My sister and I recently made an unannounced "visit" to Summit View Terrace on behalf of our elderly mother whom may be in need of some assistance opposed to her current "independent" living situation. A person in the medical field suggested we take a look at it as they frequent the facility as a part of their employment and had positive words to say about it. We were impressed. We did the sniff test as we entered thru the doors and found no indication of odors...and better yet...no use of air fresheners, febreeze etc to cover up odors. It was clean and peaceful with a homey feel. We wandered around a bit until we were greeted by Carol. She was awesome. Down to earth, pleasant and very informative. She gave us a tour and we were so shocked when we asked how many residents reside there! Only 25 which is great! The private room was a good sized room, comfortable and the walk in shower was a huge bonus. The staff we met along the tour were very nice. The building is open and airy with tons of space. Summit View will definitely be the go to place if and when our mother is ready! We didn't even know it existed! Keep up the good work!

My aunt has resided at SummitView Terrace for nearly one year. Our family is very happy and content with excellent care she is given and the wonderful communication between my aunt, staff and family members. We are very lucky to have found such a warm and caring facility for our aunt.

So many of the reviews are from 2 and 3 years ago. Right now, December 2020, my sister is happy to be there. It's been about 3 years since she moved there and she knows the names of everybody - residents and staff. She looks forward to the activities, loves the library there and also the services of Mid-Continent Library and their librarians. She has made some dear friends.<br>A few incidents have upset her in the past but they were mostly misunderstandings. She's not crazy about the "picnic" style meals but it would be hard to satisfy all the residents 3 times a day.<br>Covid-19 regulations have been strictly followed. We're all eager to be done with them once the pandemic passes.
