My mother received no meds, before bed time. No one checked on her overnight. We could not even warm up her coffee, coffee cups were not allowed out at the room. We signed her out by 9 am. Don't send your loved one to this place.

This place and others like it are not staffed properly.The CNA's do all the work and the nurses only seem to administer medicine. So basically 20 people around but only 4 physically help patients. What really angers me is the whole time we were there they said her arm pain was a good sign but after speaking to qualified professionals elsewhere we discover her arm was dislocating itself and she should have been in a special sling! Pure incompetence!! I won't go on as to why I detest this place but Please, take your loved one someplace else! But if you have to come here be with them every single day! Don't leave them here alone! And shame on Lynchburg General Hospital for recommending this place to people!

This facility is for full time dementia care. My mother was there from the day it was it open to…read moreresidents until December of '22....five years. The design of the building is excellent and the staff tries to keep the residents engaged. Service declined due to staffing issues during Covid but things were returning to normal. The staff showed my mother love during her five years. After talking to others with elderly parents with memory issues, I feel like Pearls Of Life was the best place in Lynchburg for my mother. It's not cheap. Just a tip for anyone in any facility like this, don't expect your loved one's "things" to remain in their room. Between staff laundry and other residents, my mother's closet and drawers ended up half full of other folk's clothes. Furniture and pictures disappeared. But that should be expected. As I said, the staff was loving and did their best with my mother and all the other residents. The activities director is top-notch. The facilities director is a very caring caring person and has to deal with a lot of pressure from families, staff, the state, and his organization. If my mom had to have dementia, I'm glad I had a place like Pearls of Life for her to live out her final days.

They have lots of activites set up for the residents. (I won 75 cents at bingo!) The food seemed good as I ate breakfast with her one morning. There is a nice live/work/play community across the street with plenty of shops & restaurants. Good greenspaces nearby. Obviously, you would want to check it out yourself if you need this type of care for yourself or a loved one, but it seems to be the best choice in the area.

I had a parent here for several years. There were wonderful CNA'S here HOWEVER there is no medical…read morecare to speak of. The problems I encountered were due to the lack of management. The elderly need to be able to age in place. The Summit wants to administer the bare essentials of providing for the elderly. If they perceive the resident may need a little more help, they're out of there. Unfortunately, over the years The Summit transitioned from being an assisted living to a glorified babysitter for the elderly.

The FedEx tracking information I received shows the delivery time, and Harry and David confirmed delivery. When I called the receptionist to ask, their explanation was that someone at front desk will deliver packages to residents sometime in the evenings. But they had no way to track or confirm any past deliveries. The delivery address clearly stated the name, address, and unit number. This experience was very disconcerting as to the security of any future deliveries. Very disappointing as I've heard this is a great place to live.

I can't say enough about Companion Home Care. Michelle Belton allowed me to keep my dad at home…read morewith a MOMENTS notice during COVID. The nationally advertised company I was using couldn't meet basic requests for months and I knew would never meet the challenge when I was faced with what turned into day and overnight care. Companion Home Care is a local company and Michelle has gone above and beyond for my dad and family over and over again. Every bump in the road I faced was met with Michelle's help. I am so thankful to her for giving me the gift of keeping my dad with me the last six months of his life. I learned so much from the providers that made things I was struggling with easier. He had the same people daily for months. Caring for a parent with dementia and health needs was more challenging than I could have imagined. My 93 year old dad was 6'5" tall, had mobility problems, advanced dementia, was legally blind, and had many health issues. Because of Michelle's dedication, my dad was able to stay with us and received wonderful care before and during hospice. My dad loved the people caring for him. They were sweet, kind, thoughtful, and did their job well. I never worried about his care. He was happy and the providers were well trained and knew how to take care of him. Everyone arrived as scheduled without exception and I was able to meet the work challenges I was facing during COVID. They made such a stressful year so much better. Some how, Michelle met the challenges I faced each and every time, even with the problems COVID added. They were all there for my dad until the very end. I will be forever grateful to them all.

Other home care companies sent different caregivers from week to week and there was never any stability for her. Companion Home Care was a God send as they sent the same caregiver each day, who my grandmother happened to LOVE, and even when she was not available they had a quick replacement that was fantastic. Huge thanks to Michelle and Companion Home Care.

Even if those needs change over time, they will work with you to make sure your loved one receives all the care they need. I would also like to point out their staff and in particular Brittany, Heather, Jenifer, Darlene and the countless others behind the scene I haven't met yet. They all go above and beyond, so if you're in the market for in-home care and/or medical staffing look no further.
