Summit has a great location near shopping, restaurants and activities. Great and helpful staff who were a tremendous support as we made our decision by offering resources to check out. Contacted us periodically to check in but were not pushy sales people. I would choose Summit for my parents in a heartbeat.

The summit offers a driver for local dr or hospital visits.Ike is professional, friendly and most of all kind. He wears many hats and is an invaluable resource. Sharice and Dawn are so welcoming at the front desk. My mother in laws housekeeper is amazing. As well the laundry staff. Matt is so entertaining (the entire activities staff are so animated and engaging).

Staff are friendly, kind, and always willing to assist. They are go above and beyond for two of my family members that are residents of independent living. The rooms are large and comfortable. They have many activities to keep them active. Their food is great and service is exceptional. They offer bingo, cards, holiday gatherings, special events, and more. We have been very impressed thus far. Thankful to have found their new home!

I can't say enough great things about the Summit of Uptown! Jayne was an absolute pleasure to work with from our first meeting, learning about independent living, all the way through the move in date. The entire staff is very courteous and helpful. The accommodations are great! When we decided to change to a slightly larger apartment after the initial move in, Jayne and team worked with us on changing units and made the process seamless. Finally, the culture amongst all the residents has been a perfect fit. There are many organized activities throughout the week where the residents get to engage with one another and build a real sense of community.

My mom has been living at the Summit for approx 10 years. Over the years she has formed some wonderful relationships with other residents, but, also with staff and management. The current folks have been amazing. Extremely responsive and helpful. From management to dining room staff to facilities personnel to health care professionals...all have been the best. I am especially appreciative of the Summit's response to the Covid crisis. From the early days, when no one knew what to do, to the current model they have in place, I have always felt that they were striving to quickly do what was right to keep everyone safe.

My parents both live here in a one bedroom deluxe and have different needs as they grow older. The rooms in Independent living are spacious and have an at- home feel with full kitchen and washer and dryer. The facility has an in house driver that is a life saver. He takes or picks them up from anywhere within five miles which makes them feel very independent. The dining room has the highlighted dishes for viewing so they can literally see what they would like as you know reading can be a challenge as one gets older. I just can’t say enough about the staff (management, front desk, kitchen and event planners) as they really love what they do and they really care about each of the residents. They have improved the facility by attaining input from the residents. They don’t just listen, they act. It is a smaller community, they know everyone by name and they look out for each of them. It is truly a family feel. Care in the Home is a supplemental healthcare providers in house that can give showers and meds for a fee to your loved ones. They too are very personable, thoughtful and caring. Plus the location is amazing! They can sit on the veranda and watch concerts across the street (pre-covid), walk across the street to the library or trader Joes. You have everything you need in walking distance or Ike will drive you there safely. As you can see, i highly recommend The Summit, as I looked around at many places before we chose, and for the price, the Summit offered the most and were willing to let my parents test it for a month as moving from a house to a retirement community is a huge decision, so the trial period was extremely helpful for them to realize this was not a nursing home, that it could be their new home. This new home has resources to help them enjoy life as most of their needs are all under one roof now. This move has been a blessing for them and for our family as we are all a team making their life full and meaningful. It is worth a tour - see for yourself.

My mother has been a resident in Independent Living for over 4 years. The most recent renovations are really beautiful, inside and out. Some of the apartments have better layouts and are more spacious than offerings at other nearby properties, so it’s worth asking for what you want. The Summit’s location can’t be beat - it’s within walking distance of everything. Nice community of friendly residents and helpful staff. Caregiver services are available, and have really been a lifesaver for her when she’s needed it.

This was the best place recommended to me and my family in this area. The staff is superb. The proximity to everything is phenomenal. The rooms are a decent size.

Terrible, terrible phone system. Sometimes the automated switchboard rings and rings and doesn’t connect so we have to call the front desk. At other times the front desk doesn’t answer the phone. Residents complain about uninspired and tasteless food choices. Housekeeping could be significantly better at times. I wouldn’t want to be lodged here when I’m older.

Summit of Uptown was very pleasant and I liked the location. It's really nice and has well-appointed furniture. It's right down in the heart of town and less than half a block from the train station and a huge library. It's really well-lit right outside, so if you're outside, you don't have to fear walking around in the dark. It's just more expensive than the other places. The person who showed me around was quite helpful. She showed me the results of some art that they were going to be distributing around the village. They're quite active.

The location of The Summit is great, it’s right in downtown Park Ridge which is very convenient. It’s a converted hotel, so the rooms are very small, and they have long corridors. They remodelled everything so it looks very good. They have a driver that can take you to places.
