Spiritual Care Week is October 18-24, and we are honored to celebrate the chaplains and spiritual care professionals who provide comfort, encouragement, and meaningful connection every day.

At The Summit, we're grateful for Chaplain Jacob Palma, pictured at this year's Vacation Bible Study, a ministry he and our activities team launched in our community that has since inspired similar programs across LifeSpire communities.

Join us in thanking Jacob and all our team members who provide spiritual support! 💙

We love hearing from the residents about their experience at The Summit.

Thank you to everyone who joined us last week at Boonsboro Country Club to learn more about AgeSmart with LifeSpire!

We enjoyed two wonderful informational luncheons and the opportunity to introduce more people in the Lynchburg area to this unique option for planning ahead.

AgeSmart with LifeSpire is a Continuing Care at Home program designed for adults 55+ who want to continue living in the home they love while having a plan in place for future care and support.

If you weren’t able to attend one of our luncheons, we’d be happy to meet with you personally. Call The Summit Marketing Office at 434.333.2138 to schedule an appointment and learn more.

And be sure to read our latest blog to learn more about AgeSmart with LifeSpire and how the program works.

Progress is taking shape at The Summit!

We know there have been delays, and at times construction progress may seem slow. But there is a lot happening across The Summit campus — and these latest drone photos give us a great bird’s-eye view of just how much is taking shape!

Memory Support continues to come together.

New roads and sidewalks are going in throughout campus.

Blue Ridge Commons now has stone on the exterior.

Aspen and Hickory Hybrid Homes, part of Phase 3, are beginning to take shape.

There’s still plenty of work ahead, but it’s exciting to see the progress happening across campus. We look forward to watching these new spaces come to life and sharing more updates along the way!

Today, we're thankful not only for our hard-working team members and the dedication they bring to our community, but also for our residents, whose years of service and ongoing contributions continue to inspire us. Wishing you a happy and healthy Labor Day!
