Summit Vista

Summit Vista is my home. I moved from Arkansas to Summit Vista to be near my family who were the only people in Utah I knew. However, shortly after moving into Summit Vista I became a part of a caring, loving, and interesting community with all the activities and socialization here at my home

Moving to Summit Vista has been the best decision I have made for my retirement. The environment here is energizing. I feel empowered to reinvent myself. Such a diverse community encourages interesting conversations and friendships. I have taken up pottery, returned to piano playing, and honed some watercolor techniques. I enjoy the groups and clubs we have started--glee club, book club, drama, pickle ball, band, game night, canine club--about anything one could imagine. I am a more fulfilled and happy person here at Summit Vista, with the prospects of a meaningful life for as long as the Fates allow.

Summit Vista is a wonderful place to live! Friendly staff and residents, great service, good food, and safe and secure. Last week a friend asked me if I would like to house-sit for her so that I could have a change of scenery while she goes out of town. Initially, that sounded appealing, but when I got to thinking about the fact that here I can go to the gym, the pool, chat with others in the clubhouse, participate in outdoor activities, and only cook when I want to... it was a no brainer that even in spite of the pandemic, I have more to do here than I would anyplace else! Love living here!

Life requires us to make changes from time to time. We have found that to be true each time we moved into a new home/neighborhood. Each move was going to be the last--we would die there. Then failing health came along. It was difficult to care for a large home and yard. The first time we attended a presentation by the Summit Vista staff we were hooked. Interestingly enough, those same awesome men and women are still managing Summit Vista and taking care of our every need. We feel appreciated, loved, respected and valued. We have all the physical comforts of home with no work or worry involved. The clubhouse provides every amenity we could wish for (well, a movie theater would be nice and maybe that will come to the campus later). There is no place else we would rather be at this time. Our children have no need to be concerned about our health and welfare especially during the pandemic. We drastically downsized before our move. Our kids are happy they won't have to take on that responsibility in the future. We love Summit Vista!

There is not ONE best thing about Summit Vista, there are so many best things! I will try to sum it all up with one statement - Care-free living in a beautiful setting with lots of amenities plus a fantastic group of friendly management and employees who take good care of us.Janice Laramie Howard
