Summit Place Assisted Living offers a warm and welcoming environment that is designed to make every resident feel unique, understood, and appreciated. Family-owned and operated, Summit Place is nestled among lush landscapes near historic Fairhaven and provides a true sense of community. From meal service, laundry assistance, and housekeeping, to nursing oversight, medication help, and discreet support with daily living activities, the focus is always on individual comfort and well-being. The caring and well-trained staff understand that each resident has their own story and preferences, so they work attentively to incorporate activities, amenities, and personal touches that reflect the unique backgrounds and interests of every individual.
A highlight of Summit Place is its commitment to fostering meaningful inter-generational relationships. The early learning and family center situated on the ground level encourages interaction between young children and residents, a practice linked to improved mental and physical health for seniors. Residents can look forward to new volunteering opportunities, creative outlets, and connections with members from the greater community, including programs like volunteering for the humane society, participating in the Local Artist Program, and engaging with the Montessori school and the Days for Girls program. Residents also enjoy frequent community outings, car shows, gardening, and more, allowing them to remain active and involved in ways that match their interests.
Summit Place provides a full continuum of care, with skilled therapy and nursing services readily available to meet any health or rehabilitation needs. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy are offered seven days a week, ensuring that residents who require extra support can access comprehensive care right on site. A consulting pharmacist works alongside licensed nurses—available daily—to monitor changing health needs and medications, making sure that nothing is overlooked. The therapy gym is spacious and state-of-the-art, and the therapy staff are both experienced and dedicated, many having served the community for years. The integrated approach means that families, staff, therapists, and residents work collaboratively, achieving better and quicker recoveries and promoting a seamless return to independent living after illness or injury.
Life at Summit Place is vibrant and filled with a variety of activities that encourage both engagement and relaxation. Recent events and daily pastimes include group exercises, sing-alongs, popcorn trolley visits, Friday Night Flicks, scenic drives, monthly birthday parties with Dennis Sakowski, watercolor painting, worship services open to all, ice cream parties led by the VFW Cooties, knitting and crochet corners, Red Hatters tea parties, and mall outings to Bellis Fair. Creative sessions like beading, painting, and the Crafty Crew group are available, as are socials such as the Men’s Lunch, Beauty Group, Card Club, and Patio Chit Chat. For those seeking quiet time or personal growth, there are worship services, Bible studies at S.P., and video-based programs like Sentimental Reflections. Visits from Jigi & Zuzu, rhythm band sessions, bowling, dominoes, bingo, and movie nights ensure that every resident has ample opportunity to pursue new or favorite activities, socialize, and simply have fun.
Summit Place is designed for both privacy and peace of mind. Each resident can enjoy their own space, knowing that help is always available at the pull of a cord. The carefully screened professional staff ensure the safety of both residents and their belongings around the clock. For those who need a temporary stay, such as a respite when their family is unavailable, short-term accommodations with 24-hour assistance offer flexibility and reassurance to both residents and their loved ones. This community is dedicated to helping residents reconnect with what they love, forge new friendships, and maintain independence in a supportive, caring setting. Those who require varying levels of care or who live with spouses needing different supports benefit from Summit Place’s close relationship with adjacent rehabilitative and nursing services, enabling convenient transitions while keeping couples together. The goal is always to allow each individual to thrive in the least restrictive, most supportive environment possible, surrounded by compassion, opportunities for joy, and a true sense of belonging.
