!

Resolutions are marvelous, whenever we make them. But before we can chart where we want to go, we need to honestly assess where we currently are.

Like every year, 2024 had points high and low. There were times that we liked and times that we didn’t. Let’s take a good look at all of it—the good, bad and in-between—so we can deliberately choose more of what worked, and less of what didn’t.

The one caveat: no unfriendly self-judgment! The purpose of this review is to be helpful, not harsh. If you’re the sort of person who regularly reads this sort of blog, you’re already committed to being the best you can be, and we like that about you. So, maybe you could use a gentle tweak here or there. So, who couldn’t?

In the spirit of self-loving honesty, here’s a handy worksheet to help you review.

While we’re celebrating the ever-popular Solheim Senior Community’s 100 years of serving seniors, let’s take a tour through one hundred years of popular music. Feel free to sing along!

In 1923, Adolph Larson envisioned “a cozy Christian home to rest when the sun goeth down” and Solheim Lutheran Home was created in Eagle Rock, California. One year later, Al Jolson recorded “California, Here I Come,” a song often called the unofficial state song of California. (The official state song is 1913’s “I Love You California.” Agreed: “California Here I Come” is infinitely better.)
