What Our Residents Say

"My wife and I have lived well in The Summit in Hockessin for three months. Our move from our 58 year old home was made quickly. We do not regret the move. The Summit is our new home. The staff is more than competent  and the residents are friendly. We have established new friendships - and re-established  a few old friendships. Our apartment is comfortable, “homey” and clean. The food is delicious. Families are welcome to visit and eat with their loved ones."
Gene F.
Resident
"My parents made the transition here seamlessly and beautifully! The staff are super attentive and responsive.  Activities are well organized and of great interest.  Every time I call to check in on them, my parents are on their way out the door to meet with new friends to play cards or attend an outing.  They are quite pleased with the food, I am relieved that they are eating healthily and regularly.  The Summit offers a warm and inviting atmosphere.  My parents love love love their new home!!!"
