Good vibes at Summer Place

5 stars for Summer Place. They have great staff. My mother was able to choose the size of her apartment, so that was nice. She says that she's "getting used" to the food. I would definitely recommend the community to others who are searching for senior living.

Summer Place was an absolutely beautiful place, there are so many things for the residents to do, there’s a van that takes residents out anywhere they need to go. The menu/food is like eating in a 5 star restaurant. Your family member will be extremely happy living here.

Would highly recommend

5 star assistance from a knowledgeable and professional staff. They carefully considered my brother's unique needs. All the places referred to us were top notch facilities. My brother had the care, companionship, great food, and various activities available to him. I am pleased to say my relationship with A Place for Mom was very helpful when I didn't know where to turn in order to move him.

Summer Place

It is a warm and attractive place. Staff is very accommodating and friendly. It is within walking distance to CVS and restaurants, etc. The place is well mainained. The bus takes residents to doctors visits, grocery shopping, and other places. Sure, some of the meals are not to my liking, but that is common to all places. There are always alternatives offered. Personally, I feel at home here and I am happy.
