What this means for your family
This facility is highly recommended for families seeking specialized Huntington's disease care, with a strong emphasis on compassionate, family-like staff support. However, because there are historical reports of neglect and communication issues, we strongly advise families to conduct unannounced visits and ask specifically about current staffing ratios and the process for reporting concerns to management.

Key Review Excerpts
“After a long and exhaustive search across the country for the absolute best Huntington’s care, my husband moved into Summerfield. I spent a month in the area to help create a smooth transition for each of us. In that time, I spent the majority of my days at Summerfield and I was blown away at the compassion and care each member of their staff exudes for every resident.”
“My daughter Ginney has been at Summerfield for 5 years, She has always received the very best care by the entire staff. The staff is the most loving and caring that I have ever observed anywhere.”
“Aperion Summerfield is an absolutely amazing place. I have had a brother-in-law and a sister-in-law who both had Huntington’s disease and both became residents there during the final stages of the disease. The staff there is amazing. Summerfield is cleaner than any other nursing home/assisted living facility I have ever visited.”
