The Best Senior Living Communities in Bonita Springs, FL

"My 90 year old mother was living at an independent living center in Naples, needed additional care and we had to move quickly. We looked at 6 different memory care facilities locally and Bayshore was in a class by itself. The Bayshore team was very responsive and very flexible to accommodate us. My mom has been there almost 2 months now and we couldn’t be happier. We know she is clean and safe. The staff is professional, caring and very friendly. The food is very good and there are plenty of activities for mom. The facilities are first class and I would recommend Bayshore with reservation. "

"I went to Naples Green Village, but they don't take Medicaid. The person who walked me around was very knowledgeable. It was very nice. If I could afford it, I would put my mom there. It was clean. It was well-run and very nice. The staff was very friendly, very knowledgeable, and patient. The rooms seemed to be kept in good condition. The dining area was beautiful and very nice. It was clean. It was put together, and it was inviting. You felt like you were in a restaurant. I know that they have a daily activity board, but I didn't really look."

"I liked Brookdale North Naples. It's cleaner than the other place, but the hallways are smaller. I liked the views more. Everything about it was great. Everybody was very nice and very helpful with answering questions and giving me information. It was really good. We weren't there at lunchtime, but we were invited to come back. It was laid out nicely."

"I have found a place for my sister in Naples, and it's called AdviniaCare Naples. We chose it for the location, the overall condition, and its look. Everything was very neat, clean, and fresh, and the sales representative was very, very helpful in helping me figure things out for my sister. I didn't try the food, but I'll be making another visit. I did look at the menu, the dining room had white tablecloths and it looked very nice, but I haven't tried the food yet. They have physical therapy. They have a whole list of activities for the month, and they gave me a calendar of all the different activities that are planned for the month. Some include exercise and some include arts and crafts. There are just lots of different things that I think my sister would be interested in. Even the smallest room was very well done. The paint looked new, the baseboards were fresh, there were no scrape marks on the walls, which I've seen in a lot of places, and it was spacious for one person. It had a refrigerator and microwave plus a sink, which many of them do not have. It also had a nice big window with lots of light."

"I loved Bradford Square Retirement Community. I loved the structure of the building and the interior, and it has a much better layout of everything in the apartment than the other place. It was very nice. They have a nice walk-in closet. There was a very intelligent designer that made up the apartment, making use of every square inch. That was so nice. You walk in and you just say, "This is the one I want." The whole place is beautiful. The people are very nice. The staff introduced me to the head manager and we had a nice little talk in the office, and then she took me on a tour. It was lunchtime and she said, "I would like to have you go in and have lunch and sit with one of the residents," and I did. She told me a lot of things too. I was treated royally. The food was so good. They have waiters there all the time and they don't let the water glass go down more than halfway, and then they fill it up again. Everything was topnotch."

"My mother will be moving into Sandalwood Village. They have their own apartments. They're very nicely laid out and they have a lot of extra things available for them. They had the pool, exercises, and painting classes, and they have a chef that comes in five nights a week with a meal plan. The meal plan is extra, but the breakfast is not. On my mom's floor, they've partnered up with a physical therapist and they specialize in rheumatoid arthritis and things like that. They took an apartment, so they have availability for that. They take them shopping and to doctors. They have transportation six days a week. They take them on outings. As long as mom can stay independent, we would like to keep her there. They have a lot of amenities. The staff is wonderful. I saw how they interact with the clients, and it's great. It's six miles from my house, so I can see her every single day. They have a couple of emergency pull strings, one in the bedroom and one in the bathroom. The apartments were nice. They each have their own washer and dryer and you have your own thermostat. They maintain some level of independence, which is important to my mom, and yet, they have staff on hand and they keep an eye on them. I've seen the menus. One night, it was bacon-wrapped scallops and filet mignon together. They get a salad, soup, coffee, and dessert and for dinner, they'll deliver it to your room. You have to come down for breakfast, but they'll deliver it to your room if you don't feel like coming out. I've been throughout the place. It's pristine. The residents all seemed very happy and the staff and the residents seemed to have genuine affection for each other. Nobody's got the sour look, nobody's beating up the seniors. It seemed very nice to me. It's not cheap, but it includes breakfast. She has to pay her own electric and cable, but cable's a group rate, which is $50. She has a little terrace. She's got a two-bedroom apartment."

"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."

"I want your new waitress Renata she deserves recognition. In addition to always getting our order correct, she comes back several times to ask how the food was and if there is anything else that we need. When we are finished, she will ask if we want desert. She is so pleasant and always has a smile. I felt like I was at a restaurant on fifth avenue."

"My father moved into The Fairways at Naples. The staff was nice and took good care of them. The room was very nice. We like the atmosphere. It's new and clean. The dining area was very nice. My father likes it, so that's all that matters. The residents are busy with activities. They do everything. They do art and music, and they have parties for Mardi Gras. They had one for Valentine's Day. They're very active. The staff gets everybody involved. No matter what the level of care the people are in, they have them all involved, which is nice. For amenities, they have physical therapy and a barber shop there."

"I liked the layout of Colliers at Naples Assisted Living a lot, and I liked the events. It was kind of around the hurricane time, and I was happy that it was a safe place. It was all fine. Nothing had happened. It just seemed organized. The staff was very nice and helpful, with a lot of information. It had room to entertain. It is the one I chose partly because it was closer to me. I liked the apartment better than the other place. Unfortunately, the one they had available wasn't the one I wanted."

"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."

"I visited Healthpark Senior Living, a memory care facility in Fort Myers. It's all cottages, and one had been recently renovated. I got to see that one, and it was very nicely done. I met with one lady there, and she was very helpful. They have a communal kitchen, dining, and living area, but they were all recently renovated, so no one was currently using them. I also didn't get to see any activities. Because they're cottages, they're all on one floor and everybody can go out. It's nice that there's an outside covered area with grass and trees. The grounds were also very nice."

"I love the size of Beach House, the food setup, the staff was amazing, and the ambiance of the place was very nice. They have a salon, occupational therapy, movie theater, restaurant-style eating, and a nice courtyard in the middle. The layout was very nice. They have an art class and a little library. It's nice overall. I had lunch and the experience was different from any other place. You had options. There was a whole separate menu to choose from. It was very classy. The chef did a great job. The dining hall was great with tall ceilings. It was very roomy, very much like a restaurant. There was no assigned seating or anything like that. You can sit wherever. It did not feel like assisted living at all."

"I liked that when I arrived music was playing, it smelled good! Everyone was very pleasant. Sales manager was very compassionate about my dads needs. Thank you!!! "
