I love it here and my dog loves it here. If I eat here I just go dinner. I have gone to dinner 3 times and have had one good meal. My first meal the pasta was dry, the second meal the asparagus was the size of toothpicks. I'm sure the chef can do better and I will try dinner again.

Finding Home
I really love living here. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Many activities are entertaining. I personally enjoy most of the meals. There would never be total agreement on food for everyone. I love my space and my daily routine. Walking around the facility is lovely. Once around is a quarter mile and it makes me want to walk more every day. I have been here for only a month and a half and I know nothing is 100 percent, but for me, I am home!

Nice community
The people are nice. They are responsive. They have activities but not a ton of them. It's not as fancy as some places. But has good light and enough things to do and space. It has a nice outside walking path for exercise. The rooms have little balconies for private outside space.

People are very friendly,
Everyone is helpful. The activities are varied, something for everyone. You can participate or not. The food is ok and varied. They put leftovers in a fridge and you can take anything from there. There is always fruit available. There are outings you can sign up for. There are also stores nearby if you want to walk to them. Once a week they bus people to Market Basket. You can sign up for a ride to appointments.. The best thing are the staff especially [name removed] on the front desk. Everyone makes you feel welcome. It can truly be a home.

Review for Summer Place
Overall, I love it here. However, I would not recommend going to a retirement home like this with a guy dog, because everyone wants to pet it, feed it and all that stuff. I also think the rent goes up faster than the cost of living raises due. Other than that, though, I'm very happy here and love it and glad that I went through A Place For Mom for this choice.

A Great Experience
I would rate Holiday Summer Place very good. We just got a new activities director and she is doing a great job. The community is expensive but based on the experience I have had so far, I would absolutely recommend this community to other families.

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!

A Place for Mom has scored Summer Place 9.9 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.
