My dad was recuperating from leg surgery at the Summit and they were amazing. The food looked and smelled amazing. The staff was very attentive and did everything they could to make his stay pleasant.

I took a tour of the facilities looking for options for my mom, and I was extremely impressed by the facilities. The grounds are beautiful, the staff is extremely nice, and the independent living apartment was very nice. The best part is that everything is there for my mom.

I toured the Summit twice now with my Dad. We both thought it was a beautiful facility. Dad ultimately chose another senior living community only because he wanted a different view than the one in the available apartment at the time.

We were warmly greeted and we were extremely impressed with the azthetics of the facility. As we took our tour Tressa was very patient and extremely informative. We looked at four different apartments. Each one had very redeeming factors from color to windows . We saw several of the residents while on our tour. All appeared to be quite happy. The Summit is a very clean, well maintained, modern facility. From talking with Tressa it's obvious the residents at The Summit are much more than an income. They are family and the employees treat each and every person there as one of their family members. I would love to spend my remaining days at The Summit.
