Summerset was founded on a deep respect for people and a strong belief that we will always put our residents at the heart of everything we do. Our purpose is to 'bring the best of life' to our residents.
At Summerset the way we work is guided by our values - One Team, Strong Enough to Care, Strive to Be the Best.
Together, our purpose and values deliver a strong, positive culture for our staff - and for our residents.
