The Summit
The Summit offers assisted living, home care, independent living, and memory care in Lynchburg, VA. Assisted living helps with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident maintains a private apartment. Home care supports a resident in the place where they live, while independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care.
Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Several care levels are available here. The Summit may be a good fit for a resident whose needs may grow over time without requiring a move to a different community.
The Summit has 50 beds, making it a smaller community where staff and residents get to know each other. Housing includes one bedroom and two bedroom layouts. A two bedroom option can suit a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion, while a one bedroom layout provides a single private space.
A Walk Score of 56 means the area is somewhat walkable, with some errands possible on foot. A resident who no longer drives may still be able to reach nearby destinations independently. Lisa T. Watson serves as the administrator.
