TV goes out with every storm. No one cares or does anything to get it back. For an elderly person with nothing else to do this is awful. They are understaffed and from time to time do not do the housekeeping room cleaning that is supposed to be part of the rent. They add care points with no documentation or explanation that runs up the bill a lot. No one can explain what was done to justify the charges. No one is there on weekends and the snack bar is frequently empty.

Although my mother ended up at another facility due to the care she needed at the time, Tyler and his team at The Summit were incredible! It is a beautiful facility, with a caring team!<br><br>I believe in top down leadership, and Tyler exemplifies the leadership you’d hope for from a facility with whom you’re entrusting the well-being of your loved one!<br><br>Many thanks to Tyler and his team!!!

We moved our mom to The Summit this fall. We have had such a good experience.. Brooke and her team are some of the kindest people I have met and truly care about our mom’s well being. Alzheimer’s is heartbreaking. The staff at The Summit are educated and trained in caring for all types of dementia. Bonus…The facility is also always clean and cheerful.
