    My experience with Summit Hills was not just disappointing, it was alarming…read more They have a strong sales process. You will walk away thinking your loved one is going to be well cared for and supported. After the move in, that level of attention disappears. From that point on, you are largely on your own. If your loved one is fully independent, this facility may work. If they decline, do not assume the care will adjust to meet that need. In my experience, it did not. Care here is inconsistent and unpredictable. There are a few staff members who clearly care, but others appear disengaged. The larger issue is management. There does not seem to be a consistent standard being enforced, which leaves families relying on chance instead of a dependable level of care. Basic expectations were not reliably met. Cleanliness, housekeeping, and routine support were inconsistent. Issues that should have been handled quickly were not, and follow through was lacking. This does not feel like a resident first environment. Too many decisions seem driven by what is easiest for staff rather than what is best for the people living there. Communication follows the same pattern, slow, unclear, and requiring repeated follow up. If you place a loved one here, plan to stay heavily involved. You will likely spend more time checking on their care than you expect, simply to ensure basic needs are being met. At this cost, the level of inconsistency is hard to justify. You may get good care, or you may not. That uncertainty alone should make any family stop and think very carefully before making this decision.

HOWEVER the HR at this facility is TERRIBLE. The woman named Shelby runs HR and she is truly the most unhelpful and miserable person I've ever met. Besides that it is a beautiful safe community that is really tight knit like family. You or your loved one would enjoy the atmosphere.

    My Mom was a resident in the memory care area of Watercrest for several years. I don't have much…read moreto compare to as this was the only facility she was in other than a couple of short term stays in rehabilitation facilities prior to Watercrest. But you really have no way to know if a place is good until your loved one is actually a resident there - and that can be scary. I can only comment on my experience, but here goes... The place is relatively new, very nice and clean. The security in the memory care area is great. The residents have indoor and outdoor areas that are secure - so they can be mobile within the unit, but not get out of the secure area. The staff is what makes this place great though. I believe the staff truly care for the patients and their families. It seems that everyone there is so nice. As I said, my mom was there several years (just before the start of Covid) and so there were many staffing changes. Every new staff member cared about my mom just like the prior staff members. I don't know if they have a pipeline of excellent people or if they teach a culture that provides the results of truly caring. Regardless, it is seen and felt and a blessing during the difficult time of trusting someone else to provide the care your loved one needs. An example of this occurred in January. My mom was all but non verbal at this point. The staff one morning said she just did not seem like herself. Nothing specific was wrong, she was just different than the day before so they wanted her to go to the hospital to be checked out. When you have several patients, I imagine it would be easy to just run through the day and not notice little things like that - but that is not how they treated my mom. They noticed. They were concerned. So they reached out to us and let us know why they were concerned and what they recommended. It turns out my mom did have a medical concern and it was caught early due to the staff paying attention to my mom and recommending a trip to the hospital. We knew my mom would be at Watercrest until her dementia and all the side effects of it eventually took her. She left Watercrest recently upon her passing. So many staff comforted my sister and I. Some prayed with us, some prayed for us. All were amazing. At the end of the day, buildings are nice but the staff is what we loved about Watercrest. As I said, I cannot comment on other places. However, I am well aware that the people here make all the difference. To the Staff: Thank you all for making a very difficult situation for my family as easy as possible for several years. It was much appreciated and we slept well at night knowing how you cared for my mom. God Bless You All and Thank You for the caregiving you do for so many every single day.

    My doctor suggested Pisgah Manor, in Candler, for my 3 week in house rehab after a fall dislocated…read moremy shoulder and hurt my back. As they wheeled me through the door, in a wheelchair, I noticed that the facility was almost brand new.... I think. Everything was clean and shining. All the staff had wonderful smiles on their faces and I knew this was my happy home for the next 3 weeks. The food was excellent especially if you're a fan of southern cooking; however, if you're a northerner like me, they will accommodate you for each meal. But the southern flare was so good, I went in a northerner and left 3 weeks later a southerner. Anyway, I had physical therapy 5 hours a week (M-F) and occupational therapy 5 hours a week (M-F). My PT and my OT people were fantastic. They worked with me to give me the maximum benefit in my rehabilitation. I felt myself getting stronger everyday. The nursing staff worked very hard to bring me the maximum comfort, provide my meds in a timely fashion, and yet those hard working nurses always had a smile for me all the time. My doctors recommendation of this facility was, without a doubt, the right place for me. I came in a wheelchair and 3 weeks later I danced out the door.
