PositiveReview for The Retreat at Summerville
The friendliness of the staff and spectrum of clients living at The Retreat was impressive. [name removed] gave me a tour and was very informative about the facility.

CriticalReview for The Retreat at Summerville
The place started off great, when selling you to get in. It was all bad afterwards. I don't have anything good to say about them. They were nice to me, until I started voicing my concerns.They did have a nice TV area, & had musicians come in. Crappy food served in cheap Styrofoam containers & paper plates.

CriticalReview for The Retreat at Summerville
Nice office staff but they only do paperwork and work days M - F. The workers that take care of residents is VERY POOR. Unstaffed. So a worse on letting your love stay there. This was the Memory care rooms not the other portion.

PositiveReview for The Retreat at Summerville
We picked this community, because of the staff's friendliness and willingness to work with us. Even though this place is older, the quality of care they give your loved one far outweighs the age of the home. Also, the staff is caring, and they provide comfort for the residents, and parents as well.
