Assisted Living for Veterans: Benefits and Supportive Care

Experienced and Caring Staff

The staff at Solterra Senior Living communities understand the sacrifices that former military personnel have made and aim to create an environment that honors their service. The support we offer can be tailored to a veteran’s unique needs and experiences. We strongly believe that the level of care should be as individual as the resident. 

We ensure that our residents are treated with respect and as individuals, creating an environment of care while continuing to cultivate independence. Assisted living for veterans at Solterra also offers staff who are trained to address specific medical needs related to service-related injuries or conditions. Our specialized healthcare ensures that veterans receive the care and attention they deserve, significantly reducing the stress on our residents and the families that love them. 

Shared Experience and Understanding with Fellow Residents

While family members may have the best intentions, it can be challenging to grasp the full extent of a veteran’s experience; that’s where living amongst fellow veterans can make a significant difference. Assisted living communities designed for veterans offer a strong support network and create a shared understanding of military experiences, which can help combat feelings of isolation. The sense of camaraderie and mutual respect fostered in these communities is one of the most valuable benefits of assisted living for veterans.

Individuality and Independence

At Solterra, we understand that moving into assisted living can be worrying, and you may be concerned that you are losing your independence. Rest assured, we strive to ensure that you don’t lose any of the important aspects of your life. 

We recognize that each of our residents is unique, and we cater to their individual needs. You can enjoy our extensive range of activities, classes, recreational outings, and chauffeured transportation to continue living life to the fullest. Pursue your passions, try new things, step out of your comfort zone, and reignite your sense of adventure to keep your youthful spirit alive.

Mind

At Solterra Senior Living Care, we prioritize personalized care plans for our veteran residents at our Lakeside and Chandler communities. We understand the importance of meeting each individual’s needs to ensure our residents receive appropriate care and support. Our range of activities is tailored to their interests, providing an active and fulfilling lifestyle. We encourage independence and social interaction through restaurant-style meals, weekly happy hours with entertainment, and various amenities such as a game room with pool and card tables, a media room for movie nights, and a space for presentations and lectures. Additionally, we offer designated spaces and scheduled gatherings for spiritual practices of all different denominations to ensure all residents’ spiritual needs are fulfilled.

Discover your creative side and keep your mind stimulated with our range of activities, including color therapy, cognitive games, art and music therapy, and crafts classes. Stay active and social, with plenty of opportunities to participate in various activities. We understand the importance of pets in your happiness and welcome small pets to ensure you don’t have to choose between their companionship and the care you need.

In a separate aspect, it is a frequent occurrence for individuals who have served in the military to face mental health challenges, particularly post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression, that arise from their time in service. Solterra Senior Living offers access to counseling services and support groups to address these concerns and promote emotional well-being. Our communities are dedicated to providing care for seniors grappling with issues ranging from PTSD to memory impairment.

We are committed to providing our residents with the best care and support possible. We aim to create an environment that promotes quality of life and reduces anxiety. We genuinely believe there is a better way to care for seniors and are here to help.

Solterra Senior Living communities offer tailored care, camaraderie, and access to various VA benefits that create an environment of utmost dignity and respect.
