What this means for your family
Summit Place is highly regarded for its warm, home-like environment and dedicated care team, making it a strong contender for those prioritizing emotional support. However, given the recent report of concerns regarding medication management and facility cleanliness, we strongly recommend scheduling a tour during a weekend or evening to observe staffing levels and facility maintenance firsthand.

Key Review Excerpts
“She felt comfortable, safe and well-cared for as needed. She lived there through the many months of Covid, and although she had opportunities and invites from family to come home for a period of time, she wanted to stay there.”
“The staff is stellar, each member well trained and suited for this level of caregiving. They all became like family to my Mom and as her memory deteriorated that became more and more important for us.”
“The transition was difficult for her, but the patience and understanding of the staff made her feel safe and comfortable. The staff is also extremely helpful to accommodate the family’s needs.”
