Summit, the

A skilled nursing facility is a residential setting where licensed nurses are on hand around the clock, for people who need more medical care than can be managed at home.

Residents here have access to skilled nursing care, long-term nursing home care and assisted living. Residents live on site with nursing staff on hand at any hour, and are helped with everyday tasks such as washing, dressing, medication and meals.

For more information, contact SUMMIT, THE by phone at (816) 931-1196. It is worth asking about current openings, which costs are covered by Medicare or insurance, and whether you can tour the facility before deciding.
