It has been excellent!

I moved here 6 months ago after viewing, in person, several, independent living facilities. I knew what I was looking for, and The Summit met those needs plus so many more. There are numerous, wonderful indoor and outdoor activities. Medical services are close by, and the drive to the beaches is so easy. The staff is competent and so very friendly; I enjoy all the residents; I love my apartment! Am I happy here? You bet! Also, the food is great.

A cruise on dry land

Before moving to The Summit, I checked out several other senior living facilities. Some were nice, while others were not so much. I hadn’t considered The Summit because I thought it was a condo.A Place for Mom suggested it and I made an appointment. The staff were so nice and toured the place with me. I even had a sample meal there too. The food was top restaurant quality. This was important to me since I do not cook. The agent selected an apartment for me near the elevator and parking which suited me well as I use
