To: Solheim Employees, Residents, Family Members and Stakeholders
From: Sam Oden, CEO of Solheim Senior Community
As we shared last week, we’re thrilled to invite you to National Night Out, happening Tuesday, August 5 from 5:30–7:30pm! This annual tradition brings neighbors together to foster safer, more connected communities, and we’re proud to partner once again with our friends at the 7th Day Adventist Church. Join us for an evening of fun, food, and fellowship—a chance to celebrate what makes our neighborhood feel like home.
It’s the first day of August, and that means our August Activity Calendar is live and brimming with opportunities to nurture mind, body, and spirit. From educational talks and fitness classes to faith-based gatherings and social games, there’s something for everyone. Don’t forget: you can always find the most current program schedule on Solheim’s In-House Channel 1390.
We’re continuing to refresh our shared spaces to make them even more welcoming and functional. Next up: the front lobby remodel, projected to begin on Monday, August 11. We know this will be a larger project than our recent dining room renovation, so we’ll be sharing more details in the coming days. If you have questions, we encourage you to attend Coffee with Sam this Wednesday at 10:00am—your input and engagement are always appreciated.
Back by special request, Oktoberfest returns Saturday, September 27 from 5:00–9:00pm! Join us for the “Würst” party of the year—the Eagle Rock Oktoberfest is a fundraiser benefiting Solheim Senior Community! Enjoy live music from Bavarian Stew and more, with food and beverages available for separate purchase. Sponsorship opportunities are now available for this lively event filled with German bier, festive music, and community spirit. To become a sponsor, contact Tina Antypas at tantypas@solheimsenior.org.
Lastly, as we experience summer temperatures, please remember to stay cool and hydrated. Take advantage of the hydration stations located across campus, and don’t hesitate to notify nursing staff or the front desk if you need assistance with your air conditioning. Your health and comfort are always our top priority,
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.
If you have any specific questions, please direct them to Tina Antypas at 323-257-7518 X225 or tantypas@solheimsenior.org.
