Summit Woods

Ed123

Summit Woods was probably one of the earliest homes in the area built in the early 1990s. The location is really nice. They keep the place up, but we're talking about an older establishment. They have window air-conditioning. That is a little too old for me. It is independent living, but if you need assisted living you still stay in the same room. You do not move to a different facility. The staff was great. I didn't see anything there that I didn't like. It's just that everything seemed old, but definitely also lower cost. They are in Waukesha in the city itself, but they're in an area that is completely walled off from the neighbors by trees. They have walking paths, which is great. They were in the process of replacing one of the elevators (probably because of age). The place is fine depending on your financial status. The place is clean. They do a good job with what they have.

We are probably going with Summit Woods. It's close to my daughter, and that's one of the factors. The price is reasonable. The people were very friendly. It was just comfortable. The tour was very nice. The place was beautiful. The apartments were very nice. The residents were friendly. And they have social activities. We looked at two-bedroom-two-baths. The cabinet space was good. It had a balcony. That's a huge thing for me because I got to have some outside space where I can go sit out. The one that we liked the most had a gas fireplace in it. They also have an area that we could rent if we're having a party. They have a very nice dining room. The people were sitting in there waiting for their dinner. Some were sitting outside by the door, and some were sitting in the front lobby talking. It was comfortable and home-like. It is also set back in a wooded area. They have a hiking path, which is paved, so my husband could take his electric scooter on that.

We went to Summit Woods. The rooms on the north side were too dark. There's no light coming in even on a bright, sunny day. And those were the rooms they showed us that were available. There's a room that had no balcony, and it felt way too enclosed. It was an older facility, but it was well kept up.

Summit Woods has everything we need. They have a well maintained building, and the people are really friendly. They have lots of programs if we need it. We will be moving into independent living, and then we can go to assisted living if we need to. The apartment we're taking over was well cleaned up and painted. It's in good shape. They have movies, exercise classes, little meetings, and transportation to shopping centers. They also have a nurse, a hair salon, and a country store. It's pretty well set up, and it's one of the better ones around here.

I'm living at Summit Woods. I'm on the fourth tier of assisted living. It's a nice-looking building. It's kept clean. There's a family room, a dining room, and a foyer in the front of the building. There are one, two, and three-bedroom apartments. The services are very good. The food is varied, and it's also very good. I have no complaints about the food. There's a lady that's in charge of the activities. She provides trips to different restaurants and different locations (like in the fall to go see the colors they've been to Sunflower Farm and Pumpkin Farms). They go to various different places. There's also a singing group in the building. There are other nights when they have trivia and bingo. Sometimes she brings in live entertainment. It is local people that will come in, play, and sing for you. There's hairdressing available for women and men. There's a little workout room if you want to get up and exercise. There's a big library. There's a little country store that's open three days a week. There's a nurse on-staff. We're doing fine.

Summit Woods seemed to be the nicest and active. The people there seemed to be in good shape. The place was very clean and very nicely kept. It's close to a lot of things but still all by itself. They had what looked like just a regular apartment, which was nice, and it had a full kitchen and nice views.
