Summit at Forts Ferry

We toured Pinnacle Living at Forts Ferry. We liked the overall community. The apartment met more than our expectations. They've got all the usual amenities, plus a swimming pool. The apartments are in beautiful condition. They have a library, a community room, and game rooms. The staff was nice, accommodating, and answered all our questions.

Services are being cut dramatically while the rents remain the same. Our pool has been closed since early October. We are told it won't open for 6 more weeks. Our breakfast program had been reduced from 7 to 5 days a week while the owner is continuing to collect full rent! Stay away! There are lots of other choices in the area.

I am 63, husband is 70. We .moved to Pinnacle 7 months ago. We love it here. A perfect combination of privacy (2 bdrm apartment) and community. Building is new, well maintained. Activities range from aqua-size in our indoor heated pool next to the sauna and hot tub, to Jeopardy, trips, potlucks, book clubs, movies in luxurious movie theater, walks, gardening club and gentle exercise classes. We have a shared breakfast buffet (no other meals) but we also have a monthly birthday party and happy hour with drinks and snacks. Garages for those who choose to pay extra. Outside parking. Grandkids and guests come to swim and play. What's not to like?

We have chosen Pinnacle Living at Forts Ferry for my parents. They haven't moved in yet, but we have put a deposit on the room. I thought it was lovely, it was a nice size, the people were very nice, and I thought that they would be very comfortable there. They have full kitchens because it's independent living. They can cook in their own homes. They don't provide meals. From what I've seen, I'm very happy with the place. They have a library, a pool, a workout room, a sauna, gathering rooms, and an art room. They have barbecues and outside space and plants like you could do gardening, and they have garages. They have transportation and activities, and they bring people in and entertain them. They have all kinds of stuff.

I'm still settling in, but so far it's nice. They have lots of different activities, which is nice - things like Supper Club with 4-course meals, outings, happy hour, etc. But generally when I'm out and about, I don't see people. They have beautiful grounds outside and picnic tables, and I never see anybody using them. The apartment is fine for me, just one person. And the staff have been very nice and helpful. They're easy to talk to. I like it here.
