Summit of Uptown, a senior living community in Park Ridge, will celebrate its grand re-opening Tuesday, Sept. 26, from 4:30 to 6 p.m. with a celebration for the entire community it has called home for more than 30 years.

Well-known throughout the area for offering the best of Independent Living and personalized Assisted Living, Summit has been providing quality services for seniors for more than three decades in the iconic building that has anchored the corner of Summit and Touhy for more than 50 years—first as Summit Square Retirement Hotel and more recently as Summit of Uptown. Today, Summit looks forward to a future that builds on that reputation with its recently opened Memory Care Neighborhood that specializes in caring for those with Alzheimer's and other memory impairments.

"We invite everyone to come and help us celebrate this new chapter in our history and see our transformation," said Wilson Anhar, Executive Director of Summit of Uptown https://www.arborcompany.com/locations/illinois/park-ridge-summit-of-uptown. The updated look and new lifestyle features include a movie room, fitness center, salon, an independent living wellness center and an assisted living and memory care wellness center, meeting rooms, newly remodeled and furnished main dining room, a 24/7 self-serve bistro, an art room, a game room, a library, and two outdoor gardens—one for independent living and assisted living and a secure garden for memory care. Massage services and physical therapy will also be available.

"We are proud to be part of the history of this town. These enhancements will help us provide the kind of signature services that people in the area have come to expect from Summit," said Anhar. "We look forward to this new chapter in our history which will allow us to provide a continuum of care that will meet the needs of our seniors at all levels of care."
