Summerset is a nice place to consider.
reviewed on: 04/08/2015 by AnonymousI searched several locations in the Metro Atlanta area and I found Summerset to be the best. I have had four elderly relatives in our family where I have been involved with the decision about their care. One of these being my mom and two of these living in other states. My relative at Summerset had care givers in the home for several years. I would suggest that you develop a method of knowing the care team, be aware of what your family member does during their day and let the management staff know if something occurs that you do not agree with. I can tell you that nothing is perfect but Summerset is a very nice place to consider if you are looking for a place away from home.
Top Notch Facility
reviewed on: 12/29/2015 by Denise Terry-WardMy 98 year young father who is a retired USA veteran, recently moved to the Summerset Assisted Living Facility (end of 2015) and so far the family has determined that this facility is an excellant place for my dad to live. The owners along with all the staff members take really great care of our family member. Everyone is professional and takes ownership of their roles and responsibilities for each resident. This facility is really clean, has no unpleasant smells, the medications are administered in a timely manner, the laundry is done and stored in the designated location in each apartment and this facility is secured at all times. The food is great (the fish is so good...). If a resident has a specific issue of concern, the staff will notify the family immediately. Each residents apartment is just the right size as my dad described...there are activities for all residents which allows each person to socialize if they choose to. With all that I have said, our family give this facility a really HIGH rating (top notch) because we feel confident that our family member needs will be met. The Summerset family along with our family have become a great team to ensure that my dad continues to ages gracefully and with dignity.
MEDIOCRE AT BEST
reviewed on: 07/01/2016 by K.R.We placed a relative here 2 years ago. The relative had Alzheimer's disease and the staff was informed of this diagnosis prior to placement. However, she was placed on a floor with independent senior residents. She wandered in and out of other resident's rooms and was very hard to manage. FINALLY, after having a meeting with management, she was properly placed on "Memory Lane" (for residents with dementia). On Memory Lane, the residents are seated in front of a big screen television ALL DAY LONG. In the 2 years my relative was there, I saw activities 1-2 times and I visited regularly. When I visited, the residents looked sedated and another relative was told by the staff that residents are given something to "keep them calm". Often times I would enter the floor and the smell of BMs would waft throughout the place. My relative had jewelry stolen and nothing was done about it. She was often inappropriately dressed and toward the latter part of her stay, the staff would just leave her in the bed in her pajamas all day long. Often times the facility was understaffed and there would be ONE staff member to watch 10-15 residents. So, if the ONE staff member was attending to another resident (changing a diaper, assisting with the bathroom), the other residents were left alone. My relative frequently had other resident's laundry in her dresser drawers. After several complaints, we just started placing items that were not hers on top of her dresser for them to be returned to their rightful owners. When my relative died, we didn't get a flower, card, note or ANY kind of condolence or even an appreciative statement for our relative being a resident at their facility for TWO YEARS! The owners seem to have some passion for the area of gerontology but, they are passing the business to their sons who have NO PASSION, NO INTEREST and NO KNOWLEDGE of gerontology or how to effectively run a business. If you wish to consider placing your relative here, make sure you do your research, don't bring any valuables and DO NOT expect any sympathy from them when your relative passes away!!!!
Fantastic Place for Your Loved One to Live
reviewed on: 06/03/2021 by R WThis is a friendly place. I have confidence in the management in the way they are running the community. I would highly recommend the community to others. The attention to detail from the staff is great. There are three meals each day for the residents.
