Life at Summer Hill House through the eyes of Geri and Valentina

Written by Morgan Duncan | Jan 5, 2026 2:16:35 AM

For Valentina, Summer Hill House gives her reassurance. Even when she is overseas, they stay connected through video calls. She can see her son and see that he is settled and pleased. 

Sometimes she needs a short break to recharge. Sometimes she wants time with her other son. Knowing how her son is at Summer Hill House makes that possible. 

Often, when she comes to pick him up, he cries because he wants to stay. 

“That’s because I feel safe leaving him here,” Valentina says. “And I can see he is very pleased.”
