Dear Friends:

Ken Burger From our first days of envisioning this continuing care retirement community, we wanted to build a senior living community that would offer retirees the sense of community and peace of mind to fully engage in the freedom and joys of life. Each day, our residents live that vision in their own ways; they continue to amaze me with the way that life is embraced, with the depth of experience, and with the breadth of caring present in this community.

Many of the greatest qualities of this community were started or inspired by our residents. Dedicated to supporting their active role in this community, we hold monthly Town Meetings among the Residents’ Council, each of its committees, and a member of the staff. That clear communication is an important part of our vision to provide an environment to be engaged in life.

Critical to this vision has always been a commitment that no person will be asked to leave The Summit for financial reasons beyond their control. The Summit Benevolent Fund was formed to provide the financial support needed, should a resident experience unexpected circumstances. This is one way The Summit exemplifies community in the best sense of that word.

Thus it is that we shaped this mission statement to communicate our vision:

The Summit
is a Senior Living Community
providing an environment
for each resident
to be
Engaged in Life

The stories included here are 4 of the many you will discover among the residents at The Summit, engaged in life as each individual shapes what that means.

Best Wishes,

Ken Burger
Executive Director, The Summit
