Assisted Living Communities in North Fort Myers, FL

"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."

"Discovery Commons is a special place. Julia and her staff go above and beyond in understanding individual needs and maintaining a nurturing and caring environment for their residents. My mother immediately felt welcome and a part of her new extended family. The other residents went out of their way to introduce themselves and engage with my mom. The staff is responsive and conscientious. The facility is very nice and well maintained. Plenty of activities for residents. It is truly a blessing to know my mom is in good and competent hands."

"We toured The Opal at Lakes Park. The staff was very friendly and very helpful. The building is very nice, neat, and clean. They have a nice garden area where people can sit outside. There's a lot of nature out there. It's very nature-like outside. They have a nice porch you can sit on if it's raining. They have a nice area that's all planted in pots with different plants. The food is good. They don't run out of things there, like coffee, cream, and stuff like that. The facility is very pleasant to look at. The living room is very pretty. Everything's done very nicely. They have a good activity department, too."

"Rooms are spacious, well-designed, and in excellent condition. Maid service once a week. Staff at every level are kind, caring, and provide excellent service. Facilities are beautiful and include pools, tennis and pickleball courts, Activities are plentiful and include movies, bridge, book club, current events discussions, library, gym, bingo, and many others."

"Canterfield of Fort Myers is a relatively new place. It's very nice. The room was small. My relatives were going to have a unit together in the memory care. They would keep my sister-in-law in memory care and my brother-in-law would be able to be out and about, giving him time to mingle with the regular guests there, so that was a very doable thing. However, it was expensive. The dining area looked very appealing and very adequate, but they didn't have any choices. What was posted is what you'll have, whereas the other place had at least two choices per meal. They had a pool, they had a lot of exercise and activity rooms, and it was pretty spacious. The staff member who gave the tour was very nice."

"Very professional staff, very helpful Building is very clean Great location"

"I toured The American House Coconut Point. They have 112 units for assisted living, 36 units for memory care, and 56 units for independent living, and that proportion just seemed to be off. The tour experience was very thorough. The young man who took me around knew his business. He was very cordial. However, my first impression when I walked in is, "This doesn't feel right." I've had enough experience now, and so I know where I don't fit in. The upkeep was fine. In any place I went, I didn't see anything that suggested it wasn't being taken care of. All of them were all taken care of. However, the rooms looked tired. Several of the rooms we went into were empty, because somebody had moved out or somebody was moving in. They were in the process of being fixed. There were closet doors in two of the rooms that were off track. They have a breakfast room and a bistro. They would provide two meals a day if you are independent. They have a salon onsite. There are paths for walking. Yet, for me, it is just a place I wouldn't move into."

"We’re so thankful we found Brookdale Punta Gorda Isles for our mom! It’s a smaller, welcoming community that truly feels like home, with a caring staff that treats residents like family. Her apartment is just the right size, with a beverage fridge/freezer and a microwave, offering a bit of independence with support close by. From Wendy’s warm welcome to the attentive care from Jessica, Mikey, Donna, Scott and the rest of the team, we’ve felt peace of mind every step of the way. It may not be the biggest or flashiest place, but the personal touch and genuine care make all the difference!"

"I chose Brookdale Bonita Springs, but the cost is a bit too much for me to handle right now. The people are very helpful. The administrators are great and very friendly. It's beautifully landscaped and beautifully taken care of. They have very good amenities. In general, it's a decent place to live. They go out of their way to help you. The food was very good. The structure of the building was excellent. I'd give them a ten instead of a five. The rooms are very good sized, especially the studios."

"I toured Vick Street Manor. The staff was so nice. They seemed on the same page, organized, and friendly. The facility was very clean and organized."

"We went to South Port Square. It was very clean, maintained very well, even though it was an older established facility. The person who took us on the tour was extremely knowledgeable, very friendly, and took us to lunch. Lunch was excellent. They had all kinds of activities. They had art classes and jewelry-making classes. They had a woodworking shop, a nice swimming pool, and a large off-the-main beaten path road that walked all the way around their facility, which was good for biking and walking. They even had a garden where people could plant vegetables or flowers and maintain their garden. It was an excellent place."

"I have already chosen American House Bonita Springs. I just signed all the papers. I'm still in the process of getting furniture moved in and cleaning out my house. I like the location, the upkeep of the whole unit, and the people. They have all of the appliances included. I'm very pleased with the building. They offer breakfast and dinner."

"The Courtyard could be my choice because they allow cats, which is my mother's only concern. Right now, I'm still on hold for Medicaid Diversion Program. I'm just waiting for the funding from state of Florida so I could get her in some place. The staff, as far as that goes, is very helpful, and they seem to have more connections as far as getting the funding done. They're very helpful and attentive to my mom's health and needs. She would get good care there. "
