What Our Residents Say
"Summer House is now my Happy Place. My husband and I decided (on our own) to fund a new home. We are both in our upper 80's and felt it was time to find an assisted living home while we could still enjoy the living ease. The staff is fantastic - always something to do if we wanted. The meals are improving and open to suggestions. The living apartments are quiet and with our own furnishings very comfortable. The grounds are well kept which makes the delightful to stroll in nice weather."
