Solivita of Echo Manor

Solivita of Echo Manor sits among aging-in-place communities and offers adult day care and skilled nursing for frail residents who need a lot of help and constant care, and they say they offer hospice and palliative care, respite care, memory care, personal care, and both assisted and independent living. The facility often handles short-term rehab stays for folks coming from the hospital who aren't ready to go home yet, so you'll see physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, IV antibiotic therapy, cardiac therapy, pain management, wound care for things like diabetic ulcers or surgical sites, nutritional counseling, recreational therapy, and stroke recovery support. Meals are served, and there are both indoor and outdoor areas, beautician services, on-site and off-site activities, devotional time, and transportation options, though some rides cost extra even though the place is located near public transit, and you can see they offer resident parking plus wheelchair accessible bathrooms, and private rehab suites get housekeeping and laundry services. The health ratings for Solivita of Echo Manor have been poor for a long time, with them being listed as a Special Focus Facility, getting serious deficiencies, harm found, and the lowest inspection ratings from at least 2014 to 2023, which led to NHAA Watchlist placement due to repeated resident harm. About 35% of the residents have dementia, most need help moving and every resident needs full help transferring and getting to or from the bathroom. Staffing has fallen short for years, with 2023 figures showing CNA care at 1.17 hours per resident per day-below recommended levels-and 100% of those days staffed under 2.0 CNA hours, which is considered unsafe. There's a wound care team led by a specialist MD, available seven days a week, plus advanced IV therapy and a gym with therapy equipment for rehab. Social services help residents or their families set up care after a stay. Solivita of Echo Manor takes Medicare and Medicaid, admits new people 24 hours a day, and offers around-the-clock skilled nursing, but the records suggest families may want to review inspection results and pay special attention to safety and staff levels when considering options.
