To: Solheim Employees, Residents, Family Members and Stakeholders
From: Sam Oden, CEO of Solheim Senior Community
With the intense summer heat upon us here in Southern California, it’s more important than ever to stay cool and stay hydrated. Please take full advantage of the hydration stations located throughout our campus—they are there to help you remain refreshed and safe. Whether you’re spending time outdoors or just moving between areas, make it a habit to stop and drink water frequently. If you're feeling overheated or need assistance with your air conditioning, don’t hesitate to let our nursing staff or the front desk know right away. Your health and comfort are our top priorities.
Please note that the Merton and Manor Main Dining Room Refresh is set to begin this Monday, July 14th. This project will follow the successful completion of the Merton Manor corridor renovation and includes new paint, carpeting, and LVP flooring to enhance both the comfort and visual appeal of our dining space.
To minimize disruption during construction—which is expected to last approximately seven days—a temporary dining plan has been put in place:
Breakfast will be served as a hot buffet in the Navigage Room, with a Grab-and-Go Station available in the Fountain Room for lighter fare.
Lunch will be served in both the Navigage Room and the Sensory Patio, with two seatings at 11:45 AM and 12:30 PM. Residents may choose their preferred dining location—no assigned seating will be in effect during this time.
Dinner will be served exclusively on the Sensory Patio.
Complimentary tray service will be available to anyone who prefers to dine in their home.
Be sure to check out our July calendar and stay up to date with daily activities by tuning in to Solheim’s In-House Channel 1390! As the summer weather warms up, we’re embracing all the joys the season brings. This month is filled with opportunities to get outside, stay active, engage your mind, enjoy a good book, and connect with friends in our community. Whether you're looking for relaxation or a little adventure, there’s something for everyone to enjoy at Solheim!
All staff in our Skilled Nursing Campus 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.
