Overview of Summit Woods

Summit Woods is a 52-bed senior living community located about 2.4 miles from downtown Waukesha, Wisconsin. Managed by Chiara Communities Inc. under administrator Glenwood Choban, the three-story facility has provided both independent and assisted living options for seven years.

The community operates at a 50 percent occupancy rate, with 26 of its beds currently filled, and offers monthly rates ranging from $940 to $1,560. Daily amenities include transportation services, pet-friendly accommodations, and scheduled fitness and recreational activities. Because the surrounding neighborhood carries a Walk Score of 13, the location is car-dependent, and most visits or off-site errands require a short drive.

Prospective residents and their families looking for an affordable senior living option with immediate vacancy in Waukesha County can contact the facility to discuss apartment availability and arrange a tour.
