We are in the process of evaluating senior living options for my parents and The Residence at Summer Street stood out and remains at the top of our list. I randomly walked in for a tour as we feel this unannounced approach gives us a great sense and everyday feel for a community. After a warm, friendly welcome from the staff as well as a few residents in the lobby and social areas, the positive experience continued as I received a tour led by The Residence’s Executive Director. Dawn left no stone unturned and her deep knowledge of and enthusiasm for senior living and the overall operations were evidenced throughout the tour, including knowing the residents and their family members visiting on a first name and personal basis. It was encouraging to see this level of hands-on, personable and genuine care and attention to details, especially from the company’s leadership. By the end of the tour most, if not all my questions were answered before I could ask and I walked away feeling very confident that not only would my parents’ immediate needs be taken care of but that the community and care would be a fit long-term. This stage in our lives is very challenging for all involved and presents difficult decisions; it was a relief to walk away from that experience with greater confidence!

SCAMMED. Parent stayed here for 3 days. Charged us $13,000. Parent died and we were told to get the wheelchair out by day 7 so they can get the room rented. Required to Pay for first 60 days and had $5000 of administration fees. Only stayed two nights. All the staff that we tried to work with to resolve matter were fired and there was no accountability.

I can’t say enough about The Residence at Summer Street. My mother was a resident in Memory Care for 15 months. Dawn and Trayvon were a big part of her transitioning so smoothly. Dawn interacts on a regular basis with the residents and their families. The staff is amazing. They really knew my mother. I witnessed first hand the way they treated my mother with dignity right up to the very end. I highly recommend The Residence at Summer Street. Allison Keating
