Four years ago, Gary and his wife, Marcia, chose to make The Summit their home—and today, Gary says that decision has more than proven itself. 💙
“We looked at several retirement communities. Without question, The Summit is the best, and after living here for four years, that has been proven. A nonprofit keeps up with maintenance and enhancements, and the location is the best!”
— Gary M., Summit Resident
We’re so grateful to have Gary and Marcia as part of The Summit community!
