Summerfield Retirement Community sits in Orem, Utah, offering both Independent Living and Assisted Living for seniors who want safety and comfort in their later years, and folks often talk about how clean and welcoming it feels with its single-floor design, warm colors, and easy layout which makes it simple for anyone to get around, and you're right close to shopping spots and across the street from Timpanogos Hospital, which makes errands easy and gives peace of mind. The place's been locally owned since 1999 when Rebecca Landau and her partners started it, and they've worked to make sure it feels family-oriented and homey, with staff who know most folks by name and take care to treat everyone with respect and dignity.
The Independent Living side gives people their own space with full kitchens, washer and dryer, storage spots, some units even have fireplaces or a balcony or deck, and most come with built-in cupboards, private baths, and carport parking, so you really can settle in and not worry about yard work or repairs because on-site teams handle all the maintenance and even the flowers and gardens outside, plus folks can bring their pets. The Assisted Living side offers studio and one-bedroom apartments, each with its own kitchenette and walk-in bath, set up so it's easy to move around if you use a walker or wheelchair, and staff are always close by, with a 24-hour emergency call-light system in every room, and extra help for things like bathing, dressing, taking medicine, and checking health needs, including diabetic care and help for those who have memory problems like Alzheimer's.
Everyone gets freshly made meals-two or three meals a day-cooked by a team that plans menus for both taste and nutrition, and with room for special diets, and all the apartments include all utilities, so there aren't extra bills to worry about. Folks spend time in common areas set up for games, crafts, movies, worship, or family visits, with deluxe units even having bigger sitting rooms for gatherings, and there's always something going-group outings, shopping trips, religious services, exercise classes, or just sitting out by the walking paths and fish ponds in the garden, looking at Mount Timpanogos. The beauty and barbershop, gym, and resident gardens are all on-site, so if you want a haircut or a workout or to get some dirt on your hands, it's all nearby.
Summerfield's philosophy centers on dignity, independence, and personal attention, and care plans get tailored to each person, often made with input from families and healthcare professionals, including part-time nurses and visiting doctors, so changes in care or needs get noticed quickly. Safety's a big focus, too, with regular checks, staff trained in emergency response, and strict attention to OSHA rules, so people can relax and enjoy their days. Faith and personal interests matter, so you'll see family parties, birthdays, and devotions planned around the year, and if folks need to pay bills online or arrange for transportation or help with something, staff make things clear and simple. The community keeps pets in mind and looks out for both small comforts and big needs, so the everyday details are covered, and you can focus more on what matters to you than on chores. Summerfield Retirement Community has built a steady reputation since 1999, keeping a high satisfaction rating from residents and staying rooted as a local, independent option, with two main kinds of living-Independent and Assisted-each shaped by the needs and wishes of the people who call it home.
