HISTORY

Summit Place West is a nonprofit corporation sponsored by Lakeview Manor, a skilled and intermediate care nursing center that has been recognized for its superior care for the past 30 plus years. Lakeview Manor was founded in 1968 by Rev. Thomas Paino, Jr., who remains active in the oversight and direction of both Lakeview Manor and now Summit Place West.

Lakeview Manor has also sponsored two affordable senior housing projects: Lakeview Village, Speedway, Indiana, in 1979 and Lakeview Place, Danville, Indiana, in 1987. Rev. Paino's son, Tim Paino, has worked with him since 1974 in each of these projects and continues as the Executive Director of this exciting community.

Tim brings both his knowledge of health care as a licensed Health Facility Administrator and his 25 plus years of experience as a senior housing manager together to create a home with the support services to help the resident remain independent as long as possible.

"On behalf of my father and the entire Lakeview Manor organization, I'm proud to introduce Summit Place West's assisted living community as a fresh, exciting alternative to traditional nursing home care. We trust you'll find our professional staff to be friendly and capable and our beautiful campus comfortable and inviting - just like home."
