What our PATIENTS and their FAMILIES are saying…
I would like to express my gratitude to the staff at the Summit at Plantsville for the excellent care they provided to my mom. She was a resident on Somerset for 18 months before contracting COVID-19 and passing on May 13, 2020. The staff was always kind and caring and really knew mom. It was a huge stress reliever for me to be confident that she was cared for not only physically, but mentally as well. The dementia had robbed her of so many things, but she was always treated with dignity. When she became ill with the virus, the staff was in constant contact, keeping us up-to-date on her condition. They arranged a window visit for us and allowed us to be with her safely just before her passing. I must give a huge shout out to Barbara B. and the recreation department. They provided so much joy for my mom and went above and beyond to allow FaceTime visits. Barb was even able to get a priest to come in to give my mom Last Rites and FaceTimed then so I could “be there.” They cared for me as much as for my mom. Thank you for all you do.
Our Mom has been a resident of The Summit at Plantsville for almost 4 years now. During this time, she and we, her family, have experienced the incredible kindness and wonderful care from the entire staff at The Summit throughout her stay. When Mom was diagnosed with COVID-19 at 95 years of age, needless to say we were terrified. She was started on the COVID protocol immediately and we believe that quick action helped to save her life and keep her symptoms on the milder side. The tenderness and loving care she received from the nurses and CNAs during her bout with COVID was amazing. It meant a lot to Mom and us that they were so gentle with her and caring, especially during this scary, unknown time. The recreation staff at The Summit is absolutely the best! They will go above and beyond to ensure that their residents are engaged, happy and know they’re loved. During this challenging time because of COVID-19, they have organized socially-distanced garden visits, FaceTime visits and they will spend one-on-one quality time with the residents playing cards, bingo, drawing and singing with them. They are doing everything they can to keep residents engaged and in touch with their beloved families so they don’t feel so isolated during this unprecedented time. We are so very grateful to everyone at The Summit and thank them from the bottom of our hearts for being the “on ground” family for our loved ones while we cannot be there, in person. Their care, commitment, respect and love for our family members has been, is and continues to be #1. Thank you to all the heroes at The Summit of Plantsville!!
Where do we begin to say thank you? To Barbara B. and the whole team at Summit Plantsville, You are all amazing! Your kindness, care, and compassion has made the whole Summit experience a wonderful one. We are filled with gratitude for the dedication and commitment of all the staff. Truly, you are all heroes! Not only during COVID 19, but the whole time my aunt has been a resident there. We have been so fortunate to have her in such a wonderful facility. The on-going communication to us by the medical staff. therapy, and recreation has been nothing short of spectacular. Kudos to all who work there.
My mom has been at The Summit at Plantsville for over three years now with dementia. When she contracted Covid-19 this spring the staff did an outstanding job caring for her while remaining in close communication with me during her illness. They put their health and lives on the line to take care of their patients. Now that she’s fully recovered from Covid, and the facility is Covid-free, the recreation department has been amazing about setting up FaceTime and outdoor visits with my mom. They also went out of their way to re-set my mom’s room for her by hanging photos and taking care of her plants and Beta fish. They work hard trying to cheer up the residents with silly in-room antics and fun activities. They often send me photos so that I know what’s going on. I feel blessed that my mom is in a facility that truly cares for their patients and their families. Thank you to the staff of the Summit!
