The Summit

The Summit, built in 2015, sits in Hockessin, Delaware, and is a senior living community that offers several living choices, including Independent Senior Living, Senior Assisted Living, and SHINE® Memory Care for those dealing with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, with care that can be adjusted if a resident's health needs change, and you'll find respite and short-term housing options as well. Staff remain on site 24/7 to provide help with daily activities, and safety and housing options get discussed with residents and their families. The community includes well-kept and comfortable residences, with options like the Vermillion, Yale, and Turret floor plans, and welcomes pets. Residents can get help through programs such as Ambassadors Club, Military Veterans Program, Expressions Concierge, and Housekeeping & Maintenance, while transportation is available through the Connections service. There's a restaurant-style Sensations Dining program, where a trained chef and culinary team prepare simple and healthy meals, and residents can enjoy concerts, arts, music, live entertainment, and the Celebrations activities and events program along with a Dimensions Health & Fitness program. The SHINE® Memory Care and the specialized memory care community have spaces designed to make movement safe and reduce confusion. The facility offers resources for families about the stages of dementia, early signs, prevention, and legal and financial planning, and shares information through outlets like The Disappearing Mind podcast. Support for companionship, health and wellness, and other senior concerns are available, and the atmosphere is made to be both comfortable and resort-like, with features and caregivers focused on promoting happiness and health. The Summit belongs to Discovery Senior Living and maintains a continuum of care so residents can stay even if their needs change.
