My short-term rehabilitation at Summit Square encountered exceptional care with the doctors, therapist, nurses. The level of concern for my illness, the kindness and respect helped with my recovery. Thank you Summit Square for preparing me for my return home.

All staff were exceptional in all they do for my sister-in-law. From cleaning staff to pastoral to nursing to therapy to play they all showed kindness love and acceptance from day one. When she unexpectedly passed, the staff felt and showed their pain as they became our family. You just don’t get that kind of love and care very often these days. Thank you Summit Square for being our family.

My parents have been living at Summit for about 1 1/2 years now. Superb facility! They currently live in a beautiful independent living apartment, but both of them have spent time in the skilled nursing area while recovering from various medical conditions. The staff is superb and personable, the nursing care is excellent! If one if them has a minor boo boo they just need to call for a nurse to see them, and they get immediate recommendations and/or treatment. The grounds and facility are lovely, and the residents equally wonderful. This is a high quality facility where your loved ones will never be neglected or mistreated. The ability to cover all kinds of care, from independent living, to nursing, to memory care, until the end is one of the reasons my parents chose this place so they can be together throughout their final years, and they rave about Summit to anyone visiting or touring, with good reason.

What sort of health care providers are you? You deny a 80 year old lady care because they choose not to get vaccinated. It's a shame Augusta County residents have to put up with this. People talk about a woman's right to make decisions with her own body. Ridiculous

My mother was a patient in the Health Care section of Summit Square for 3 weeks after falling and breaking her knee cap and wrist. She could not have received better care. Everyone was compassionate, caring, professional, and attentive. I would not hesitate to have either of my parents return to Summit Square should the need arise!! Thank you Summit Square for all your help and care for my Mom ❤️
