My wife, with Alziemers, has been at Summerfield Encinitas for 2 months now. Her improvement in confusion & irritability is amazing. The staff is personal , kind , and very friendly.

My mother has been at Summerfield for about 2 years. We chose it in large part due to the outdoor space and walk ways. Summerfield is unique in the amount of outdoor space available to the residents.

My ex mother-in-law was a resident here and I was very impressed by the friendly attention she received. She had plenty of activities to keep her busy and entertained. Now my ex husband is there with Alzheimer's and I have visited him a few times and he is doing really well. My sons, their wives and myself visited last Saturday and we had a fun and interactive visit that made us all happy.
