A family member of mine recently moved into Summerville Estates. He is very happy there due to the extra effort Matt made to make his move seamless. If you or a loved one is looking for an independent living facility, check Summerville Estates out. I cannot say enough about their care and compassion for aging seniors. Job well done.

Not all retirement homes are as nice as this one! My father-in-law is there. Lovely, competent staff, great food, well maintained. My mother-in-law passed there and they did the hospice on location.

We are delighted with our experience living at Summerville Estates Retirement community. It is very well managed by the two couples who live here as Managers and Assistant Managers. There is always management on the premises, with very little trouble that I am aware of. The food is very good, and there are at least several options at each meal if you prefer one thing over another. They offer a variety of dinner entrees including international favorites, very good soups and desserts, and also salads, sandwiches, stuffed potatoes at lunch and dinner, and eggs to order at all 3 meals. Maintenance requests are answered promptly and professionally. The movie theater is awesome as are all of the many activities, which take place in large variety of rooms. The library is pretty special with seating in the large room with a beamed ceiling and a two-sided fireplace in the middle. There is a billiard table as well as ping pong and poker tables. There are at least 3 pianos on the premises as well as a chapel and a variety of services on Sunday and throughout the week. There are 2 beautiful ponds out back, well supplied with ducks, geese, turtles and fish for fishing in one. The ponds are a peaceful place to enjoy the outdoors with some benches, chairs, a picnic table and a porch swing with great views. But the residents are the best part. It seems everyone is friendly and polite. Newcomers are warmly welcomed as this is a caring community. There is a culture of acceptance and inclusion and a variety of faiths are represented without being pushed on anyone. There are wonderful weekly outings planned with the bus. And so on and on. We can’t say enough. Check it out!
