My mother has lived at this facility for 10 years. As a retired critical care nurse, trust me when I tell you THIS is the only place in Alexandria that you want your loved one to live and be cared for. The management is stellar as well as the staff. From the front desk, to the Aides and Nurses, your family member will be treated with respect and love.<br>My mother was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s 13 years ago and has lived here since she had mild symptoms until now, with greater cognitive disabilities. Summer House adapts to the needs of your loved one.<br>Please believe me when I say there is no other place that will provide better care. I know first hand as a healthcare provider how poorly residents are cared for at other facilities.

The facility is clean, the staff are friendly and compassionate about making life at SummerHouse Alexandria a safe and fun place to be. I am thankful for all the administrative, nursing, dietary, housekeeping and maintenance personnel who take care of my loved one when I am not around. Dawna, Robert and Laken were especially helpful with Mom during the move-in process. The activities provided are numerous and varied. We especially liked the Friday afternoon tailgate party.

Summer House has been the answer to our prayers. I have family and friends at Summer House. I have visited several facilities in the past and I have never felt like the facilities were what we were looking for until we walked in Summer House. Upon visiting Summer House, Dawanna Johnson made us feel like we were part of a larger family. The kindness shown to us has been unbelievable. I never worry for a minute that my loved one is not treated with respect. The staff loves them and cares for them as if it were their own parent. The communication they provide is wonderful, the facility always clean, the meals are good healthy meals, and the residents are always visiting, laughing and seem happy. There are numerous activities to keep the residents busy. I truly appreciate that we have such a wonderful facility with great staff as an option in our town. Thank you, Dawanna, for everything that you do for us.

When we moved my mother-in-law into SummerHouse Alexandria, I knew we made the right decision. The staff was very welcoming and residents were smiling. She enjoys the courtyard and spends many hours under the gazebo visiting with friends. She enjoys the activities, and the meals are delicious. They are pet friendly. I highly recommend SummerHouse Alexandria!
