"We will be putting Dad to American House Fort Myers and we chose it just because of the newness of the facility, the cleanliness, and the amount of residents that they currently had was a smaller amount. The care ratio was very good. It was like 7 residents to 1 caregiver and we liked it for those reasons. As far as the drawbacks or what I like the least about it, I don't have much of an opinion on that because there wasn't anything that stood out to be subpar compared to the other places that I visited. As we get dad in there and kind of see how he does, there may be something that might arise. Everybody's been very friendly. Theresa, who is the intake coordinator, has been very helpful for us and helping us with the process in getting him in and all of his medical information in line. That all went very smoothly. The rooms have a nice open layout, like a studio layout. They have nice floors and they're clean. They have handicap-accessible walk-in showers, which is very nice. So, we anticipate that there's going to be a lot of room for Dad there. We looked over the menu and we learned that they have an in-house chef and they have meals planned out for the entire month, which we appreciated. We liked the fact that he could have a refrigerator and keep food in his room, which is going to work out well, but we haven't tried the food yet. They have a nice, closed courtyard. It's very expansive and it's open around the clock for anyone in memory care to access, which is going to work out well for my dad. They have a nice rec room that we were impressed with. They have two in memory care. One that has kind of an open kitchen where they have food and all kinds of snacks laid out throughout the day. Then they also have one that has a television and a nice fish tank there. I didn't see anything as far as the pool or exercise room, but we wouldn't need that anyway."
