Summerland Manor

Summerland Manor will wash your clothes, fix your meals, and clean your rooms. I love this place. It is beautiful. It is kept clean, but they don't take you anywhere, like to go shopping. If you can't drive and don't have a car, you can't do anything and it's not close enough to walk anyway. If you don't have a family that brings you snacks and stuff like that, you're out of luck. It just so happened that I was able to drive in the first few years than I am now. I just take short trips to visit and pick up things at the dollar store and in the grocery store. That's all I do to get out, and they will allow it if you are able to. Only that you have to have your own car. So, that's not a plus for them. The staff is very nice. We only have two nurses for our area and they switch up every week. One comes in more like three or four days at a time and they switch up, and it works out. If something is wrong with you, they'll check you out and they send you up in the emergency room. They have an RN here. It smells nice and they got it set up well. Everything here is beautiful. Yesterday, we had fish and that was good. Everyone got two pieces of fish. We also have fries or rolls or something and maybe a little cornbread or a muffin. That's good. Breakfast is also delicious. I have to get up for breakfast every day. It doesn't matter how tired I am because they have biscuits, scrambled eggs, bacon, or sausage. You don't get hungry. Sometimes the food smells good and sometimes it is not. Whatever they have, it's edible. Some meals are fantastic, some meals are mediocre. Amy gives activities about every time twice a day. There's 10:00 and 2:00. I don't love it very much, unless it's something I want to do, but I just get tired. The rest of them show up and they enjoy it, but I go to all the church activities. The priest would come in and give a talk or sing. I love those and I go to all of those. Their price went up a little bit. It was $3,000 2 to 3 years ago. If you wash your own clothes, they don't charge you for that. They are nice and they try to help you if you need it. If they find out you are sick, they take care of you.

We chose the Summerland Manor for my aunt because of the location because the pictures on the website are right when I saw it in person and the price. The staff is very caring and attentive. They're going out of their way to help her get acclimated to the community. From her experience, I would say that the food is very good. She can't get involved in that many activities, but on my visits there they've always got something they're doing. The facility is clean and spacious, they're set up in a great way in terms of appearance. She has a very large individual apartment on her own, it's like a way oversized hotel room with the way it's set up. The dining area is set up with individual tables and plates, except they had a recent employee with COVID, so right now they're back to using paper plates and stuff. But normally, the dining setup was extremely nice, I would go there myself. None of these places are cheap, but I believe we're getting her money's worth. It's part of Jasper General Hospital, and they have doctors' offices close by. If they need to go, they would take them to the doctor in the golf cart or to the hospital, they will transport them in town and they also have one doctor that would do house calls.
