Solon Assisted Living Village is a 36-bed retirement community at 623 E. 5th Street in Solon, Iowa. Administered by Melissa Reed, the facility serves Johnson County and operates as part of a campus that has served the local area since 1973. Current occupancy is reported at 47%, with 17 of 36 beds filled. The location is moderately walkable, holding a Walk Score of 54.
Recent oversight from the Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing highlights a return to high compliance standards. Over the last 16 years, the facility has recorded an annual average of 0.9 deficiencies, which is 47% better than the state average. Most recently, the March 2025 recertification resulted in a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. This performance marks a notable correction from 2022, when a survey identified nine deficiencies involving medication administration and resident privacy.
Daily clinical services utilize a multi-level care model that includes independent condos, assisted living, and skilled nursing. While current evaluations are clean, a December 2023 complaint investigation substantiated a violation of tenant rights regarding unauthorized restrictions on visitor access. Professional support is provided by licensed nurses and CNAs, who facilitate transitions between care levels as resident needs change. The campus also provides outpatient therapy and long-term nursing care.
The residential environment is community-owned and provides a setting for seniors to age in place without a corporate parent entity. Shared features include nutrition support, wellness programs, and social activities tailored to a small-town retirement setting. Although the facility has faced a declining occupancy trend in recent years, its long-term operational history in Solon provides a stable foundation for the continuing care model.
Prospective representatives should note the facility’s success in achieving zero deficiencies in its most recent 2025 state review. It is recommended to discuss current visitor policies and medication oversight protocols with the administrator to ensure that previous documentation gaps remain resolved. Interested individuals can contact the administrative office to verify current staffing ratios and to confirm that the community’s personalized care standards meet their 2026 residential goals.
