Potomac Senior Living Community

A Wonderful Active Lifestyle

Our senior living community combines elegance with a homey family-oriented atmosphere. From our lovely sunroom with floor-to-ceiling windows, to our country kitchen and café, every aspect of our community is designed for the comfort and convenience of our residents. Our focus is always our residents--their health, well-being and happiness directs everything we do. They help us plan activities and trips. In fact, all activities are resident-approved. They decide exactly how their apartment is furnished and decorated; and their care plan is customized to their exact needs. Creating a community around our residents needs, and providing comprehensive on-site rehabilitation services, are among the key reasons so many of our residents have called Summerville at Potomac home for more than a decade.

As we like to tell our new residents, “You have to make a real effort to be bored at our community!” We have a very active social program that includes Bingo, Fit after Fifty-T and Chair Fitness programs, Ti Chi with a Grand Master, holiday celebrations including both Jewish and Christian holidays, movie nights, discussions about food such as “Why Avocado?, Why Pasta?” and All About Asian Food, crafts, games including spy games, word games, trivia and Jeopardy; Bible studies, Gift of Torah discussions, religious services including Shabbat services, Catholic communion and Catholic mass, art shows, lobby socials, and at least six concerts are held at our community every month.

Partnering with the Local Neighborhood Community

We have a staff member who, along with our memory care director, is certified by the Alzheimer’s Association to facilitate support groups. These groups provide education and support to help our family members cope with the changes their loved ones are experiencing. The community is also welcome; in fact, we plan to have our program listed with the local Alzheimer’s Association to encourage drop-ins.

Summerville at Potomac is strongly connected to the community. In fact, every month, there are several community groups, including our local Girl Scouts, a breast-feeding group, a professional networking group and Overeaters’ Club that host their get-togethers here. Residents are always invited to attend.

Fine Dining

It’s not surprising that so many outside groups from all over the Northeast choose to hold their events here. Our dining services director does a fantastic job, and our food gets rave reviews. All meals are served restaurant-style in which residents are waited on by our professional wait staff whose sole job is to serve food. The menu changes every day and offers many options, including an alternative entrée selection. Residents can also let us know if there is a specific type of food they would particularly enjoy, and we will do our best to accommodate their request. We offer two seatings for each meal; if a resident misses their regular seating, they are always welcome to come earlier or later. If necessary, we can also bring meals to their apartment, or for residents who wish to have a private dinner with their families, our staff will serve them in our private dining room. Our dining services director can also cater to any dietary restriction, including sugar-free, carbohydrate-controlled, gluten-free, vegetarian and mechanical soft. A dietician works hand-in-hand with the dining services director to review the needs of each resident and ensure their nutritional requirements are met. All kinds of snacks and beverages are available throughout the building, any time, day or night.
