Review for Summer Place

Overall, I love it here. However, I would not recommend going to a retirement home like this with a guy dog, because everyone wants to pet it, feed it and all that stuff. I also think the rent goes up faster than the cost of living raises due. Other than that, though, I'm very happy here and love it and glad that I went through A Place For Mom for this choice....

A Great Experience

I would rate Holiday Summer Place very good. We just got a new activities director and she is doing a great job. The community is expensive but based on the experience I have had so far, I would absolutely recommend this community to other families.

We looked at 6 communities and summer place was very lively and that's why we chose to live here. We love the socialization here. The entire staff is always very pleasant. The staff is very approachable and kind. The residents are very social. We can come and go as we like so it truly feels like home. And we love our apartment.

I toured the building twice, once before the renovations, and then after the renovations. I decided to move to SummerPlace because of how the staff made me feel. They are welcoming and caring. The office staff is wonderful and first class.

Upbeat and friendly!

I want to live there! The staff are all warm and friendly. I can tell it is a great community by how the residents are smiling! Clean beautiful private grounds. Not on a busy street. Renovated this year, unlike others that tell you "oh, we are going to renovate". They have great trips like going to York Beach Maine. Easy to walk around. Stores near by all with in easy walking distance, plaza, wine and liquor store, CVS, many restaurants for change of pace! They don't nickel and dime you like some others. No pet fee, no room transfer fee, you can have a car, family can visit and eat there no extra charge! Wonderful! My mom is very excited! Ask for a tour! Seeing is believing!

Awesome Visit

I toured and dined in the facility, in search of a place for my dad. The manager/asst. manager were excellent. Nice renovations will be finished in February. The best part was the couple hours I spent talking with a 90-yr mom and her daughter. The mom had to leave a few years ago due to her husband's condition, and was now thrilled to be returning. I got to see the reunion with the staff and her friends. Impressive retirement home.

Summer Place has been absolutely fantastic. A fantastic choice. I can't say enough good about it. If a person had a restrictive diet, such as lactose intolerant, gluten-free, and so on, I don't know how they would accommodate that. But I would say that for any place. I do not have any diet restrictions, so for me, they have met all my needs, and I think it's a fantastic place.

Recommend it 100%

She loves that utilities are included. She feels safe, and can have her dog there. She does worry about the rent going up. The staff is really friendly, you can go in and see her whenever. She is very happy here and is close to her family. She likes that everyone age ranges all the way up to age 95. It is very welcoming. I have not seen her this happy in a long time.

Beautiful facility, very expensive

The manager [name removed] and front desk gal [name removed] are great people. It is just outrageously expensive for what you get. The employees are very good at what they do, but nursing staff hired to come in seems click. The facility is very beautiful and clean. The residents and staff are always friendly, staff also know everyone by name. The price has increased a lot in just a couple of months and we were not notified that that was going to be happening. I do also think they could provide more activities based on the residents level of care.

A Place for Mom has scored Summer Place 9.9 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score.
