"I seldom write reviews, but felt compelled to do so in hopes of helping others who are experiencing the emotional pain of watching a loved one suffer from dementia. If you are in this situation now, and reviewing Summerfield, you have come to the right place. My mom has lived at Summerfield for six months now after we realized that simple assisted living was not enough and memory care was needed. While my wife and I were educating ourselves on this horrible disease, we had contacted Summerfield to ask questions and look at options. We were immediately put in contact with Leslie Anderson, the Executive Director who took a considerable amount of time talking with us. She was kind, understanding, and extremely knowledgeable as she gave us important information during a time when we were under considerable stress. She even suggested we look at other facilities during our learning process and to call her back when we were ready and she would help us no matter what we chose. We did our homework, mom toured Summerfield, and within the next couple of days she had moved into her new home. Without Leslie’s professional guidance and sincere kindness we would have been lost and would have struggled for a much longer period of time. From the very first day, mom has been extremely happy to be living there. She is always clean, physically well kept, likes the food, and has come to love the staff and her caregivers as if they are family. The caregivers pay great attention to her psychological wellbeing. The daily activities and the activity room staff are amazing keeping her engaged and active as much as possible. Her room, and the entire facility, are well maintained and exceptionally clean and safe. They are very vigilant in prevention strategies relative to current health & safety issues. The secure grounds are well maintained and it’s basically a beautiful campus. We visit two to three times a week and have had the opportunity to get to know most of the staff. Without exception, we leave feeling impressed with the professionalism, the genuine kindness, patience, concern for every resident, and the positive attitudes of every single person working there. Not once have we seen negativeness or conflicts which is truly amazing in today’s world. We have only seen sincere customer service and caring for all of the residents. From my prior life experiences, it is obvious that Summerfield of Stockton has an extremely high level of organizational leadership, work ethic, and professionalism that starts from the top levels with Leslie as the Executive Director, Peggy Massey, Teresa Thompson, Hansel, Sukhi, Joe, and Sumera, who always greet us with a smile. The caregivers and every staff member are truly special people working in an emotionally difficult environment. We thank all of them and feel extremely fortunate for having these special people watching over mom. One of the most important things about Summerfield is that when our family goes to sleep at night, we know that mom is there safe and well cared for at all times. Tom & Debbie Morris"
