Is SummerSide Communities an Assisted Living Center?
No, it is very different. SummerSide is a full-ownership condominium project with a staffed front desk, flexible daily living services such as housecleaning, laundry, meal preparation, errands, transportation, and status checks.

SummerSide is not a licensed health care provider and does not directly provide medical care or advice. SummerSide does not arrange or pay for health care services received by SummerSide residents. However, it is anticipated that an independent home health company will have an office and personnel on site to assist residents. SummerSide residents may contract with this on-site provider or may choose another medical provider, but the resident is responsible to arrange for any health care services. Health care services are generally billed to Mdeicare, a private insurer, and in some instances, self-pay.

SummerSide is unique in that it combines full ownership condominiums with a preferred provider of health care services. These services are more extensive than those found in Assisted Living Centers and can range from assistance with medications to personal hygiene to physical therapy to skilled/long term care services. This allows a SummerSide resident to “age in place” never having to move again!

Is living in a SummerSide Community more costly than living in an Assisted Living Center?
No. In fact, we believe that when you compare your cost to live in a SummerSide Community that it will be significantly less. Your monthly cost could be as much as 20-30% less. This is due to the services being flexible—you pay only for what you want. In addition, you own your unit rather than paying a monthly rental fee.
