Overall Review of The Summit

common 24 reviews mention this

Staff are caring and professional

Staff responsiveness and professionalism are repeatedly mentioned by residents and families.

Across the reviews, families and residents describe staff who are helpful, attentive, and caring, including support during health events and everyday needs. Several reviewers also mention professionals staying in touch with family members and coordinating guidance, while others highlight staff support that goes beyond basic expectations. There are also complaints about staff not following orders, ignoring call bells, or communication problems during discharge, which may affect day-to-day confidence for some families.

common 11 reviews mention this

Dining is a standout daily perk

Dining quality is a frequent positive, with menus tailored to needs.

Multiple reviews praise the food as excellent, varied, and satisfying, including an expansive dinner menu. Several residents or families specifically note meal choices tailored to preferences or dietary requirements, and some describe restaurant-style dining and the ability to select meals. A smaller number of reviews take the opposite view, describing declined food quality, so dining seems to be a strong theme with occasional dissatisfaction.

Several reviewers emphasize cleanliness, describing the facility as spotless, very well kept, and free of unpleasant odors.

Activities and transportation keep life full

Planned activities and provided transportation are repeatedly cited as benefits.

Residents mention groups, scheduled activities, and excursions off campus, along with on-site entertainment and opportunities for learning and fun. Transportation is also a common point, with reviews describing rides to medical appointments and errands. One nursing-related review calls out limited activity programming, which suggests the experience can vary by setting and care level.

Care follow-through varies by experience

Some families report serious gaps in care follow-through and communication.

While many reviews describe good care, several describe breakdowns such as missed scheduled bathing, delays in wound care, and call bell responses that did not meet expectations. Others mention discharge communication and coordination issues, including families feeling sent between roles to get paperwork completed. A small number of highly critical accounts also describe severe outcomes and lack of timely intervention, which stands in contrast to the more positive care experiences.
