We looked at 6 communities and summer place was very lively and that's why we chose to live here. We love the socialization here. The entire staff is always very pleasant. The staff is very approachable and kind. The residents are very social. We can come and go as we like so it truly feels like home. And we love our apartment.

Upbeat and friendly!
I want to live there! The staff are all warm and friendly. I can tell it is a great community by how the residents are smiling! Clean beautiful private grounds. Not on a busy street. Renovated this year, unlike others that tell you "oh, we are going to renovate". They have great trips like going to York Beach Maine. Easy to walk around. Stores near by all with in easy walking distance, plaza, wine and liquor store, CVS, many restaurants for change of pace! They don't nickel and dime you like some others. No pet fee, no room transfer fee, you can have a car, family can visit and eat there no extra charge! Wonderful! My mom is very excited! Ask for a tour! Seeing is believing!

Awesome Visit
I toured and dined in the facility, in search of a place for my dad. The manager/asst. manager were excellent. Nice renovations will be finished in February. The best part was the couple hours I spent talking with a 90-yr mom and her daughter. The mom had to leave a few years ago due to her husband's condition, and was now thrilled to be returning. I got to see the reunion with the staff and her friends. Impressive retirement home.

Summer Place has been absolutely fantastic. A fantastic choice. I can't say enough good about it. If a person had a restrictive diet, such as lactose intolerant, gluten-free, and so on, I don't know how they would accommodate that. But I would say that for any place. I do not have any diet restrictions, so for me, they have met all my needs, and I think it's a fantastic place.

Recommend it 100%
She loves that utilities are included. She feels safe, and can have her dog there. She does worry about the rent going up. The staff is really friendly, you can go in and see her whenever. She is very happy here and is close to her family. She likes that everyone age ranges all the way up to age 95. It is very welcoming. I have not seen her this happy in a long time.

Beautiful facility, very expensive
The manager [name removed] and front desk gal [name removed] are great people. It is just outrageously expensive for what you get. The employees are very good at what they do, but nursing staff hired to come in seems click. The facility is very beautiful and clean. The residents and staff are always friendly, staff also know everyone by name. The price has increased a lot in just a couple of months and we were not notified that that was going to be happening. I do also think they could provide more activities based on the residents level of care.

Good Community
I would encourage you to check out this community. There are social aspects to this community. They will make it easier on your loved one by providing meals and housekeeping once a week. The staff that work here are very helpful. There are some activities available for the residents. There are chairs out front to socialize along as well as in the dining room. The biggest complaint my loved ones have is the food. The meals don't come out hot and it seems very repetitive in meal options. There was a change to the meals in the last 6-8 weeks.

Mom has regained a lot of her old enthusiasm
Living alone for twenty years before moving into Summer Place, Mom’s enthusiasm for life had waned. Now it’s largely back. She’s going for walks again instead of just sitting around her apartment, has made the first real friends she’s had in years, and is eating better. She went from a two-bedroom apartment to a studio with hardly any problem- in fact, it’s easier for her to function and she’s less confused with less room and “stuff” to worry about. The staff is very friendly. From Day 1 she said she likes the food, which is so important because her diet was terrible living alone. And they have a van service for appointments- a life saver!

Summer Place is the Place to Go When the Need Arises
Go take a tour. There is some turnover, but not much. When people move in, they tend to stay there. Your loved one will definitely enjoy it. They've been offering lots of activities, despite the Covid situation. The staff is very nice, and they definitely cater to your loved one. They're certainly better at dealing with day to day issues than I could be. They're very caring and nurturing. We looked at other places, and based on what Summer Place offers, Summer Place seems like the best value.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Holiday Summer Place

Holiday Summer Place offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Holiday Summer Place 9.7 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
