Summit Place of South Park

First off - no place is going to be home. Our loved one didn't want to go into assisted living at first but we agreed to give it a shot. The staff at Summit Place went over the top to make sure our family member was welcomed and comfortable there. They really do the extra things to make it a nice transition from home to assisted living. I can assure you no place is "perfect" - but I can attest that Summit Place does a great job of striving to be. Highly Recommended.

Summit Place of South Park was very nice and the price was good. They gave me a great discount. It's in a nice area, too. The staff is caring, patient, and they're doing a good job. They seem very helpful and would go the extra mile to take care of the residents.

This facility is located in the South Park area of Charlotte, which is very centrally located in a beautiful location. Summit Place offers both Assisted Living care and more specialized Alzheimer's or Dementia care.

All of the services are overseen by Certified Nursing Assistants and Licensed Medication Technicians, and their work is then managed by Registered Nurses or Licensed Practical Nurses.Amenities offered at this facility include such items as free transportation to appointments, all meals, tailored to the resident's choices and diets, many scheduled activities, pet friendly accommodations, Beauty Salon, Guest Rooms for families, Housekeeping, and laundry services.

Events and activities are available on a daily basis so that there are options for everyone to choose from. The facility itself is beautifully designed and well maintained. The hallways and living areas are large and easy to maneuver around in, even for someone in a wheelchair or with a walker. Everything is well lit and very clean. All of the staff that I have interacted with have been professional, knowledgeable, and caring. The ratio of staff to residents seems adequate and any requests that I have heard have been handled quickly. For someone looking for outstanding care for themselves or a relative, I would definitely recommend Summit Place. The one drawback for some people might be cost, as this facility is in an extremely expensive area of Charlotte, NC.

Summit Place of South Park is an assisted living apartment complex that we have visited many times. My husband's parents have both been living here for almost a year. They have a 1 bedroom apartment with a fully equipped kitchen and climate control settings. In my opinion this is a place where the golden years really are a wonderful part of life. In addition to a room with a view you have someone to assist you around the clock. There is even a sunny courtyard, patio swings and colorful landscaping to make your outdoor time as pleasant as possible. The apartment is well planned and there is plenty of room to move about without bumping into furniture or appliances. The colors are tasteful, and the bath is outfitted with features such as ‘grab bars' in the shower. Instead of feeling as though we are in a senior citizen's community we have the sense of being ‘at home' with the folks we love. The menu at Summit Place of South Park would make any restaurant proud. Every time we visit or call it seems as though we are hearing about the wonderful food. Yes, we have tried some of the meals and they are indeed delicious. You can be sure that no ‘hospital food' is being served at this facility. The staff goes the extra step in taking care of our family members and they take the time to keep us ‘in the loop' too. Each time we visit we are impressed with the optimism and happiness that seems to surround all of the staff members and residents. Smiles must be contagious, because everyone here seems to be beaming all the time. It can be difficult to watch your family members move into an assisted living environment. You worry if they will be happy or if they will be cared for properly. Lucky for us our folks made a very wise (and worry-free) choice.
