Summit Place of South Park sits in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by classic residential homes, which gives it a cozy, homelike feel. The community offers different types of senior care, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and respite and transitional care, so folks with different needs can find some support here. Assisted living residents get help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and medication management, allowing them to stay as independent as possible while still getting the help they need, and there's full nursing care on site around the clock, too. The memory care program keeps seniors with Alzheimer's or other dementias in a safe and respectful place-the staff use special memory care techniques, with a secure building and a system that alerts staff if someone tries to wander, plus bracelets for residents likely to leave the building. People who need extra help with behavior or mobility, like those who need assisted transfers or have difficult behaviors, can sometimes be accepted, as the community's equipped for that.
Living options range from private studios to one-bedroom senior apartments, each with their own bathrooms and easy access to shared areas by elevators. Meals come restaurant-style, with a menu that includes favorites like fried chicken and mashed potatoes, and private dining rooms are made available for family and special occasions. The dining rooms themselves are set up with white tablecloths, maroon napkins, and a few decorative touches, making it feel a bit more special, and there's also a MyChoice dining program, offering some flexibility in meals. The kitchen staff prepares special diet options including vegetarian meals, and there's room service when needed. Weekly housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance are part of the deal, so apartments stay tidy and comfortable. Residents can bring pets, like a dog or cat, and there's even a dog park and pet therapy activities.
Amenities cover a lot of ground, with a library that has a grand piano and shelves of books, a theater room with reclining seats, and indoor and outdoor pools. There's a salon and barbershop, a chapel, a cocktail lounge, and a card and game room, plus a fitness center for exercise classes like yoga and stretching. Residents can join clubs and interest groups, enjoy outings and social events, or spend time in outdoor areas like the trellis-covered patio, a pond, a lake, community gardens, and walking paths with flower gardens and a gazebo. The memory care area even has its own secured outdoor patio and a sensory garden.
Summit Place of South Park offers lots of day-to-day options to keep busy, from group trips and movie nights to art and cooking classes, trivia, brain fitness, gardening, Wii bowling, and wine tasting. There are on-site RN and LPN staff, Medication Care Managers and technicians, and visiting professionals like nurses, podiatrists, and physical, occupational, and speech therapists, all available as needed. Residents who use wheelchairs or need lifts or other equipment can get help here, and folks with diabetes, incontinence, or other specialized care requirements are supported, too. Anyone needing short-term help can look into respite stays, and there's outpatient rehabilitation for both residents and non-residents, with therapy tailored to boosting strength, mobility, and independence.
Transportation services include both resident parking and free rides to appointments or outings, and there's always someone awake and on staff in case help's needed overnight. Across the apartments and outdoor spaces, the facility emphasizes safety and comfort, from emergency response systems to secured memory care units. Regular lifestyle, wellness, and enrichment programs add to the daily routine, and for those who wish, there are on-site religious services, plus a community computer area and access to cable, internet, and satellite TV in the rooms. Volunteers come in, and residents can join in on community service when they want. The place tries to balance privacy, assistance, and ways for folks to stay active and engaged for adults 55 and older, keeping everything simple and easy to access.
