Highland Park Nursing and Rehab Center

When families begin the journey of choosing a care community, they often search for more than just medical support. They want the comfort of knowing that their loved one will be treated with dignity, surrounded by warmth, and welcomed into a place that truly feels like home. At Solheim, we go beyond meeting basic needs. We nurture a sense of belonging and provide stability at every stage of life, which is why so many families turn to us when seeking a trusted Highland Park nursing and rehab center.

• Nearly a Century of Service: Since 1923, Solheim has been more than just a senior living community; it has been a cornerstone of compassionate care for countless families. Nearly a century of continuous service has allowed us to refine our philosophy, strengthen our programs, and build a reputation that has stood the test of time. Our foundation has always been rooted in values of faith, dignity, and love, and these guiding principles continue to shape our daily commitment to residents. Families who choose Solheim often say they feel reassured knowing that their loved ones are part of a community with such a long and trusted history. This legacy reflects not only our experience but also our consistency and reliability, giving families the peace of mind that their loved ones are in capable, caring hands that will always prioritize their well-being.

• Full Continuum of Care: One of Solheim’s greatest strengths lies in our ability to offer a complete spectrum of senior living and healthcare services within one connected campus. Whether a resident begins with independent living and later requires assisted living, memory care, rehabilitation, or skilled nursing, they can make those transitions without ever leaving the familiar surroundings they call home. This continuity of care ensures that residents can age in place, supported by the same compassionate staff they know and trust. For families, it eliminates the stress and disruption of moving to multiple facilities as health needs change, while for residents, it preserves comfort, stability, and a deep sense of belonging. Support is always available exactly when and how it is needed, providing security during both planned transitions and unexpected changes.

• Individualized Care Plans: At Solheim, we know that no two people are alike, and neither are their health journeys. Each resident receives a carefully customized care plan that reflects their medical needs, personal history, and day-to-day preferences. Our team takes time to listen, not only to the resident but also to their family and physician, so that every plan honors the individual’s unique goals and lifestyle. This collaborative approach ensures that care goes beyond clinical requirements, embracing emotional peace, personal comfort, and dignity. Families often find reassurance in knowing that their loved one is not treated as just another patient but as a valued individual whose identity and choices remain central to the care experience.

• Highly Skilled Staff: Behind every successful care community is a team of professionals who balance skill with compassion. At Solheim, our nurses, therapists, and caregivers undergo continuous training to remain at the forefront of senior care practices and medical standards. But their expertise is only part of what sets them apart; their genuine kindness, patience, and humanity make all the difference. Our staff members form real relationships with residents, learning their routines, listening to their stories, and offering comfort during challenging moments. Families frequently remark on how attentive and responsive our team is, whether during routine check-ins or times of greater need. This commitment to both professional excellence and heartfelt connection ensures that residents always feel cared for in every sense of the word.

• Daily Enrichment Opportunities: We believe that health and happiness go hand in hand, which is why Solheim offers a robust calendar of daily activities designed to nurture body, mind, and spirit. Residents can participate in music therapy programs that awaken cherished memories, explore creativity in art workshops, enjoy the vitality of group exercise classes, or cultivate calm through gardening in our outdoor spaces. Social gatherings, discussion circles, and special events further strengthen bonds within the community. These activities are not merely pastimes; they are essential opportunities that keep residents engaged, purposeful, and joyful. By creating meaningful daily experiences, we ensure that every resident wakes up with something to look forward to and a reason to thrive.

• Faith-Based Foundation: While Solheim welcomes individuals of all faiths and backgrounds, our identity is deeply rooted in Christian values that emphasize kindness, respect, and community. This faith-based foundation serves as the moral compass for how we approach care; compassion is not just encouraged, it is the standard. Families and residents often find comfort in knowing that our care is guided by both professional standards and spiritual integrity. Here, every person is honored, supported, and valued holistically, ensuring that their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs are respected at every stage of their journey.

• Convenient Highland Park Location: Location plays a crucial role in care, and Solheim’s presence in Highland Park offers families an added layer of reassurance. Our proximity to local hospitals, clinics, and neighborhood communities makes it easy for residents to access specialized medical care quickly if the need arises. Families also benefit from the convenience of frequent visits, staying closely connected to their loved one’s daily life. This accessibility not only strengthens family bonds but also ensures continuity of care both inside and outside our community. Being in the heart of Highland Park allows Solheim to remain deeply connected to the surrounding area while offering the peace and security of a trusted senior living environment.

• Warm Environment: Unlike large, impersonal facilities that can feel clinical or overwhelming, Solheim maintains an atmosphere of warmth, familiarity, and genuine hospitality. Residents live in spaces designed for comfort, security, and ease, surrounded by caregivers and peers who quickly become like extended family. The sense of home is reinforced by welcoming routines, friendly faces, and an environment that prioritizes both safety and belonging. Families consistently note that Solheim does not feel like an institution; it feels like a community where their loved ones can live with dignity, confidence, and joy.

Family-Centered Approach: At Solheim, we believe that families are not just visitors but essential partners in each resident’s journey. We foster open communication, encouraging loved ones to share their insights, preferences, and concerns so that care always reflects the resident’s values. Regular visits, participation in activities, and involvement in care planning are not only welcomed but celebrated. This partnership approach strengthens trust and ensures that families remain actively connected to their loved one’s daily experience. For residents, it provides a sense of continuity between family life and community life, while for families, it offers reassurance that their voices are heard and their loved one’s needs are honored every step of the way.
