Summer Vista Assisted Living Community

Overview of Summer Vista Assisted Living Community

Summer Vista Assisted Living Community is a 100-bed, for-profit assisted living and memory care facility operated by VOP Summer Vista, LLC, and managed by administrator Lorie Sharee Harman. The property offers 24-hour staffing, licensed nursing, rehabilitation support, and physical therapy options. Residents have access to private insurance-supported care, restaurant-style dining, scheduled transportation, and a variety of social activities such as cooking classes, fitness programs, and group outings.

State regulatory reviews covering 10 years show just 26 total deficiencies across 27 separate inspections, which breaks down to an average of 0.3 infractions per year. This volume tracks 93% lower than the state baseline. The community frequently records zero citations-per-inspection rate outcomes, achieving 23 flawless evaluations across its history. Only three inspection dates since 2016 turned up any issues, with the most recent years, including a June 2025 review, showing entirely clean records. The facility has received just a single $500 fine and has no history of severe administrative enforcement.

Families looking for a reliable care environment can take assurance from the facility’s low citation numbers and extensive history of clean state reports. Because the historical records indicate consistent adherence to state standards, the data points to a highly structured operational setup. It remains a good practice to meet with the care coordinators during a tour to discuss how they manage specific rehabilitation and therapy schedules to fit your relative’s daily routine.
