Fee for Service

Our commitment to The Summit residents starts during the search process. That's why we share our Fee Schedule with you up-front. As a fee-for-service organization, you pay for only what you need when you need it.

Cost is an important part of your decision for senior living – and so is the culture of the community you choose. At The Summit, we want to set the expectation for how we will work with you and your family.

We are an organization of real people who care about real people. We encourage feedback, because without it we can't do the best job for the residents and their families.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call us at (434) 582-1500.

Ruth Ann and I were always dreaming of retirement; so when I was offered the chance to retire, I said, “Show me the door!” We lived in Northern Virginia at the time. Thanks to Ruth Ann’s sister and brother-in-law, we started bird watching as a hobby. We came to Lynchburg...
Bill & Liz Hodges

Resident Since: February 8, 2004

Bill and I chose to live at The Summit 11+ years ago. It was a good choice. The cottage, excuse me, "garden home," had been relinquished by someone who had earlier claimed it. That claimant made a big mistake. We're glad! Before we moved in, we needed to personalize the...
