Hoffman SummerWood Community was a very nice community. It's a Jewish community pretty much. It was very friendly and I met the rabbi there. My friend is a pretty devout Catholic, and I thought this might not be the best place for her. I didn't see a lot of Christian things going on. It's not all Jewish, obviously, but it was a different environment than the other places that I saw. It's a very warm community and a very pleasant environment. They have book clubs, chess clubs, and writing clubs. They'd go on field trips to the shopping centers and whatnot.

Hoffman SummerWood Community was overall really good. We sampled some of the pastries that they offer, which were good. They had a life-alert pendant that comes standard with your rent. As long as you're within a certain radius of the facility, you have that available to you and you don't have to pay anything extra. They pretty much have the same things as the other places. The staff during the tour was very good. They had a great menu that they offered for lunch and dinner.

Hoffman SummerWood generates a lot of people of the Jewish faith. It is basically built by Jewish people, so the food is kosher, and the majority of their residents are Jewish. There is nothing wrong with that, but I didn't think my parents would acclimate to that type of environment. It was clean and beautiful, but it wasn't what my mom and dad would need. The staff was excellent. The individual that showed us around was great. She answered a lot of questions. At the end, she actually had the chef prepare three meals for me to bring back for my mom and dad. It was a salmon salad, which was just very lovely. It was absolutely beautiful. However, it would have been nice if the grounds were kept up a little bit more. There were patio chairs tipped over, and it could have been because it was raining the night before, but other than that, it was absolutely gorgeous, it just wasn't what my parents would probably feel comfortable in. The rooms were beautiful, but I was looking for a place that had a patio. I was a little discouraged that they didn't have that because that's like a big piece of what would probably sell my mom, the opportunity for her to break out of her room and have a space of her own and not necessarily to have to walk through the whole facility to go out into the courtyard.

Provider Response

Dear Dayna, We want to first and foremost thank you generously for taking the time to provide this resourceful feedback for others to view. We appreciate your time, and are glad to hear of the positive things that you have shared. We do features services and amenities that those of the Jewish faith and values find appealing as there are no other communities in the area that offer Fine Kosher dining and onsite observances. However, we do like to note that all individuals, regardless of their faith, observance level or interests are welcome here at Hoffman SummerWood, and we are happy to offer programs and activities that enrich the lives of all. With that being said, we understand and respect each families' decision and preference for community features. We would like to apologize for our patio area's temporary tipped chairs from the previous nights rainfall; but we are glad to hear that you found the rest of the grounds and gardens satisfactory. We greatly appreciate your feedback on the apartment private porch & patios, and look forward to continuing to improve the overall quality of our community, grounds and building with updates each year. We thank you again for your insightful feedback, and are happy to welcome your family back onsite at any time if you would like to take a second tour; we have made quite a few community updates since your visit and would be happy to show you them. Kindly, The Hoffman SummerWood Community

A kosher cuisine was a must for my mom when I moved her up from Florida to be close to me, so I was very relieved to find that the only kosher facility in the area was also one of the most beautiful. My mom has been living at SummerWood for close to 12 years now! She has been very happy here and she is well taken care of. She is kept engaged continually with interesting activities and has many friends. SummerWood truly was the ideal solution for our family.

Both my parents were residents of Summerwood. As their oldest child I felt it was my responsibility to ensure they were in a clean and safe environment. Summerwood offered that but so much more. From the delicious meals served in a lovely dining room, to the in-house events, parties, entertainment and activities as well as the trips offered off the property, they could do as much or as little as they wanted. The apartments are lovely and brand-new looking. Mom and Dad's was kept very clean. On one occasion I was notified by the staff nurse that my Dad was ill and they handled getting him to the hospital. It was comforting to know that both Mom and Dad were always being looked after and I didn't have to worry. The staff was a pleasure to work and they went above and beyond to ensure Mom and Dad were content and happy. My parents also found the staff to be very caring and fun. I highly recommend Summerwood for your loved ones (or yourself!).

We did not care for Hoffman Summerwood. It was awfully quiet and kind of empty. I also did not care for the staff. They did not interact nicely with the residents.
