Reviews

Residents and their families say:

The Summit has garnered a wealth of positive feedback from both residents and their families, emphasizing a high level of satisfaction with its services, staff, and facilities. Many reviews highlight the community's caring and compassionate nature, especially within the memory care unit, where staff go above and beyond to ensure residents are comfortable, engaged, and well-cared for. The variety of activities coordinated by the staff, including concerts, shopping trips, and field trips, has been praised for keeping residents active and socially connected. The attention to creating a welcoming and helpful environment is consistently mentioned, with special mentions of the staff's dedication to residents' well-being and happiness. The facilities are described as beautiful and clean, with great amenities and delicious food options that cater to the needs and preferences of the residents.
However, some critiques focus on operational aspects, including perceived declines in service quality over time, issues with staff responsiveness, and maintenance problems that have been frustrating for some. Comments on the dining services mentioned understaffing and the quality of food not meeting expectations, alongside mentions of changes, such as the removal of the juice machine, which disappointed some residents. Additionally, there were concerns about communication, particularly in situations requiring repairs or when families sought updates regarding their loved ones. Despite these challenges, the overwhelming majority of feedback underscores a strong community spirit, exceptional care, and a responsive and friendly staff, making The Summit a highly regarded choice for many families.
