The Summit of Uptown Changes Owners in Mid-September

Summit to transition to new owners in mid-September

The ownership of The Summit of Uptown will transition to Capitol Seniors Housing (CSH), a well-regarded senior living investment firm based in Washington, D.C. around Sept. 18 according to Marc Dennison, current owner of the family-owned and operated senior living community in Park Ridge. “We are excited about what this means for Summit residents, their families, our staff and the community,” said Dennison.

CSH uses The Arbor Company based in Atlanta, GA, to manage properties which will include The Summit. Arbor’s President, Judd Harper, pledges the new management company will remain committed to providing high quality and comprehensive services to Summit residents as they do in all their communities across the United States. He said, “Arbor’s philosophy is that the residents and staff of Summit come first. We will maintain what has been great and improve where we can.”

Scott Stewart, Managing Partner of CSH, said, “We have long wanted to return to Illinois and the Chicago area. We can’t think of a better place to start than Park Ridge.”

The first immediate change is that the new owners will invest additional resources to update and complete the extensive renovation of The Summit which was started several years ago.

“We believe it is the culture of The Arbor Company that sets us apart from other senior living providers,” Judd said. “When we first visited Summit of Uptown, we were delighted to see how connected Summit is to the surrounding community. That level of commitment will continue under the new ownership.”

Judd also noted that the care, friendship and concern Summit has provided over the last 30+ years will not change and will only be enhanced by adding services and amenities. All staff will be retained and will continue in their current capacities. Irene Sawka, remaining at Summit in her current capacity as Executive Director, added, “We know that the new owners bring with them substantial experience, a strong backup management team, and the capital needed to make Summit even more successful.”

The Arbor Company is an Atlanta-based operator of more than 25 independent living, assisted living and memory care communities, serving seniors and their families in 10 states. With 30 years of dedication, The Arbor Company is recognized as one of the most progressive operators in the industry, and intently focused on delivering the best care and service possible.
