Highland Park Assisted Living

Highland Park Assisted Living

We know that choosing the right place for senior care is deeply personal. It’s not just about services, it’s about finding a community that feels like home, a place where your loved one is respected, engaged, and genuinely cared for. That’s what we offer through our Highland Park assisted living program. Here, every resident is treated as an individual, not a room number. Their needs, preferences, routines, and dignity come first.

Moving into assisted living is a significant life transition, and we’re here to make that transition easier. Whether you're considering care for yourself or a parent, spouse, or grandparent, we’re committed to offering a peaceful, enriching, and empowering experience. Our team approaches every interaction with empathy and thoughtfulness, understanding that what matters most is quality of life. If you're looking for a trusted, compassionate, and high-quality assisted living option, we invite you to experience what makes Solheim different.

We welcome residents from Highland Park and surrounding areas, offering a beautiful setting, robust support, and the kind of care that brings peace of mind to both residents and families.

Why Families Choose Highland Park Assisted Living at Solheim

When you begin the search for Highland Park assisted living, you’re likely thinking about health, safety, and day-to-day support, but you’re also hoping for warmth, community, and connection. At Solheim, we provide all of that and more. What makes us stand out is our deep commitment to getting to know every resident. Before move-in, we sit down with each family to understand what makes their loved one feel secure, comfortable, and happy. That’s how we create an experience that’s not just supportive but deeply personal.

Our assisted living services include help with bathing, dressing, medication reminders, and mobility support, all delivered by trained professionals with a kind, respectful approach. But beyond these essentials, we focus on making every day meaningful. Our activities calendar offers a variety of opportunities for residents to stay engaged, from music therapy and movement classes to art workshops and themed events. Spiritual care, community meals, and cultural celebrations all contribute to the joy of daily life.

Families choose Solheim because they trust us. They see that we’re not just providing care, we’re building relationships. We offer the kind of stable, loving environment that allows residents to thrive, and families to rest easier knowing their loved one is truly seen and supported.

Personalized Support That Respects Individuality

Our assisted living model is centered on personalized, whole-person care. That means we meet people where they are, not just physically, but emotionally and mentally as well. Each resident comes to us with a unique history, and we build our approach around their story. Whether it’s incorporating favorite routines, foods, or hobbies into their day or offering tailored support for medical needs, we ensure that no two care plans are exactly alike.

We work closely with primary care physicians and specialists to ensure every aspect of health is accounted for. Our nursing team monitors wellness, helps manage medications, and coordinates services such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, and mental health counseling. For residents who experience memory challenges, we incorporate gentle guidance and cognitive stimulation into daily routines to help preserve clarity and confidence.

But what truly defines our care is how we deliver it. We’re never rushed or impersonal. We offer care with patience, humor, and deep respect. Whether we’re helping with mobility, preparing meals to match dietary needs, or simply sitting and listening to a resident’s story, we’re here to support the whole person. It’s care that meets the moment, and continues to evolve as needs change.

Highland Park Assisted Living That Feels Like Family

At Solheim, our commitment to community goes far beyond services. We’ve cultivated a culture of compassion where residents feel valued, respected, and connected. That’s what makes our assisted living environment feel more like a neighborhood than a care facility. Residents make friends. They build bonds with staff. They find new interests and rediscover old passions. Every part of our environment is designed to foster belonging and dignity.

Our campus includes quiet reading areas, beautifully landscaped outdoor spaces, communal dining rooms, and cozy lounges for social interaction. Residents can enjoy peaceful moments or active group gatherings depending on their mood and energy. We welcome family members to visit often and participate in events, holidays, and life’s everyday joys. We also ensure that care transitions, whether short-term or long-term, are handled with continuity and compassion.

When you walk into Solheim, you feel something special. It’s calm, it's kind, and it’s filled with people who truly care. We don’t believe anyone should have to give up their independence or personality just because they need support. In fact, we believe the opposite, support should make life easier, not smaller.
