    Spotless home, caring skilled staff

    I love being back at Summit Manor - it's spotless, welcoming, and truly feels like home. The staff are kind, highly trained, and treat elders like family; therapy and care were outstanding and helped me regain mobility. Activities and the Quality of Life team keep residents engaged, and management is supportive and responsive. I'm proud to be part of this community and would highly recommend it.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment: Reviews of Signature HealthCARE at Summit Manor Rehab & Wellness Center are overwhelmingly positive, with recurring praise for the staff, therapy services, cleanliness, and resident life programming. Across the summaries, reviewers consistently emphasize compassionate caregiving, effective rehabilitation, and a family-like culture that makes residents and employees feel welcomed and valued. Many families and residents say they would recommend Summit Manor, citing both clinical outcomes and quality-of-life improvements.

    Care quality and clinical services: Clinical care and rehabilitation are standout themes. Multiple reviewers call out the rehab/physical therapy team as exceptional — noting rapid, measurable improvements (for example, helping a resident walk within a month). Nurses and CNAs receive repeated praise for being caring, knowledgeable, and willing to go the extra mile. Reviewers describe staff as highly trained, professional, and purpose-driven, and several comments reference excellent coordination between therapy, nursing, and families. These patterns suggest strong clinical competence paired with attentive, family-oriented care.

    Staff culture and management: A dominant theme is the positive workplace culture. Reviews describe a supportive administration, strong teamwork, and staff who treat residents like family. This creates an atmosphere where staff express pride in their roles and feel aligned with organizational goals focused on elder care. Multiple reviewers — including employees and family members — call Summit Manor a great place to work, noting altruistic attitudes and a joy in serving residents. Supportive management and prompt responsiveness to needs are also emphasized, reinforcing perceptions of competent leadership.

    Activities, engagement, and quality of life: Summit Manor appears to invest heavily in resident engagement. The Quality of Life team is repeatedly credited with getting residents out and about, providing plentiful activities, and maintaining an enjoyable and fun atmosphere. Specific programs such as Famileo (photo-sharing/personal newspaper) and small resident-focused touches (e.g., printed photos, ice cream freezer) are mentioned, illustrating attention to social connection and daily enjoyment. Reviewers report residents making new friends, remaining active, and being happy with the available programming — all contributing to a strong quality-of-life profile.

    Facility and cleanliness: The facility’s physical environment draws frequent positive remarks. Reviewers describe Summit Manor as very clean or the "cleanest building," with comfortable accommodations and a welcoming, home-like atmosphere. Attention to small details and a well-maintained building reinforce impressions of professionalism and resident comfort.

    Family interaction and customer service: Communication and family-focused service are highlighted. Several reviewers state staff worked well with family members, were responsive and prompt, and delivered excellent customer service. This responsiveness extends to accommodating caretaking needs, involving families in care, and creating an environment where families feel grateful for the treatment their loved ones receive.

    Notable strengths and community orientation: Reviewers also emphasize Summit Manor’s broader community role and forward-looking vision. Descriptions such as "hometown facility," "team-focused," and "blessed to be part of the facility" reflect a sense of pride and local identity. Staff enthusiasm about future improvements (for example, new amenities like an ice cream freezer) indicates ongoing investment in resident experience.

    Concerns and patterns to note: Negative comments are sparse and appear isolated, but a few reviewers raised issues worth noting. There are mentions of a perceived lack of ethnic diversity (described as an "all-white environment" and concerns about "ethnicity-based staffing"). One reviewer made an unclear remark about "kitchen staff not residents," which may indicate confusion or a specific staffing/operations concern that would benefit from clarification. These concerns were not repeated widely across the dataset, but they represent potential areas for Summit Manor to review around diversity and transparency in staffing or operational practices.

    Conclusion: The aggregated reviews portray Summit Manor as a high-performing rehab and wellness center with strengths in clinical therapy, compassionate caregiving, an active quality-of-life program, and a clean, home-like facility. The prevailing narrative is one of a cohesive, mission-driven team that fosters strong resident relationships and positive outcomes. While overwhelmingly positive, a small number of comments raise diversity and staffing-related concerns that the facility may want to investigate further to ensure inclusivity and to address any operational misunderstandings. Overall, the pattern of feedback suggests Summit Manor is well-regarded by residents, families, and staff alike.

    About Signature HealthCARE at Summit Manor Rehab & Wellness Center

    Signature HealthCARE at Summit Manor Rehab & Wellness Center serves seniors who need skilled nursing care after a hospital stay or illness, and it's a for-profit facility that accepts both Medicare and Medicaid, which makes it easier on families who rely on those benefits for coverage, and though it's not part of a Continuing Care Retirement Community, it does offer a wide range of support, from medication management and 24-hour supervision to help with bathing and dressing, and it keeps an average of 77 residents with 104 certified beds, which gives folks a fair bit of company and attention. The facility keeps residents close to doctors and hospitals, with T J Health Columbia, Taylor Rural Health, and Columbia Pharmacy all nearby, and onsite pharmacy services help make sure people can get their medicines without too much hassle, plus rooms are furnished and have private bathrooms and Wi-Fi, so things are comfortable and convenient for everyday living. There are libraries, arts rooms, walking paths, and fitness spaces, as well as group activities like movie nights, outdoor events, and music, and residents can also try life enrichment activities or pet therapy if they'd like, while dental, vision, podiatry, and diet services, along with pain management, wound care, infusion, and postsurgical help are all taken care of on site by care staff and primary doctors.

    Staff provide 12 to 16 hours of nursing care a day, plus a 24-hour call system for getting help quick, and they're set up to help mobility-limited folks move around and stay comfortable, even offering specialized support for transfers and daily care needs. The building has dining rooms, a beauty shop, and spaces for counseling, and it even has security services in place, and with bereavement counseling, behavioral management, restorative therapies-like physical, occupational, and speech therapy-there's care for body and mind, and families can attend council meetings to speak up about care and work with staff to find solutions, which is good for peace of mind. Deficiencies do get noted in state inspection reports, with a total of 11, including issues with resident notifications, nutrition practices, and infections; the most recent inspection logged just one deficiency in January 2025, and staff turnover sits at 43.4%, which means residents might see new faces now and then, and nurse staffing is about 3.81 hours per person each day. While some areas show room for improvement, the center covers a lot of healthcare needs, social support, and wellness, welcoming people from different cultures and backgrounds, and putting effort into both recovery and improving daily life.
