What residents are saying
One of the main reasons I chose Summerset was because I could bring my dog, Max, with me. Having him here has made all the difference in my transition to senior living. We go for walks every day, and he’s made so many new friends in the community! - Mary S., Resident
I love that Summerset allows pets! My cat, Whiskers, has been by my side for years, and I couldn’t imagine moving without him. The staff and residents have been so welcoming to both of us. - Bill J., Resident
