The Solana Doylestown was a nice place. We just looked at the assisted living there. We only had interaction with a couple of staff members there, but it was super nice. We visited there twice. My husband and I went once and then we went with his parents. It's a very nice facility. The rooms were very updated and very pretty. The actual common areas were gorgeous. They were super, super warm and cozy and nice and updated. My parents felt the room was too small, but it was very nice.
The bedroom had carpet, the living area had a laminated floor and the kitchen area was just like a kitchenette kind of thing. I thought there was a lot of wasted space in the room. It was a one-bedroom that we looked at and they told us they only had four two-bedrooms there and they were all taken. I had told them if one opened up to give us a call because I liked it a lot. The bathroom was nice. The shower was nice and easy to get in and out of, and there's seating in the shower.
They had a little salon there and a nice common area up on the second floor with the movie theater room and a popcorn machine. While we were there, they had some musicians singing and playing guitar. We toured on Valentine's Day and they were fixing to have a Valentine's party. They had animals in there, which I find inviting and homey. They had a nice art room that I thought was pretty cool and a nice little library area. The first time that we visited there, they were having a little afternoon wine and beer party, and people seemed to be enjoying it. At the front entrance, there was a nice little bar area. I liked the dining area there, too. When you walk in, you can see right through the dining area and there was a nice outdoor space.
It was a smaller facility, so they were aware of their various residents and their needs, and they seemed to be very thoughtful about that. That was something I like there. The staff who gave us the tour twice was awesome. She's lovely, really explained things, answered all my in-laws' questions and they're memory-impaired a bit and they kept asking the same ones and she was so patient and very, very nice. It was a very nice facility, very clean and very well kept.
