It's been very positive. The staff have been very friendly and always helpful. Have responded in reasonable time t o our maintenance requests. The meals fairly good.

We found the facilities bright and light the personal were all friendly and the residents were also friendly. The property was kept neat outside and clean throughout. There are printed lists of activities but while we were there we only saw a few residents “active”. Reading, playing cards, walking and in the gym.

The Summit is a wonderful place to live. The staff is amazing and tenured. Food is outstanding with a restaurant in walking distance. The best independent community in Fort Myers. It is worth a look see.

We no longer live at The Summit and would not recommend to any one. The place is more of an assisted living facility instead of independent living. Food was terrible. Many times we did not receive what was ordered.
