My mom moved into The Retreat at Summerville a couple of weeks ago. The facility is well-kept. Everybody there is wonderful from the office staff to the nursing sector. We like it a lot and they take good care of her. They keep me informed. They keep me updated weekly on her progress. When I'm not there, they check in to let me know how she's doing. All around, I like them. Her room is very clean. The dining area is beautiful. She's on the memory care side, so they bring in their food on the memory care side. Their activity director is wonderful.

I toured The Retreat at Summerville for my husband. The grounds and the layout were pretty good, but kind of sparse compared to the others. It's nice, but it's not rolling hills. Inside, they have refurbished pretty nicely, and the rooms were adequate. The person who assisted me was very helpful, but not truthful in the end in the way that they were supposed to. They said they were going to come in and interview him at the House. The woman got sick, and they know she wasn't coming to the house, and they wanted to bring my husband in. He had a really bad episode just before he got there, so his attitude was bad, and his answers were sketchy. Then they said they were going to send it to the doctor for information. When I spoke with them again, they said that they were not going to be able to take him because the doctor only sent two pages of information. Instead of being truthful and saying that they don't think that they could take him for whatever, they just beat him around the bush. The truth would have been that the two young women had no intention of letting him in because of his attitude. My complaint with them is that they're wasting my time and their time. They did not have any real activity. They have a locked door and a lot of rooms, but I didn't see any moving around. Their program isn't that good, I would say. They had sitting rooms and some of the residents are sitting in, but I didn't see anybody playing games or playing cards. The gentleman who assisted me was very good. To be truthful, they should have something to show that memory care is not just sitting in their room waiting for meals.

We went to The Retreat at Summerville, and the tour was excellent. They showed us around the whole facility. We went to the activities room. We went to the dining hall and the memory care area. They showed us an empty room. That way we could see where my parents are going to have their own set up and where they could put their own furniture. Then we saw another room that was already set up with the resident's furniture, so we would know how to basically set up theirs. We got to meet some of the staff and some of the residents. The people that lived there said that they were very friendly and nice, and that our parents would like it there (which we really liked). That way we knew it wasn't just us reading online. You know how people liked it. We actually got to talk to people who lived there, so we would know if our parents would like it. It was very nice to be able to talk to people who live there, to be able to let us know that they liked them. It was very, very reassuring to know that people who already live there enjoyed living there. They liked the staff there, so that was very reassuring and very nice to know. They had a large area where they gathered for watching TV, playing chess, and card games. They had an area where they could have services for Bible study. They had checkers.

My mother is a resident of the memory care facility. She has a private room which is spacious, though she spends little time in it. The staff is good about bringing her to the common area where they have kind folks watching after the residents. The staff to patient ratio is not as high as I would have liked, but is very sufficient. I have never witnessed the patients being unsupervised and do not suspect it happens. There is a noticeable smell in her room and common areas. I have witnessed staff cleaning, and suspect it is a bi-product of the facility age and nature of memory-care patient hygiene. Having stated the only negatives, I am confident that my mother receives appropriate care.
