Low Vision Program

Having trouble with your vision? You're not alone. More than 6.5 million Americans over the age of 55 experience vision loss. Our Low Vision Program provides the tools and training for increased independence when your vision begins to fade. Our Low Vision Program offers many adaptive devices and techniques to improve your vision and to help make it easier to cope with daily life activities.
Swallowing Program

VitalStim Therapy is a safe and effective, FDA-approved treatment for patients with swallowing disorders. The goals of this program are to strengthen and re-educate the muscles in the throat and improve motor control of the swallowing mechanism. Research shows this method has a greater success in regaining normal swallow as opposed to traditional methods of exercise and diet modification alone. Our Swallowing Program Therapist is certified.

SummitWest Care provides our patients with a Personal Safety Alert System. This is helpful with patients who are not steady on their feet at all times, experiencing frequent falls and/or recovering from a surgery or injuries. Help is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year with just the click of a button.

In-Home Support Services (IHSS)

Our program will train and educate family members and friends to care for their loved ones. If you have Medicaid you may qualify for this program. The program is designed to provide care, training & resources at home for elderly, disabled or children with disabilities. We can train and educate family members or friends to care for the client while they work as an employee of SummitWest Care. If no family member or friend is available, we will train a caregiver for the patient and their specific needs.
Life Care Planning

We offer solutions to crisis situations. Unplanned events in life are difficult to deal with. We can help. Our Social Workers are trained to be the pivotal link between independent in-home care and our clients. Our Social Workers can mediate and offer solutions to crisis situations, as well as teach independent behavioral skills. Our Life Care Planning program empowers the elderly generation to make decisions for themselves. We evaluate individual needs, provide options to develop a life care and crisis prevention plan and provide and teach advocacy services.

Hear it from the people we proudly serve

We are committed to an experience of compassionate, quality care.

“When first starting, I had no idea what to expect or what I needed. It was all new territory to me. I definitely had my guard up. Morgan and Pam broke down my barriers and fears. They took the time to explain and made sure I understood what was happening. They became members of my care team. When it came time to move forward in my recovery, it was sad that my time with them was over. Morgan and Pam promised a lot and delivered more. As issues came up, they were always available with their knowledge and compassion. All I can say about SummitWest Care is WOW!”
Dale R.

SummitWest Care staff was really nice and caring!
Pat

SummitWest Care was a Godsend. I had bilateral knee replacements and having physical therapy at home for the first few weeks was so helpful. James T. was our PT, he helped everyone understand what we were trying to obtain as a result from physical therapy. His professionalism and encouragement made me try harder and he tolerated our crazy dogs and family. Thank you!
Janet Grant

We have used SummitWest Care four different times and have always received very good care. This time, the PT, Deb was exceptional in her care and gave very good information to both the patient and their family. Kaylee the CNA was also awesome!
Mary Ann C.

I had your agency in February, 2018. My physical therapist was Brian. He was wonderful. So helpful and related to me as an older woman. Thank you for your other caring personnel. Keep up the good service to the community!
Mary

Each clinician really listened to my questions and gave me a clear answer or offered very practical ideas for around and in the house. I feel stronger now and I know my health has improved. Pam and Deb were especially good at giving me encouragement and listening.
