SOLANA EAST COBB, THE

I was dropping off a delivery at the facility and the smell of food coming from the café made it feel warm and inviting, like walking into someone’s home during dinner. The café area is such a nice touch too. It’s cozy, bright, and gives residents a place to gather, chat, and enjoy a hot cup of coffee. You can tell a lot of thought went into creating a space that feels welcoming and full of life. Will definitely be sharing with family members in the area who need support with their loved ones care.

Beautiful community with lots of light and great outdoor space. They kept it clean. Good size rooms with lots of light. Staff was very kind but there was a lot of turnover while my mom was there [e.g. no memory care director for a couple of months, many aides who were there for only a short period of time]. Wanda, the receptionist, is awesome, as is Mary Bennett - both go out of their way to help and really care about the residents. Ultimately, I moved my mom because I felt she wasn't getting the attention she needed as a higher functioning memory care resident. The activities were geared toward lower functioning residents so she didn't want to participate and she spent most of her time in her room. The activities director did her best, but she was pulled in many different directions because they were under-staffed. The activities director was a wonderful person to have there, but she also is now gone. I moved my mom to a much smaller different community in Sandy Springs. It is less aesthetically pleasing, but they really have paid attention to my mom and integrated her into the community. I think Solana has a lot of potential, but in my opinion, the staff turnover had an impact on care. Yelp reviews have a different take than what you see here. If looking for a place for your loved one, you should read those as well.

I attended a professional senior provider network at this lovely community. I can’t say enough about how beautiful, bright and clean it is. I met most of the management team and there’s so many good things I could share with you about their warm and professional environment. Solana East Cobb, is clearly in the upper echelon of Senior living communities.

I’ve been marketing in the Marietta area for about 5 to 6 years now…and Wanda has been absolutely amazing every time I come into the building. If there is an award for the best concierge, she has definitely earned it!

My father has been at Solana East Cobb for a little over 5 years now. Overall it has been a very good experience. The staff is friendly and responsive. The building is pleasant to be in and there are green spaces outside to enjoy. Everyone knows my dad and tries to engage with him, even though his dementia can make that difficult. The staff is aware of his peculiarities and do their best to accommodate him. No communal living facility is perfect, but Solana East Cobb is working hard to be the best in the area. We are glad that this is where we were able to move Dad when he needed memory care.
