Thank you to everyone who joined us last week at Boonsboro Country Club to learn more about AgeSmart with LifeSpire!
We enjoyed two wonderful informational luncheons and the opportunity to introduce more people in the Lynchburg area to this unique option for planning ahead.
AgeSmart with LifeSpire is a Continuing Care at Home program designed for adults 55+ who want to continue living in the home they love while having a plan in place for future care and support.
If you weren’t able to attend one of our luncheons, we’d be happy to meet with you personally. Call The Summit Marketing Office at 434.333.2138 to schedule an appointment and learn more.
And be sure to read our latest blog to learn more about AgeSmart with LifeSpire and how the program works.

Progress is taking shape at The Summit!
We know there have been delays, and at times construction progress may seem slow. But there is a lot happening across The Summit campus — and these latest drone photos give us a great bird’s-eye view of just how much is taking shape!
Memory Support continues to come together.
New roads and sidewalks are going in throughout campus.
Blue Ridge Commons now has stone on the exterior.
Aspen and Hickory Hybrid Homes, part of Phase 3, are beginning to take shape.
There’s still plenty of work ahead, but it’s exciting to see the progress happening across campus. We look forward to watching these new spaces come to life and sharing more updates along the way!
