Overview of Solon Nursing Care Center

Facebook Instagram

Owned by Lucille Atkinson, Solon Nursing Care Center is a skilled nursing facility in Solon, Iowa. The community with 96 beds serves older adults who need post-acute rehabilitation and longer-term skilled nursing care. Programs include rehabilitation nursing and specialized support for residents living independently within the facility. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted from families looking for options for arranging care.

The facility is in a moderately walkable area with a Walk Score of 54, so some daily errands can be completed on foot. The community has an occupancy rate of 69%. Residents stay an average of 155 days, including short-term rehabilitation patients and those receiving longer-term care. Daily nurse staffing averages 4 hours and 14 minutes per resident. Registered nurses, nurse aides, and licensed practical nurses provide hands-on support and clinical oversight.

Outpatient therapy services are available on-site, so residents don’t have to leave the facility to access rehabilitation care. The facility also coordinates physician services within the community, which streamlines medical oversight.

State inspections have reviewed call light response times, fall prevention practices, infection control procedures, and staffing levels. Families touring the facility should ask how these areas are managed daily and what procedures are in place to support resident care and safety.

+13% State avg: 34m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
