Summerhill Senior Community is a well-established facility located in Perry, Georgia, dedicated to providing comprehensive care for seniors, including those affected by Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias. Originally founded in 1973 and later transformed through extensive expansions and renovations, Summerhill now offers a full continuum of care designed to meet the evolving needs of its residents. The community is deeply rooted in traditional values forged through more than forty years of expertise in the healthcare field, focusing on fostering an environment that values dignity, independence, and the unique needs of every individual who calls Summerhill home.
Within its thoughtfully designed campus, Summerhill Senior Community provides a variety of living options to accommodate seniors at different stages in their lives. Residents can choose from 12 Independent Living Villas that are ideal for active seniors who cherish autonomy and a vibrant lifestyle, as well as 15 Personal Care Home Efficiency Apartments for those who require some assistance with daily activities while still maintaining a level of independence. For individuals in need of more comprehensive medical attention, there are 160 skilled nursing facility beds, including 32 specialized memory care beds specifically tailored for individuals with Alzheimer’s Disease and dementia. In addition, 20 beds are dedicated to short-term rehabilitation, supporting residents as they recover from surgery or hospitalization.
The Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care program, which began in 1993 as a specialized service, underscores Summerhill's commitment to providing targeted support for residents navigating the mid to late stages of these conditions. In these specialized memory care areas, the experienced staff delivers compassionate, individualized care within a homelike and comfortable environment. Every effort is made to maximize the quality of each individual’s life, with programming and services designed to promote wellness, personal dignity, and the highest possible degree of independence.
Summerhill’s unique continuum of care ensures that residents experiencing changes in their health do not necessarily face the upheaval of leaving their community. Seamlessly integrated services support transitions from independent living to personal care, skilled nursing, or specialized memory care without requiring a change of address. This continuity not only enhances peace of mind for residents and their families but also preserves relationships and familiarity in an environment known for its warmth and stability.
