Communities in Punta Gorda, FL

"What attracted me to Lexington Manor were the square footage and the price. Everything is included except for transportation to the doctor's office. They also provide the activities and the food. The staff is very positive and very happy to have a job in which they enjoy working with the people. They never show any stress to the family members. We have a studio for my mother. At first, she frowned because she thought it was too small, but then she was surprised with what we got in there. It is more like home. She hasn’t come home since I put her in there; she is enjoying it so much. It is a five-star place, but they should have better toilet paper, and my mom thinks they should provide towels, too. "

"My mother has been in Sterling House for years. She didn't really have any negative experiences. Most of the staff was okay. I don't they are given proper food. I've seen and even tasted some of my mom's food and it's just not that nutritious. Overall, it was a pretty positive experience. "

"We like the little apartment villas at The Gallery at North Port. I love them because it felt like it was more of a home. You get storage and there's more space. I felt more like how we live now because we got a pretty large house and going down to a tiny little place doesn't work in my head. The other one I love about them is it's right next to that amazing shopping area, restaurants, and everything. The people there were very, very friendly and very nice. The lady who showed us around was lovely. It's nice and it's also peaceful."

"Brookdale Rotonda was very clean. The staff were phenomenal people. They were very personable and very nice people. Their building was kind of like a big square pattern and the courtyards were in the middle. Everybody's got their own room. They said that the residents there wanted to put up a screen door, which I thought was pretty cool. They put up a screen door so they can have the door open and still have a screen door there. It's almost like having your own place. The only thing that knocks it down is that whole nickel and dime thing like if my mom had to have medication given to her, they're going to charge you more. Everything's just on top of the base."

"Our experience is going very well. They provide an excellent variety of activities. The level of care by the staff is excellent. They provide transportation to doctor's offices as well as weekly grocery shopping. The three meals they provide offer variety and the food is very good. I'm pleased. My mom's room is very nice. The place is relatively new and fresh which is very appealing. There are many common areas that have more than adequate seating as well as television. They have open spaces for cooking, card games, and bingo. It's very well laid out and it's not too big or too small. My mom has housekeeping, laundry, and assistance with showering twice a week if she would like."

"Grand Villa of Englewood is a very pretty community, and the staff there are wonderful. My sister has moved into their assisted living and her room is very nice. The facility is very appealing in appearance and their staff is round-the-clock care. They have medication reminders, they have 3 meals a day and a chef there, and they help with showering if you need it. They have a hair salon there too."

"My favorite place was Brookdale Cape Coral. The rooms were very nice, and I enjoyed speaking with Meg. She has kept in close contact with me and offered me assistance in any way that she can, even though I'm not ready to place my loved one in a care facility yet. We've been in contact every month, and she's been very informative and would even allow me to call and talk. They had singing and gatherings in their common area with music, and some people were being served snacks or something. I visited the Alzheimer's facility, and the staff there was so kind and gentle with the residents. I was very impressed with how the staff interacted with the residents. "

"My dad is in an assisted living. He is at Calusa Harbour. He has a one-room unit with a bathroom. It has a refrigerator and a little sink. The staff members are all polite and friendly. They take them out, and they go shopping. My dad does go out to lunch with them. They have all sorts of activities, but he opts not to participate. Food has been excellent. "

"We like that The Gallery at Cape Coral is clean, new and roomy, and the people are very, very nice. The food is very good. We just like everything about it. We're staying in a one-bedroom unit. They offer exercise and continental breakfast. Their dining room is open from 11 to 7, and they have a full bar and a gym. We haven't been here long enough to get involved in activities, but from all we've seen, everything is very good."

"My dad moved into Highpoint at Cape Coral 2 weeks ago. It is a very nice memory care facility. The staff just seems to be caring and there's a lot of them in memory care, which is good. I just think that they don't have enough activities for him who is a little higher functioning. They offer bingo and movies, and they have a men's group. They have a salon and an exercise room."

"I saw a two-bedroom and the layout was good. The dining area was normal with tablecloths. The staff was excellent. The residents were playing a card game. They had a pool and a library."

"My in-laws have moved in. It's very pleasant. One of them is in assisted living and one is in skilled nursing. I have seen it briefly, but with COVID it is almost impossible. I have had some meetings with the staff there. It seems lovely. They're very caring; they're lovely people. I saw the dining area when we got into the entrance and it looked very nice. I have not seen the rooms. At this point, I don't know about their activities. I know my father-in-law plays piano there, but other than that, because of COVID, I have no idea."

"The Goldton at Venice was excellent. The people who toured us around were very knowledgeable. I saw the guy who handled the physical therapy. The dining room was exceptional. The rooms were very well kept and clean. It was a really nice location. It was very clean and sparkly. I was impressed. I would have put my husband there, but it's not going to come about."

"My mother-in-law is already placed in A Banyan Residence. They're caring and very attentive to all of the residents' needs. There's a fountain, there are many activities, they have a hair salon and manicures which they do once a week. They have daily activities for assisted living as well as memory care, and it's all together, like playing bingo. Overall, I'm very satisfied."
