Summerfield Estates was clean, and the people were very personable. They invited us for lunch, and the food was good. We just had a problem with the space; it wasn't large enough for us. It had a kitchenette type of area, but we wanted more of a bigger kitchen.
The person who gave us the tour was good. She was very personable and helpful in answering all of our questions. We didn't have any problem whatsoever with her.
The dining area was very pleasant. They had tables spaced nicely and far apart, so the wheelchairs could get through. It was decorated really well too. The dining area, the tables, and the chairs were all of a very nice quality.
They were playing a game when we were there. They were doing it in the activity room, and everybody seemed to be enjoying it. They said they have bingo sometimes, and I think they had a singer come in to entertain a couple of times. They had a list of things that they did, and they gave us a list of the weekly activities. They had a bus to take people where they needed to go like other appointments or whatsoever. They had a staff dietician, and they offer you three meals a day. They were nutritious. It had housekeeping also.
It had a lot of things for older people, but my husband and I didn't really feel like we were that old. They have people in their 80s and 90s there.

My sister has moved into Summerfield Estates. It's a wonderful community. All of the residents are very friendly and kind. All of the employees and staff are wonderful. No complaints. The food is delicious. The laundry services are convenient and right there close to her room. Everything is excellent. All of the people are so friendly. When I go to visit, everyone speaks to you as you're walking through. She enjoys all the activities that they offer there. They play cards, bingo, dominoes, and toss bean bags. They had a social and a carnival event since she has been there. They're working on a big table puzzle. She loves all of it.

My father-in-law has moved into Summerfield Estates. He likes it, and the staff and the residents are really friendly. They offered him transportation to dialysis. The staff members are helpful, attentive, welcoming, and long-term employees. It's well landscaped and quiet, and it's in a nice location. They have a barbershop, a hair salon in the facility, animals are welcome, there are birds, and there's a pool table. It has lots of perks.

I visited Summerfield Estates. It was a good experience. The staff was very understanding. I saw a two-bedroom, and it was decent. It had a refrigerator, but they didn't have stoves in there. My parents were looking for a stove and that was the only thing that was concerning them, because they really like to cook. It's liveable. They served brown rice, baked chicken, and a roll, and it was decent.

We went to Summerfield Estates. They were wonderful. Nate was wonderful, and he followed up several times afterward until I finally said just take us off the list for right now because we're letting my brother-in-law make his own decisions. The room we saw was perfect. It had a refrigerator and a kitchenette, but you had to bring a microwave, and it didn't have a stove. The staff was awesome.

I've been in Summerfield Estates, and it's been a good experience. The people are friendly, and they've got good staff. The food is alright; I like most of it. The apartments are very nice. It's convenient to my sons. I've got a one-bedroom apartment, and it's adequate. They provide housecleaning, and activities include bingo, beanbag baseball, dominoes, and puzzles. It was in my price range.

Summerfield Estates was a place that I would consider for my mother if I had one. It was a very nice place and I liked it. The people were very friendly and very helpful. They're more like apartments, which were real nice. There were exercises going on with the residents when I went in.

I visited Summerfield Estate. They had activities, but I do not know what they were. They served three meals a day. They had great, friendly staff who showed me a one-bedroom that was furnished, had a refrigerator, and was dressed up really nice inside. It had a really homey feeling.

I highly recommend Summerfield Estates. It had caring staff, and the activities had a lot of resident involvement. I have tried the food, and it was fair. The dining area was like a cafeteria. The rooms were very nice with an open floor plan and a balcony, but it would be better if they would use hardwood floors instead of carpets or a rubber mat where the wheelchairs could easily be navigated. The staff was wonderful, extremely accommodating, and helpful. They were bringing food to our room if we were unable to go to the dining area.

The presentation at the Summerfield Estates was great. It was warm and inviting. The atmosphere was fine, but the particular room I saw was kind of small. What they had available was more than what I needed. The person I made contact with almost sold me because I feel like my brother would be in a warm and safe environment. I noticed they had a library, a workout room, and activities. The person who gave me the tour was so nice, thorough, polite, friendly, and patient. Had I chosen that place, I know they are going to be friends with my brother.

I really liked Summerfield, and if we’re able to do this type of care, this is where I want mom to go. There was a sense of privacy even though the rooms were close to the activity area. The activity seemed to be varied. I met several residents and had some really good conversations; everybody seemed pretty happy with where they were, and they’re very welcoming.

I visited Summerfield Estates for myself. I like the area. They have a library, a room with a pool table, and a very nice and elegant dining area. The apartments were really nice with some including a patio or balcony. I would recommend them.

Our church group would go to Summerfield Estates and sing occasionally. My son-in-law has played there for entertainment. The people are very friendly. I have thoroughly enjoyed my visits when I go there. I think a couple of times we ate lunch, and it was fine. But I did not go into rooms. The place is very attractive. I have been very pleased with what I have seen.

Summerfield is a beautiful facility. The staff was wonderful and caring. They showed us a very nice, small, one-bedroom apartment with a kitchenette, living room and bathroom. There was a balcony in the ground floor unit, and the one upstairs had one, too. It’s really nice, and I like it.

Summerfield Estates was nice. They rework the apartments as soon as somebody moves out. It had a beautiful entrance. It was well kept. They were very well versed with what they do, and they did a good job with the tour.

My sister has been in Summerfield Estates for about two weeks now. At first when I was still trying to find a place for her, the price was within our limit, but the saleswoman just really did a strong sales pitch in the back that some things that she told me was not what was in the contract. When she sent the paperwork, I realized that the paperwork was all wrong, and I called her back. She had to resend it, and I did not have time to read everything. I was kind of disappointed with the salesmanship. I was expecting them to work with me because I was in the middle of trying to figure out where I needed to put her. When I checked her in there, I told them I am afraid that this is not going to work and I am afraid that she is worse then what I thought. She is having extra problems that they did not tell me about.
She has a one room apartment. Everything is in one room. It is the smallest and cheapest one they have. It is on the first floor which is what we had hoped for. She would like to have something bigger, but at the time, we could not afford to get more. They did tell her that if she wants a bigger room, she could do that later. I have not eaten there, but my husband said the food is good. All the residents that I have talked to also said it is really good. However, my sister has diabetes, and she said the meals are not geared towards that. I do not really know all the activities that they have, but they play cards and they take them out shopping and to restaurants. They also have a lot of people come in to entertain them. The management seems to be very nice.

Everyone at Summerfield Estates were very nice. They invited me to eat with them, and the food was good. I was able to meet some of the patients, and we played a little game. It was all interesting, and I enjoyed it. I looked at a couple of apartments, and they seemed to be really nice.

We visited Summerfield, and we were treated respectfully. It had a two-bedroom and two-bath apartment, but there was no room for anything else. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. The dining room was beautiful, well appointed, and clean, but we didn’t have time for a meal. They had sign-ups for trips outside the facilities for casinos and shopping. They had an on-site beauty shop. They were plenty of activities available.

It was really good when we first got to Summerfield Estates. They were really nice. The assistant managers were okay. But I think the company is going down and it started cutting corners and staff. Several people moved out before we moved out. And they were going to increase the rent this year.
