To: Solheim Employees, Residents, Family Members and Stakeholders
From: Sam Oden, CEO of Solheim Senior Community
We have had a number of new residents join our community in the last few months, and we are thrilled to share what we like to call the “Solheim Feeling” with them! To that end, I encourage you all to make a point of warmly welcoming our newest residents.
I also want to take the opportunity to remind everyone that our “Refer-a-Friend” program is still underway! Any resident who refers a friend to Solheim will receive an incentive when that referral moves into our community and becomes part of the “Solheim Family.” And in fact, it’s even better than that: Both the current resident and the referred resident will also receive a $1,000 credit on their fourth month’s rent. It’s a win-win for all involved! Not only do you get to expand your circle of friends, but you also get to enjoy some financial benefits. Please contact Emily Pierce our Sales Specialist for more information about this program at epierce@solheimsenior.org or by calling our front desk.
Our staff is integral to the exceptional care that is provided here at Solheim, and one of the main reasons we hold a 5-Star overall rating with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services . Their unwavering dedication and tireless efforts are the cornerstone of our community's well-being. Although we do not allow tipping, we do offer an opportunity for you to show your deep appreciation for their commitment. Donations to our Employee Appreciation Fund are welcome all year round, providing a meaningful way to express your gratitude.
These funds are distributed to our employees at the end of the year, and setting up a systematic monthly gift now makes a meaningful gift more manageable. Contact Tina Antypas for help with setting up a systematic gift or visit www.solheimsenior.org/donate and choose the Employee Appreciation option. Your gifts help uplift and celebrate those who dedicate themselves to serving our community with such extraordinary devotion.
One final reminder, as this summer heat continues, please remember to keep hydrated! We have established hydration stations throughout the campus to ensure easy access to water. Please make use of these stations regularly to keep yourself hydrated and safe. Let’s look out for each other and stay cool! If you have any issues with your Air Conditioning, please let the front desk or your nursing station know ASAP!
All staff in our Skilled Nursing Facility and Halvorson Memory Care must wear a well-fitting, high-quality mask or higher-level respirator. Visitors to our Health Center (Skilled Nursing) are required to wear a mask, and will be offered a COVID-19 antigen test before entry.
