The Summit is an amazing place. It’s like a 5 star hotel. The staff are professional and friendly. The only problem is: it is too large for my mother. I’m afraid she would not be able to find her way to and from the dining room.

A beautiful and comfortable place that's safe for everyone

You can eat whenever you want. They have a menu to choose from daily and the food is good. There are care givers and staff floating around at all times. Most staff are very helpful and pleasant. Have a locking system to keep memory care patients from leaving without assistance. They have PT, OT and ST on staff during the day. They encourage interaction with each other through out the day. The surrounding areas are very pleasant with gardens and bird feeders.

Review for The Summit at Chenal Valley

The staff has been excellent and the care for my wife has been second to none! She's been there over a year and a half now. I would recommend the Summit to anyone looking for a place for a loved one suffering from dementia! Her room is constantly cleaned and the food is very good and balanced.

Response from the community

Thank you so much for sharing your experience at The Summit. We’re truly honored by your kind words and grateful for the trust you’ve placed in our team for your wife’s care over the past year and a half. Hearing that the care has been “second to none” means more than we can express. We are truly grateful for your recommendation. It’s a privilege to support individuals living with dementia and the families who love them, and we’re honored to be part of your journey.

EXCELLENT

We love how attentive the administration and staff are to us. They treat us like family which makes us feel "at home" rather than in a corporate run facility. There are many varied activities we can choose from.

Response from the community

Sales associate was very knowledgeable and friendly. The atmosphere was very welcoming and clean. Welcomed in the memory assistance area, they were kind enough to show me to the correct location.

Review for The Summit at Chenal Valley

The community is very nice and well heated. The food is average; my dad didn't enjoy it at first but has learned what to order-though I'd recommend avoiding the chicken. The manager is generally pleasant, though interactions can vary. Maintenance does respond to issues, but for upgraded or higher-end features, residents may prefer to purchase their own. Housekeeping does a good job overall.

Response from the community

Thank you for sharing your experience. It is wonderful to hear that the community feels warm and comfortable for your dad. The dining feedback is appreciated, and the culinary team is glad your dad has found menu items he enjoys. Notes about the chicken will be shared so the team can continue improving. We are glad to hear maintenance has been responsive when needs arise and that housekeeping has been meeting expectations. Our team works hard to create a welcoming community for residents and families, and we look forward to continuing to make your dad's time here enjoyable.
