As we close out 2025, we reflect on what a great year we’ve had at the Summit. Among many things, we look forward to more service projects in 2026 by our new volunteer group, The Summit Helping Hands. We successfully completed our very first project: wrapping gifts for five individuals through the Adopt-A-Family program at our neighbors, St. Mary of the Assumption in Hockessin.

Thanks to 21 dedicated members, we were able to fulfill the Christmas wishes of two local teenagers (one from Serviam Academy and one from Nativity Prep) and three Veterans residing in the local Veterans Nursing Home. The mission of The Summit Helping Hands is to give back to the community and remind others that the residents of the Summit truly wish to make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.

What if the secret to having more enjoyable holidays isn't doing more, but doing less? 🎄 In our latest episode, Senior Memory Care Director Regina Trent reveals how families who have loved ones with dementia are rediscovering holiday joy by simplifying traditions, timing visits differently, and focusing on what truly matters: comfort, familiarity, and being together. From decorating wreaths to sharing cocoa in vintage Santa mugs, these small moments create the biggest memories.
