Assisted Living in Westminster, Maryland
"We have promised ourselves that we shall always treat our residents as we would our own loved ones. Nothing less than our best will do."
This is a simple promise that the staff at Summerville at Westminster — and throughout Emeritus Senior Living communities — has shared since 1999, when our community first opened its doors. It's a simple promise to be compassionate and kind, understanding and respectful — a promise to become extended family to the seniors entrusted in our care.
Right at Home
Set on beautifully landscaped grounds with an outdoor courtyard, sprawling porch and country charm, Summerville at Westminster is one of Maryland's premier assisted living and Alzheimer's communities. Located near Main Street and Routes 32 and 140, and convenient to Baltimore, Washington DC and Gettysburg, our senior living community is in an historic mansion, with 54 apartments on two floors. Here our residents — in many cases, with their pets — enjoy retirement living in a warm, family-like atmosphere. Yet a helping hand from our warm, caring staff is always close by.
Join Their Journey - Alzheimer's and Dementia Care
Our community also offers an innovative memory care program, Join Their Journey®, for seniors affected by Alzheimer's or dementia. Because your family's experience will be unlike any other, our goal is to get to know you and your loved one, so that we can offer support and solutions for your individual situation. We "join the journey" of your loved one by recognizing individuality, encouraging choices and allowing residents the dignity to live in a secure, personalized and familiar setting that feels comfortable for them.
New friends, new beginnings
Our common areas — including our lovely dining room, wellness center and grand front porch — give residents and their loved ones the opportunity to get to know one another. We also offer a wide range of activities each month, including off-site excursions to local tourist attractions. While located in the rural rolling hills of Carroll County, Summerville at Westminster is convenient to the Town Mall, many banks, shopping and restaurants along Main Street, the Arts Council, Wal-Mart and McDaniel College, as well as several small parks and the Carroll County Farm Museum. In addition, Carroll Hospital Center and a nursing home rehabilitation center are also close by if ever needed.
