Summit Place of Kings Mountain

My Father-in-Law was recently placed at Summit Place of Kings Mountain after it became too difficult to care for him in our home. He had Alzheimer's and needed round the clock care. We struggled with the decision to place him but after meeting with Denise, the nurse, and the memory care staff, we decided this was the best decision for him and for us. From the moment I first contacted Denise, I felt the compassion and willingness to help us in any way possible. The process of admission was smooth and they even set him up with the in house doctor and psychiatrist to ease things for us and provide continuity of care. It was rough dropping him off but again we were reassured that he was in good hands and that we were now able to take on a new role of Son and Daughter-In-Law, not primary caregiver. This was a huge relief for us. The staff made sure to call us with any concerns/decisions, which eased our anxiety. We still felt like we were able to do what is best for him but were able to put our trust in those who were trained and skilled in caring for people with Alzheimer's. Sadly, my Father-in-law only spent approx. 1 week there. before we found out he needed to be put on hospice. They offered to continue his care but supported our decision to bring him home with hospice care until he went to be with The Lord approx. a month and a half later. When he passed, I called Denise to let her know and asked her to let the memory care staff know that we were so grateful for them in our time of need. I feel confident that while he was at Summit Place, he received the best care but not only that, he received love from the staff. When he passed, they sent us a very meaningful card with words of encouragement. We are so grateful for everyone at Summit Place of Kings Mountain whom had a hand in his care and appreciate the care and love that he received while there.

Summit Place has been great for my mother. The staff is extremely helpful in arranging to cover special needs that my mother has. They provide personalized care and show that they care about the needs of every resident.

Our Mom moved into Summit Place's memory unit 9 months ago and she has received excellent care. The staff is very compassionate, and you are greeted warmly as soon as you walk into the place. Denise put us right at ease from the beginning of the admission process and has been so supportive and readily communicates any concerns or issues that may arise. We are so grateful for the compassion and support we received from the Summit Place staff and residents after our father passed away two months after our Mom's admission. Very caring folks. The place is very clean, and the food is excellent!! Our family has enjoyed several meals there with our Mom. All in all, the community is fortunate to have such a high quality assisted living facility. It's such a relief to know that our Mom is safe and being well cared for.

Great staff and facility. If you haven't checked them out, you should stop by and just observe the smiles on everyone's face. They are always giving back to the community as well. First class organization.
