Considering Senior Living?

At Summer Hill, when an individual or a family makes the decision to move to our community, we understand that this is a major decision for them. In each case, we have created an environment that promotes resident satisfaction and happiness. We want it to be their decision for all of the right reasons.

Here are some basic questions that can help your family begin to consider the move to senior living:

• What should we expect at a senior living community?
• Why is this the right move for me/us at this time?
• What is the lifestyle like in a senior living community?
• Wherever we live, would we like to have involvement with friends and socialize?
• What activities do we want to engage in?
• Are we living purposeful lives now, or would we like to do more?
• Are we healthy and mobile now, or do we anticipate needing help in the near future?
• Do we still want to drive ourselves, or would we like to have the convenience of local transportation provided?
• What is our financial situation?
• Do we need assistance with daily tasks and activities to add an additional element of convenience to our lives?
• Are we receiving all of the benefits to which we are entitled, such as Social Security, Medicare, Veterans’ Benefits, etc.?

To be sure, you may have many other questions – or you may have already considered the implications of a move to a senior living community and are ready to make your decision. Our goal is your long-term satisfaction.

We encourage you to learn all you can beforehand. Have a question? Ask our community team members. Or, ask any of our residents how satisfied they are living in their new home. We’re always happy to have you as friends and we would love to have you as neighbors, too.
