Read on to learn what makes Summit Place of South Park a great community to live in!

 

What Living Options Does Summit Place of South Park Offer?

Summit Place of South Park offers standard assisted living options for seniors who need daily help.

 

Those in assisted living unlock help with personal care tasks, including:

  • Choosing clothes
  • Dressing
  • Bathing
  • Using the bathroom
  • Cleaning up messes
  • Standing up and sitting down
  • Navigating the apartment floor plan
  • Staying safe in community common areas
  • Managing medication

Assisted living is made for those with mobility issues. It's also ideal for people with mild cognitive challenges.

 

Those with more serious cognitive decline may prefer memory care. These residents get help with all the same things that those in assisted living do, and personalized care plans are a top priority in both living options.

 

However, since memory care is tailor-made for those requiring Alzheimer's and dementia care services, residents also gain access to purpose-driven life enhancement activities that boost cognition. They may include:

  • Sensory experiences that stimulate multiple areas of the brain
  • Memory-boosting games and activities to help maintain cognitive function
  • Puzzles that open pathways in the brain via critical thought
  • Quiet reflective moments that improve long-term memory through reminiscence
  • A brain-healthy diet that improves brain function

What Types of Amenities Can Residents Enjoy?

Regardless of the help you or your loved one needs, there are several apartment floor plans that you can choose from.

 

Studios and deluxe studios are smaller spaces where the bedroom and living room are combined into a single area. One-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments have more independent rooms.

 

All apartments feature ample space for seniors with mobility restrictions to navigate. They're built for accessibility. They're also made for comfort with cozy furniture and treated windows.

 

However, spending all day cooped up in an apartment isn't the best way for seniors to stay comfortable. It's important to combat social isolation by spending time with other residents in community common areas.

 

Some amenities to enjoy include:

  • Restaurant-style dining
  • Game and activity rooms
  • Billiards areas
  • Arts and crafts rooms
  • Outdoor patio space
  • Outdoor courtyard areas
  • Pet-friendly amenities
  • A barber shop and beauty salon

Our professionals are committed to ensuring each resident lives life to the fullest. That's why our team is happy to help seniors navigate these amenities.

 

Are There Activities and Events in the Community?

Yes! One of our best programs is called Celebrations Activities and Events. This program lets our community host tons of daily calendar events, including:

  • Bingo
  • Game nights
  • Movie screenings
  • Outdoor walks
  • Themed parties and dances
  • Educational guest lecturers
  • Cultural experiences
  • Arts and crafts workshops
  • Cooking and baking classes
  • Physical wellness activities

Every week, the activities change. These are just some examples of what you might find in our Charlotte community.

 

Regardless of your preferences, there's something for everyone. This is especially important since the National Poll on Healthy Aging reports 34% of seniors as consistently lonely. Attending community activities lets residents meet people with shared interests and forge lifelong connections!

 

Frequently Asked Questions

How Do Personalized Care Plans Work?

Summit Place of South Park offers individually-tailored care plans for every resident. This process involves:

  • Sitting down with new residents and their families
  • Discussing the unique challenges that the new resident faces when living independently
  • Deciding whether assisted living or memory care is the better option to meet their needs
  • Figuring out what specific tasks the senior needs help with to maintain a positive lifestyle
  • Talking about what activities and daily care tasks the resident can do on their own

After that, compassionate caregivers write the plan down. The new resident and their family approve the plan before it's implemented.

If needs change over time, the plan is 100% adaptable.

However, this figure can fluctuate depending on several factors.

 

Families of seniors who need more help from caregivers will need to pay higher fees than those who need minimal assistance. Those with larger apartment floor plans will need to pay more than those who choose small studio apartments.
