Arden Courts of Fort Myers

This place is not at all what they say they provide to their residents. During the year my dear mother was there, she suffered broken bones, pneumonia, an infection on her legs, for issues, constant pain from broken bones and bruised ribs, sinus infections, and several major falls causing extreme black and blue, red and purple marks all over her face, neck, arms, legs, an eye contussion and more. Her last major fall that caused the most bruises she wasn't even taken to the hospital to get an mri,cat scan or her eye checked for a detached retina. Only one Dr is on staff who is a quack, was negligent by not providing a pain management program after my mom had broken her hip and shoulder, he didnt take chest xrays for pneumonia, delayed prescribing medicine for an infected cut on her hand, and worst of all, not prescribing my mom a small dosage of anti anxiety or antidepressant due to her high level of distress and constant pain, never addressed by the Dr with more than Tylenol. Really? That's not even an anti-inflammatory. After Her last fall she went to the emergency room due to a uti,emer Rm Dr said she was dehydrated, malnourished, had lost over 20 pounds in a short time and was very weak. There is more I could add, but I don't have the energy and don't want to relive the agony of watching my mom suffer from these people.s ignorance. To those reviews who commented about the exterior of facility, while that is important, isn't the quality of care, managing your loved one.s pain with proper meds, a responsive dr, supervision of patients walking around by themselves to minimize falls, and a long list of other types of things related to the level of care and staff ratio, more important??

This place is exactly the nightmare we read about. Who cares if the building setup is state of the art for a wandering resident with dementia? The patient is awful and bordering on neglect. Since August 2014 admission, my mother has had broken shoulder, fallen with injuries 3 times and many other AVOIDABLE injuries and illness with minimal intervention from so called nurse or physician. Someone needs to check their staff credentials as well as resident:staff ratios. Mom went to the emergency room last week; dehydrated, lost +22lbs. and receiving PRN for pain. Stay far, far away.

This would be the last place I would bring a loved one. They are left wondering around, no one is around to help them. I was not happy with the care at this facility

My brother was in Arden Courts at the age of 55 with Alzheimer's, and he passed away in that family, so I am very familiar with it. The thing that I like about it is the outside area where my mom could walk or get some good walking in a safe area. The other thing I like about it is they have a similar facility in Illinois where my son lives, so if I had to transfer her it would be to a very same kind of environment and the transition would not be difficult for her. I think the staff was excellent. I had no problems with them at all. The bedroom had a toilet in it and a sink. The shower area was a common area where they help the residents. There were four separate areas, and each one had their own dining area. They had common areas and a recreational area where they could sit and do exercises or have church and things like that. But the thing I liked about it is the outside area where they could walk at will. I was very satisfied with their treatment of my brother, and that is why I would put my mother there.

My wife has dementia and has been in nursing and assisted living facilities in Fl and New Jersey. for the past three years. None has been as well organized as Arden Courts. Her unit is like her family. Arden Courts has many and varied activities for the entire community. It provides excellent medical, nursing and therapeutic services. It does not have cya policies that required my wife to be taken by ambulance to the hospital for magnetic resonance images and cat-scans every time she fell. My wife was confined to a wheel chair from the side-effects of the medications she was given at her previous assisted living facility. She is now walking again. She lost her swallowing reflex. Arden Courts provides her with pureed food. I cannot imagine a better assisted and caring living facility in the USA than Arden Courts.

I have been hear many times for seminars and everyone seems very well taken care of. They have a wonderful outdoors area and residence can wonder in and out all they like. each area (there are four residences) are each a complete unit. Each area is decorated particularly for that unit and all items match, making it easier for a person to find their way around.
