What this means for your family
While Summit City offers specialized respiratory and rehab services that many families find beneficial, the recent increase in reports regarding cleanliness and patient safety is concerning. We strongly recommend that you conduct an unannounced visit, particularly on a weekend, to observe staffing levels and the environment firsthand before making a decision.

Key Review Excerpts
“The nurses, CNA’s, Activity ladies are awesome! We feel confident about dad’s care because we know how much they care about him. The unit is always clean and smells good!”
“Their therapists - PT, OT and respiratory - made great strides with mom while maintaining her overall lung health. Audrey, mom's case manager was awesome! She kept us in the loop and was so helpful transitioning her to home.”
“Don't take your family or friends here! Very bad experience with a close family friend that was mistreated and talked down to. Family came in to visit and found his oxygen turned down to 3 when it's supposed to be at 8.”
