Summer Place experience

The staff is wonderful and part of what makes this place a haven. The food, for the most part, is very good. The cleaning staff is almost always available and the common areas are spotless. I have a studio apartment that is perfect from and my pet. I also have a balcony and a huge closet. I feel as though I am finally home. I must include that the people who live here consider this a community. We are all here for each other.

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.
