About Summit City Nursing and Rehabilitation

Summit City Nursing & Rehabilitation is located in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and is part of the American Senior Communities network. The community offers a range of services including short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, respite care, hospice care, outpatient therapy, and advanced pulmonary and ventilator care, with a stated focus on person-centered, compassionate support for residents and their families.

Short-Term Rehabilitation is designed for individuals recovering from stroke, cardiovascular issues, orthopedic surgery, and other debilitating conditions, with the goal of helping participants return home safely. The program includes physical, occupational, and speech/language therapies alongside an interdisciplinary team of doctors, nurses, therapists, and social workers. Within the first 72 hours of admission, the Road to Recovery program brings together the care team, patient, and family to identify discharge goals. Additional services include wound care, fall prevention, contracture management, wheelchair positioning, mobility training, and strength-building and aerobic conditioning programs.

Long-Term Care is available for residents who can no longer manage daily tasks independently due to illness, injury, or frailty. This care is overseen by an attending physician and delivered by licensed nurses, trained health care aides, and an interdisciplinary team, with services including social activities and physical, occupational, and speech therapies aimed at maintaining residents' independence. The community describes its settings as home-like, cheerful, and secure. Payment options include private pay and Medicaid for qualified applicants, with Medicaid specialists available to assist with the application process.

Respite care is offered for short-term stays, giving home caregivers a break to travel, start new jobs, recover from illness, or pursue other needs, with the option to extend to longer-term care if required. Hospice and palliative care services, provided in partnership with local hospice companies, focus on comfort and pain relief for those facing terminal illness, incorporating skilled nursing, spiritual and bereavement counseling, medical equipment, and pharmacy services through an interdisciplinary team.

The community also provides Advanced Pulmonary and Ventilator Care under the direction of a Pulmonologist, designed to help residents with respiratory conditions improve function and reduce re-hospitalization risk. This includes speech, occupational, and physical therapy availability, along with systems to monitor oxygen levels, all aimed at improving comfort, safety, strength, and overall quality of life.

Most everybody knows that I was in a skilled nursing rehabilitation center the last 5 months. Well I'm no longer there right this minute I am at Parkview hospital on randallia. I fell at the rehabilitation center yesterday evening and laid on the floor for 30 minutes before I called 911 because nobody was answering the call light and would not answer the regular phone when I call their number to let them know I needed help. So I am now admitted to the hospital and waiting for an opening at another rehabilitation center to be open. Tuesday this week I did not get dinner until 10 minutes after 10:00 p.m. Wednesday I was left on the toilet for 47 minutes being the first day that I actually even was taken to the bathroom to use the restroom. And in that 47 minutes I called their main number two different times to let them know that I needed help. I spoke to somebody those two times and they said somebody was coming. I had also pulled the emergency light in the restroom. Yesterday morning I did not receive breakfast at all. Some of the staff were great but I do not recommend ever taking a family member to summit City nursing rehabilitation. The business manager Bree is wonderful. The activity director Audrey is amazing. All the activity staff were amazing very kind loving and compassionate They supported me when mom died. And also supported me when I struggled with being in this situation I was in for 5 months. A few of the nurses were amazing and a few of the CNAs are top notch but unfortunately a lot of the staff does not give a s*** and management does not give a s***. The social worker Jenna never did her job correctly that helped me. I thought I was so blessed and grateful for them taking me to see my mom before she passed away. Even though she was 4 hours away. But that does not give them the right to mistreat the patient just because you do something nice for them. And it doesn't mean that my grievances should be just thrown in the trash and never taken care of. I was injured by the staff trying to stand me up and pivot me to the bed because they had placed too big of a hoyer pad under me that the machine would not lift me up out of my chair.This is when I wasn't able to walk I wasn't even standing yet in therapy by myself. They dropped me and my leg went completely behind me and it irritated the arthritis in my knee so bad that it swelled up and I'm still having issues with it. And it was 5 weeks ago. The PT and OT therapy staff was amazing however their boss Momita needs her head checked because she canceled my therapy because I supposedly plateaued and was not making any progress. So the wellness lady was working with me. I was not able to stand by myself yet or walk or get out of bed or get myself dressed, but the boss still canceled my PT and OT. It was not my insurance it was summit City nursing rehabilitation therapy director who made that call. However the wellness lady worked with me and she was able to get me strong enough to get them to start my therapy back up and I was able to stand up on my own, transfer in and out of bed, and also transfer to the toilet, and car!!! Oh and the icing on the cake I left this morning telling them I would be back I was just going to go somewhere and be right back. They had the audacity to touch my stuff and throw it all in trash bags. I had somebody picking up my stuff around 11:00 p.m. before I ever told them I was not coming back. And they lost several items of clothing.

One of the employees messaged and said this, not too sure if the company is aware of this situation or not, but it doesn’t look good on them.

My mother came to this facility for rehab after a serious fall which led to several injuries. We are so grateful for the attention and care she received! The facility is clean, staff is professional and KIND. Mom was able to come home after a few short weeks!

The only reason I am ok giving 1 starts because there was 1 nurse and like 3 aids that were the only good that came from this location! My husband was admitted on June 10th, 2025. I never did a tour, so I feel responsible for that part. But the moment I got there to meet up with my husband I was very disappointed. But neither of us had ever done the whole rehab thing before and he, at first, wanted to give it a try. 9 days later he had a 102 fever and became delusional. From a sepsis UTI!! Why? Because the staff was not taking proper care of him! The day he went to the hospital, AGAIN, he laid in his own movements for 6 HOURS. And that day was not the only time he had been left to sit in own bodily mess. Apparently handing out food was more of a priority if he needed help at meal times. They said that they do not allow over nights so I missed big chunks of his care when I had to come home to our son. I checked out one of these "sister buildings" under the same community and they encouraged overnights and said something like "keep the heart a beat, meals can we can reheat" if he needed help durning meal times. So why not have the same rules and guidelines across the board?? Something about Summit is shady! I would strongly NOT recommend this place. They had him for 9 days and he went septic under their care. I could have lost him then because of their neglect ! His name is Arnie Coffey, the love of my life who is now my angel. He passed away September 8, 2025 due to advanced liver disease. I only include this information in case current or former employees read these and remember him. He was there from June 10th to June 19th.
