I had the pleasure of visiting a friend at her new residence for the first time, and I was quite impressed by how tidy it was. She appeared very content, and the staff members were notably friendly.

I would recommend Sumner Place to anyone. I have always found the staff to be uplifting and helpful. I worried about putting mom into an extended care but they have made Mom happy and engaged in life. Everyone is friendly and will do just about anything to make her stay a positive one.
