Summerhill Assisted Living, part of Summerhill Senior Community in Perry, Georgia, has a rich history of providing quality care to the senior community, with roots dating back to the early 1970s. Over the decades, Summerhill has continuously expanded its services and facilities to meet the evolving needs of its residents. Initially established as a small nursing home, the community has grown to offer a full continuum of care, ensuring that seniors at all stages of aging can find the support and assistance they require within a familiar environment.
Today, Summerhill Senior Community features a diverse range of living options designed to accommodate residents seeking varying levels of independence and assistance. The campus includes 12 Independent Living Villas for those who wish to maintain an active lifestyle with minimal assistance, as well as 15 Personal Care Home Efficiency Apartments for individuals who benefit from daily support with activities of living while retaining a sense of autonomy. For residents requiring more comprehensive care, the community provides 160 skilled nursing facility beds, including 32 dedicated to Specialized Memory Care and 20 for short-term rehabilitation following surgery or hospitalization.
Summerhill Assisted Living is especially known for its individualized approach, prioritizing dignity, independence, and the unique needs of each resident. Specialized programs, such as care for individuals with mid-stage and late-stage Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementia, exemplify the commitment to offering tailored support within a compassionate, homelike atmosphere. The blend of traditional values and more than four decades of healthcare experience shapes a culture that promotes wellness, healing, and a strong sense of community.
One of the distinguishing features of Summerhill’s model is its seamless continuum of care. Residents can transition between different types and levels of assistance as their health needs change, all without the disruption of moving to a new location. This approach provides both residents and their loved ones with confidence and peace of mind, knowing that support is always available as circumstances evolve.
Over the years, Summerhill Senior Community has been recognized for its dedication to quality care. Notable achievements include the AHCA Bronze National Quality Award in both 2015 and 2019, and the prestigious AHCA Silver National Quality Award in 2022, acknowledging the community’s ongoing pursuit of excellence.
