Summer Place experience

The staff is wonderful and part of what makes this place a haven. The food, for the most part, is very good. The cleaning staff is almost always available and the common areas are spotless. I have a studio apartment that is perfect from and my pet. I also have a balcony and a huge closet. I feel as though I am finally home. I must include that the people who live here consider this a community. We are all here for each other.

Good vibes at Summer Place

5 stars for Summer Place. They have great staff. My mother was able to choose the size of her apartment, so that was nice. She says that she's "getting used" to the food. I would definitely recommend the community to others who are searching for senior living.

Summer Place was an absolutely beautiful place, there are so many things for the residents to do, there’s a van that takes residents out anywhere they need to go. The menu/food is like eating in a 5 star restaurant. Your family member will be extremely happy living here.

Would highly recommend

5 star assistance from a knowledgeable and professional staff. They carefully considered my brother's unique needs. All the places referred to us were top notch facilities. My brother had the care, companionship, great food, and various activities available to him. I am pleased to say my relationship with A Place for Mom was very helpful when I didn't know where to turn in order to move him.

Summer Place

It is a warm and attractive place. Staff is very accommodating and friendly. It is within walking distance to CVS and restaurants, etc. The place is well mainained. The bus takes residents to doctors visits, grocery shopping, and other places. Sure, some of the meals are not to my liking, but that is common to all places. There are always alternatives offered. Personally, I feel at home here and I am happy.

Independent living, location, management is very friendly, responsive and hands-on. If someone is going here for the food...this is the wrong place. This is a "nursing home" without nursing staff....I would recommend they have a staff member on the premise overnight...which they currently do not have...I

Wonderful residential housing option

[name removed], the sales representative for leasing units is extremely helpful. He showed us units available. All units were very nice , clean and freshly painted. [name removed] and staff knew all residents names, and all were very friendly. Housekeeping staff are in charge of one floor, so they really get to know the residents on their floor. Staff seems to really care.

I love it here and my dog loves it here. If I eat here I just go dinner. I have gone to dinner 3 times and have had one good meal. My first meal the pasta was dry, the second meal the asparagus was the size of toothpicks. I'm sure the chef can do better and I will try dinner again.

Finding Home

I really love living here. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Many activities are entertaining. I personally enjoy most of the meals. There would never be total agreement on food for everyone. I love my space and my daily routine. Walking around the facility is lovely. Once around is a quarter mile and it makes me want to walk more every day. I have been here for only a month and a half and I know nothing is 100 percent, but for me, I am home!

Nice community

The people are nice. They are responsive. They have activities but not a ton of them. It's not as fancy as some places. But has good light and enough things to do and space. It has a nice outside walking path for exercise. The rooms have little balconies for private outside space.

People are very friendly,

Everyone is helpful. The activities are varied, something for everyone. You can participate or not. The food is ok and varied. They put leftovers in a fridge and you can take anything from there. There is always fruit available. There are outings you can sign up for. There are also stores nearby if you want to walk to them. Once a week they bus people to Market Basket. You can sign up for a ride to appointments.. The best thing are the staff especially [name removed] on the front desk. Everyone makes you feel welcome. It can truly be a home.

Review for Summer Place

Overall, I love it here. However, I would not recommend going to a retirement home like this with a guy dog, because everyone wants to pet it, feed it and all that stuff. I also think the rent goes up faster than the cost of living raises due. Other than that, though, I'm very happy here and love it and glad that I went through A Place For Mom for this choice.
