Summerfield of Hammond

The staff at Summerfield of Hammond assisted living is just very knowledgeable, very caring, and very devoted to their clientele. I haven't eaten there, but my dad always says the food was good. The upkeep is excellent too. There are a couple of patios and there's also a little lake in the back. They've built a place to sit around by the lake and read. When you first walk in, there's a great room, with a fireplace and it's all very nice. They have bingo and they get people involved. They also have little exercises you can do, like sitting in a chair to try to keep your upper muscles in shape. They go to different stores, to the movies, and different things like that too.

Summerfield of Hammond is very clean. It's a new construction, so it's very nice, and the staff is very friendly. They're more than willing to work with us on everything. My dad said the food isn't that bad. They have lots of activities like bingo nights and arts and crafts.

Summerfield of Hammond is my second choice. It came highly recommended. It was at our price point as well. The staff was very nice and very helpful. The rooms need to be updated. The cabinetry did not match the cabinetry in the bathroom. They seemed to have a lot of activities, which was nice and I mean they had a calendar of activities which was good. There was a courtyard, they were building a golf tee thing, they were getting ready to add fish to their pond, they were getting ready to add a walkway onto the pond, a pier so that you can go fishing. We didn't see it, but they were doing that.

My mother-in-law is currently in Summerfield of Hammond. She's only been there for only a week. So far, we're very pleased. It's a very pleasant place, my husband's been mostly dealing with them, but it sounds like the people who work there are very friendly, and they're willing to work with you whatever needs to be done. So far she seems to be happy there, so I can't really say anything bad about them. When we were getting everything set up to get her in there, we had no problems whatsoever. They were very detailed on what we needed to do, they helped us when we ran into a problem, and it was really very nice. She said the food is great; she loves the food. I think it's only been open for about five years. Everything is bright, and everything looks brand new. They do have activities, but they don't make the residents clearly aware of them, it's almost like you have to find out on your own.

My mom has been there for over a year. We believe God put it there for us. Facility is nice, her apartment is spacious, and handicapped accessible, the food is good for institution food, but the personnel is what makes us love it. Erika and Sheila stand out as loving caregivers(some are better than others). Gloria greets me with a smile every time I walk in (and I go frequently), the gentleman (I forgot his name) that transports the residents tries to accommodate them, and make sure they’re safe. Many activities, parties, crafts, etc. Different levels of assistance available. Nothing’s perfect, but it’s a good place for our mom.

Summerfield of Hammond gave us a tour and lunch. It was very nice. They showed us the sitting areas, and they took us to two different apartments. The one-bedroom was empty but very nice. We had seen a studio. Someone was living in it, but she had given permission for them to show it to us, and it was very nice. The only thing that my parent did have a little problem with was the walking. It was hard for them to walk a distance. We stopped every now and then. We got my dad a wheelchair, but they had several small rest areas along the way. We had lunch, which was very nice. We didn't see anything happening; we were there at lunch time. They told us about different activities that they do. My parents were impressed with this place. The staff members were very friendly. The food was very good. It was excellent. It's a new building only a couple of years old.

I moved mom into Summerfield. The people seem more upbeat and the room is bigger than other places, which I like a lot. However, it could use a little more natural lighting. There's happy hour on Fridays, music, and she occasionally plays Bingo. She used to play mind games, and she's played Wii bowling. They go every week (or every other week) to stores and restaurants. They offer a lot more than what she needs. They have laundry facilities and a 24-hour nurse on staff.

I visited Summerfield. It was very good, spacious, and the people were really nice. It was my favorite of the facilities I visited, except that it was a little far away. Some residents were doing a type of craft while I was there. The apartments were spacious, and we saw different sized places.

I went to Summerfield for assisted living. The facility was really nice. I think they were open for about seven months, and it was very clean. They were in the dining hall when I was there. They had a walking trail, they had benches on the outside, they had a pond, and a gathering hall for the residents. I could move in there. The staff was very informative, very cordial, and she introduced me to a lot of the residents there.

Everything at Summerfield of Hammond has been outstanding. My parents like the food and there are multiple activities every day. The staff is very caring, friendly, and shows genuine concern for my parents. I have no complaints at all and neither do my parents. They have a 1-bedroom apartment with a completely accessible bathroom, a full size refrigerator/freezer, a microwave oven, a sink, air conditioning in each room, ceiling fan in each room, and a nice walk-in closet. They have regular meals prepared every day, but they have an extensive menu, which they call the bistro menu. So, if you don’t like the main meal they have prepared, you can order off the bistro menu.
