Built in 2015, The Summit by Discovery Senior Living has a reputation that precedes us. Our community features the latest technological advancements, interior design, and care to residents in which they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Our three living options include Senior Independent Living, Assisted Living, and our scientifically-based SHINE® Memory Care program. We also have short-term respite care for seniors recovering from medical events, or to provide primary caregivers a much-needed reprieve. Whichever option you or your loved ones choose, spacious apartment homes, elegant finishes, high-end upgrades, and modern amenities will be waiting for you.
The six (6) exclusive lifestyle programs we provide residents at The Summit are designed to upgrade everyday living so you and your loved ones can experience luxurious living you deserve in the golden years of life.
