The Summit

The Summit is a truly special place! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by friendly, helpful staff who go above and beyond to communicate clearly and consistently with families and visitors. The residents are full of energy and joy — it’s clear they genuinely enjoy living there. Whether it’s in Assisted Living, Independent Living, or the Memory Care unit, you can feel the sense of community throughout. As part of Nurturing Angels, we’ve had the pleasure of hosting and participating in many events at The Summit, and every experience has been warm, well-organized, and full of heart. It’s always a joy to see the residents actively engaging and having fun. The Summit is more than just a facility — it’s a vibrant, caring home.

I regret keeping my loved one there even as long as I did because I thought they would all be equally bad. Once we finally did leave, it was like a breath of fresh air. And the other place accepted mediciad also, so don't think private pay only means better care. Not only was appropriate care actually provided elsewhere, but staff communicated as compassionate humans rather than scared worker drones who are brow beaten by legal advisors giving them scripts when they can't avoid keeping their mouths shut. No one in management cares, and staff act terrified to communicate. And the staff that did care, leave, where the

I’m very satisfied with the facilities and the management and the employees. Overall, the dining room servers are fantastic. They do a great job. The facilities are excellent and well Maintained. They offer outside activities, which you can join in or not some are free and some are optional pay I used to attend almost all of the outside activities the various theaters and plays but now that I’m in a handicap mode I do very little outside activities anymore.

The Summit is the beautiful new home for my parents. The administrators and staff were so helpful to make the transition easy for everyone. The staff, activities, food, and facility are wonderful.
