Overview of Summerfield of Fresno

Rooms at Summerfield of Fresno come private or shared, across 64 beds. A shared room suits a couple moving in together or somebody who would rather have company. Assisted living is the baseline level of care in this Fresno, California community, and it covers dressing, medication management, and bathing.

Memo care adds security to the setting and the supervision that comes with it. There’s a point in the progression of dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases where explaining why supervision is even necessary stops landing. That’s when no amount of reasoning can get someone to stay put, and that’s where memory care comes in.

Respite care covers short stays, which are often for those who need someone in the building at hand rather than a nurse at the bedside.

Here, as a resident’s needs change, their family won’t need to start looking for a new place that can accommodate them.

Robert Huntley is the administrator. A Walk Score of 52 means the area is somewhat walkable.
