Overview of Summit by Morrison

Summit by Morrison works from a Whitefield, NH address, with respite care, memory care, independent living, and assisted living on the license. Independent living leaves the schedule to the resident, with no daily care attached. Assisted living covers the specific tasks, bathing, dressing, and medication.

Memory care is delivered inside a secured area with supervision, for a person at risk of wandering. Respite works as a trial run, a short stay that tests a move before anyone commits to one.

All four levels belong to one license at one address. The building holds 62 beds. Independent living comes as cottages and apartments, and assisted living as studios.

Starting prices split by layout, $3,806 for an independent living cottage and $3,859 for an independent living apartment. A family weighing the two therefore has two entry figures rather than one.

A memory care Day Program is named here for structured daytime support, and rehabilitation services are on the list for residents working back toward what they could do before. C Sarah Vaughan-France is the administrator.
