The Summit of Germantown sits as a senior living community offering a wide range of living options like independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing, all managed by Grace Management, Inc., which has been around for over forty years. Residents can pick from alcove, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom floor plans, all with full kitchens or kitchenettes, private patios or balconies, and handy features like washer and dryer in each unit, individual climate controls, cable or satellite TV, and private outdoor spaces if they want to relax outside or have plants. The community has several common areas, including a fitness room, a game room, a library, and places where people gather to visit or take part in activities, and there's a dining room with wide views of the courtyard and gardens that makes mealtimes pleasant. For eating, there's the Evergreen Grille for on-site restaurant meals, private dining rooms for visitors or special occasions, and a dining hall that serves Graceful Dining™ meals focused on good nutrition. Some people like to have meals delivered to their rooms or invite guests, and there's room service if needed.
