Medical Services Delivered to Your Room

Solheim ensures that residents don’t need to leave their rooms to access critical health services. This reduces stress and avoids emergency care visits by bringing medical support to their door.

Ultrasound at Home

Certified technicians perform diagnostic ultrasound tests on-site. These non-invasive scans help monitor organ health, detect fluid buildup, and assess circulation problems — all without scheduling an outside appointment.

Home Health Services

Home health nurses and therapists provide personalized care in-room, from post-operative recovery to chronic disease management. These services promote healing, independence, and continuity of care.

Coordinated Hospice Support

For residents facing terminal illness, Solheim coordinates hospice services with grace and sensitivity. In-room care includes pain management, comfort support, and family counseling.

Medical Tip for Families

If your loved one begins experiencing reduced appetite, sudden weight loss, or fatigue, consider scheduling an in-room medical review. Early evaluations can prevent hospitalization and guide more responsive care planning.

Residents may also request multiple specialists, including ophthalmologists, for at-home evaluations and follow-up — making care more accessible and less disruptive.
