Solista Roseburg (New name for Garden Valley) is an independent living facility that provides housekeeping, meals, and some transportation. It is a four story building with one elevator and is currently undergoing a renovation of the public spaces. The apartments range from a single room to two bedrooms and are unfurnsihed. They are equipped with cable TV service (Optional for an extra fee). Meal times are fixed, with generally good food! Meals are served restaurant style, with usually three courses. Vegetarian meals are offered. The facility has been undergoing a major rennovation for the past several months! Lots of fresh paint in the common areas. and repainting of empty apartments. New flooring and, of course a complete disruption of the activity areas. It is supposed to be "finished" in October! The Solista library is currently somewhere in hiding! The staff is very helpful and well trained. There are staff "on duty" from at least 8 am until 7 pm. There are no night staff on site but there are "on call" staff who can be onsite rapidly. All residents are provided with an "emergency call" button and paramedic response is usually very quick, arrivng in as short as a few minutes. The facility model is "independent living" so activities can appear to be somewhat limited - three or four activities per day. Round trip bus transportation for shopping, doctor visits, etc. is avalable at least 20 hours a week. A new management company has just taken over (August 1. 2024) , but retained most of the old staff. Costs are about average for the area.

It is a nice place. The staff was very informative. She listened to what I had to say and what I knew about my mother-in-law. She was very concerned about the care for her. The rooms were really nice. I think they would be sufficient. They had a dining room area for the family when they come in and a nice table. They also had big dining room area for the residents. It is independent living. My aunt was there, and she was independent; she could do for herself. She was totally independent, and I don't think my mother-in-law is. They seemed to have a lot of activities going on. My aunt liked to play bunco, and they had bunco there once a week. They have a game room up above. It seemed like they had lots of activities there. They had a calendar of activities. I'm thinking it's a nice place, but it may not fit with my mother-in-law because she needs a little more care. I thought they were pretty nice people, and they were very helpful. The staff was very helpful, and she listened to what the problems were with my mother-in-law. She just decided that, 'This might not be a good fit for her. It could be temporarily, but if you start somewhere, it's best to start at a place that's going to keep her.'

It was nice, and it was really clean. The tenants were really nice too. There was an elevator in there, they provided meals, and they have a kitchenette with a two-burner stove in each apartment. It was pretty nice.

I had a very good experience with the people in here that worked with us to try to get us to a facility we could afford. They were very nice and worked with us on many avenues. I would recommend that place to anybody. I went in and the place was clean, the people were friendly, and helpful. It was just a very good atmosphere and I was very happy with it. There is nothing other than the independent section. If they need somebody to come in, they can have that person come in to take care of them. My folks tried the food and they were very happy.

My tour was very good, it's a wonderful place, and I couldn't ask anything better than that. The community is wonderful, they have everything anybody would ever need. The rooms are beautiful, and the person who gave me the tour was such a sweetheart. They gave us a list of the activities that they had going on for the month, and they were quite interesting. I would rate the staff a five; everybody that we ran into over there was just absolutely wonderful.
