The Summit at Sunland Springs Assisted Living

The decision to put a loved one into an assisted living facility is one that is filled with fear, anxiety, trepidation, and of course some degree of sadness.
These feelings are for both you the person looking for a place and of course, the loved one who needs a place to call home.

The team at The Summit were incredibly helpful and understanding when I had to go through that part of the process with my mother a little over a year ago.

I was extremely impressed with the level of care and compassion my mother received for her time at The Summit.

I could go on about the wonderful facility itself and the caring individuals there.

My parting thoughts would be to visit them. Talk to them and see if they are a fit for your family.

They really were a blessing to me.

We love The Summit! Mom moved there about 1 1/2 years ago and it has been a wonderful experience. She was very nervous about leaving her home and neighborhood but The Summit staff reached out and made her feel loved. They went out of their way to help her with what she needed when she moved in, and they have continued to follow up, making sure she is comfortable. The residents are very friendly and Mom has made several new friends. I hardly ever find her at home, as she is always out playing the grand piano, or playing games or just visiting over dinner. My father-in-law is in an assisted living place in another state and the difference between that one and The Summit have been day and night. We highly recommend The Summit and enjoy going there to participate in all the activities! Thank you Scott, Lori, Ginger, Tia, Jo, Zarina, Kim, Don, Bill, Chelsea..the list goes on and on.

During an extremely difficult time amidst COVID protocols, a death in the family, and a mother with Dementia, The Summit at Sunland became our pilot boat. Ginger, in sales, spent hours helping me with tours and plans, and information before the move. She guided me through the transfer trauma, and celebrates with me now that my mother is a thriving member of the Summit community. Lori, the outreach director, is dedicated to enhancing each resident’s life by scheduling events, some fun and some necessary, such as facility vaccination clinics. Her work weaves staff and residents together into a close-knit community. Scott, the head of maintenance at the time, hung Mom’s pictures and wall clock. He made sure her studio was 110% perfect. Now as the executive director, Scott is a hands-on leader. He leads with a smile, positive spirits, and even an occasional hula dance. I love spending time at The Summit, but most importantly, my mother is involved and content in her community. It’s the perfect place for her to age gracefully.
