Summit Place in Glassboro, New Jersey, sits close to Rowan College and Lakeside Park, and you'll notice that the place feels welcoming and relaxed the moment you walk in, with an open floor plan, lots of natural light, lounges, and a peaceful courtyard where folks like to sit and visit. The community offers different types of living spaces such as studios, one-bedroom apartments, single rooms, and semi-private rooms, so people can choose what suits them, and every unit lets you bring some personal things, and you'll find kitchenettes, privacy, and spots for keepsakes, while shared spaces like a recreation room, activity area, dining rooms, patios, porches, and gardens are all nearby so it's never a long walk to join in. The staff here help with things like bathing, dressing, housekeeping, and medication, and certified folks handle physical therapy, nursing care, and memory care right on site, while folks who need a short stay after surgery or for caregiver breaks can use the respite care program that fits many needs.
Summit Place's organized activities keep people busy and connected, with a list that includes bingo, live music from a resident group, story time, gardening, a cooking club, line dancing, arts and crafts, and even trips into town for shopping and dining, plus occasional barbecue or picnic gatherings, so there's always a way to meet with others and stay occupied, and for those looking for quieter moments, there's a library and a computer room, too. Pets are allowed here because the community understands how much comfort they bring, and pet therapy is available for those who want it, with guest meal times, overnight guests, and private dining rooms all adding to a home-like feeling that welcomes loved ones. The staff offer laundry for linens and weekly cleaning, and you can get haircuts and barber service without leaving the building, with room service for meals and maintenance staff to fix things in your apartment, so daily chores don't get in the way of enjoying your day, and if you want extra help, private cleaning and dry cleaning services are here too.
Safety is a priority, and Summit Place has a state license with skilled staff who are always available, including those trained to help memory care residents, and the community covers many needs through assisted living, independent living, and even a nursing home level of care on the same campus, which makes it easier to adjust support as needs change. There's help with care planning, financial advice, and VA benefits, plus on-site parking for residents and visitors, scheduled and free rides for those needing to get around, and English language services available, so folks from all backgrounds feel welcome and supported. Summit Place helps seniors keep their minds and bodies active, and staff are praised for really listening and taking time to understand every person's situation-folks say the team here is big enough and experienced enough to encourage socialization and respond to challenges with kindness and skill, and the Fast Track program even allows new residents to move in within a day if needed, which helps families during tough times. Overall, everything about Summit Place seems built for keeping seniors comfortable, safe, and content in a friendly place that isn't too fancy and doesn't make a fuss, but just quietly puts residents first.
