Santaro Memorial Park, Brookdale Summerfield is close to what you need and want—shopping, dining, places of worship and medical offices. You can explore Syracuse’s arts and culture scene or check out a new restaurant for brunch. Here you can connect with new friends who share your interests and hobbies and feel like part of your tribe. And you’re not worried about laundry or doing the dishes because we’ve got that covered for you. But we’re here for so much more. We can also help you build new friendships, rediscover an old passion and enjoy independence in this new stage of life.
Brookdale Summerfield thrives with activities like the Watercolor Wonders Group, morning meditation and the Historical Reflections Club. Enjoy movie nights under the stars or participate in the Recipe Swap Group to share culinary favorites. Each day offers opportunities for fun and friendship.
