The Summit’s Memory Support Community consists of 24 studio and one-bedroom apartments, all with private bathrooms, walk-in showers, and kitchenettes.

Utilizing evidence-based practices helps to minimize challenges, remove obstacles, reduce frustrations, and relieve anxiety. In turn, this helps to make life simpler, more enjoyable, and more rewarding for residents. For example, dining choices are abundant with plated visual cues to enable residents to easily choose their meals.
