SummerHouse Bailey Place provides thoughtful, compassionate care in a warm, lively senior living community.

We develop individual care plans to meet the needs of each resident, and a full-time registered nurse is available 24 hours a day to provide clinical oversight and coordination of care. Our residents engage in a variety of activities, such as tai chi, bible study, bingo, card and board games, ice cream socials, and popcorn and movie night. We invite local entertainers to our community, and also go on outings for picnics, dining at local restaurants, and shopping. Please note: While our community welcomes visitors 24/7, business operations are conducted during standard business hours.
