Best Choice for Mom

I do not have the exact room size, but for a 1 bedroom it has plenty of storage and a nice size living area with kitchenette. The staff is wonderful and very responsive if a need arises. There is a schedule of activities posted and there is always something seasonal scheduled. One thing that I have been so grateful for is the number of staff that pop in to check on momma. She refuses to go eat downstairs so they don't see her everyday. They make sure to put eyes on her daily to make sure she is ok. The facility is…

The room is a one bedroom good size. But we asked for a studio they were suppose to give her but none were open at the time so we are getting cost of studio until her room opens up. Staff are extremely helpful and she says the food is very good. They have bingo, movie nights and bands lots of activities for them. They have a cleaning girl come once a week to change sheets on bed and towels also clean the place. They have a hairdresser there on Wednesday and Friday's

Review for Summerville Estates

The room is a great size. Just wish it had in room laundry versus community laundry. The food is fantastic. The staff is responsive and nice and they make it very easy to have additional in-home healthcare. I would recommend the community to others.

Our Family's Experience. Overall we would recommend

We are very pleased with the Staff. Very polite and helpful with any questions or concerns we might have. Also, the kitchen staff and food is great. My Dad is in a 1 bedroom apartment, but when a studio comes available we will be moving him into it. It will be more cost effective for him with his current income. He really doesn't need all that space. He seems to enjoy living there. They have many activities and I'm trying to get him to do some of them. Sometimes he just isn't interested but that's okay. He loves to…
