My mother lived here since 2006 and I couldn't be happier with her care. The campus is beautiful, large and well kept - cottages, apartments and studios, walking paths, pond, store, art studio, movie theater and frequent bus outings. Staff are warm, professional and responsive (24-hour nursing, quick fall response, strong security); management is open and helpful. Dining is restaurant-style and delicious, with social meals and a variety of menus. There's a huge range of activities - exercise, bocce, dancing, choir, theater trips, classes - and a real sense of community. Note: the Care Center is closing so residents needing more help may have to relocate; price and distance may not suit everyone. Overall: caring people, great food, active life - I loved it.
About Summer House Memory Care at Fredericka Manor
Summer House Memory Care at Fredericka Manor sits on a 24-acre campus with big trees and walking paths, offering a calm and secure place for people with Alzheimer's or other memory loss. The neighborhood has 22 cottages, each with modern comforts, classic styling, and its own front porch, which helps bring a homelike feeling for residents. Each detail, from quiet spaces and garden pathways to the protected outdoor courtyard, encourages safety and comfort, with doors and wander monitoring for everyone's wellbeing. The personal care team is trained in memory care and stays on site around the clock, helping with bathing, dressing, medication, and other daily needs, always focusing on dignity and the unique needs of each resident.
The community has family-style dining three times a day, plus snacks, and can handle special diets. Meals happen in a comfortable home-style dining room, and there's a clubhouse and activity room where residents join in music therapy, special programs like iN2L entertainment, and even spend time in a sensory room designed to soothe agitation. Special events, creative activities, and outings keep days busy, and there's help for families, too, through counseling and social services. Residents receive housekeeping, laundry, and transportation to medical appointments, and nurses help manage care, doctor visits, medication, and diabetic and incontinence support.
Each person gets a care plan set up for their needs, including behavioral support for cognitive changes, along with regular visits from the Wellness Clinic and even first aid when needed. The facility's safety features, escorted access, and delayed egress doors give everyone peace of mind. The Summer House Memory Care community is part of the wider Fredericka Manor, which lets residents stay connected as needs change, and the focus on a close-knit, neighborly setting gives residents real chances to thrive in mind, body, and spirit, no matter the stage of memory loss. There's always support from skilled staff, warm settings, and many ways for people to connect, express themselves, or just spend quiet time looking out over lovely gardens from their front porch.
