I moved into the Gladwell Fort Myers three months ago, and I'm happy with it. The room is neat and clean, and the staff is good. The food is fine, too. It's a good community. We have some activities, but not total activities. They don't do that because they're trying to keep everybody safe. They're restricted by a lot of things.

So far, our experience having my dad at Gladwell Fort Myers is very good. They have the same amenities like all the other assisted living. The only difference between any of them is the people who work there. Every single one of them offered the same exact thing but it's the people at Gladwell that made a difference. You can see pretty quickly whether or not they're interested or they go above or under the mile, or if they're looking at their people also as a family or not. You get by watching them and how they act towards the residents, it wasn't just a show for you so you would pay money to get in. They have all kinds of activities. They bring all the people out and they're really excited to do it. They really believe that they're making a difference in all these people's lives.

The Crossings At Hancock Creek is a pretty new community and smaller than the other ones I have toured. They've got a mind care area there as well. They also have a lot of activities and things even though they don't have as large a place as others. It seems very nice and well-run. I believe they have a nursing staff in there for 24-hours a day. My impression of it is very nice and that they provide good care, especially if someone need assistance. They're also more expensive in terms of cost.

The Crossings at Hancock Creek is impressive, and it's the best place I've gone to visit in terms of facilities. It's only two or three years old, and the people there are really nice and helpful. Any kind of problem that we've had they take care of it right away. We've been very happy. They have activities and stuff, although my dad's not really interested, but they do have a whole lot of stuff to choose from. We've had our family down to visit, and we went in there for Thanksgiving dinner. They gave us a private dining room and it was top notch. Even on regular days, they have really good food. There's a main course and if you don't like that they have maybe five or six alternate things that you can choose from. My dad loves it. It's very nice and it's just a couple years old, so everything is pretty brand-new looking.

The Crossings at Hancock Creek is a very clean facility. All the rooms were very clean. The staff was friendly. My mom had a 1-bedroom with an efficiency kitchen and it was perfect for what we needed for respite care. They had daily exercise, chair exercises, ice cream socials, and they took people out shopping. One of the great benefits is it's a two week minimum stay as opposed to a 30-day minimum.

We decided to go with The Crossings at Hancock Creek. It was very upbeat and absolutely spotless. My mother liked the programs and everything they had, but she was not ready to move. The only complaint she had was that the bedroom is small, but I keep telling her that she doesn’t live in her bedroom, just sleeps in it. The Crossings at Hancock Creek had everything the other places had for less money, and it was closer to my house.

The Crossings at Hancock Creek is brand new. I really liked it; it would have been a second choice. The staff and the community impressed me. We wanted a nice, private room that my brother would be comfortable in. They had it, and it was very nice. I appreciated the staff, who was very good. The activities were pleasing to me.

There was more than enough staff, but there were not a lot of people at The Crossings because it's a new facility. The staff was good, well-educated, and answered all our questions. Everything was fine. They showed us a studio-type apartment, a little theater, and amenities. They're more of an assisted living facility. It's a little bit pricey, but they're a pretty well-situated place.

The rooms at Crossings at Hancock Creek were lovely. You could decorate them, and put in any furniture you wanted. I was impressed with the lady that showed us through, she would stop and talk, and she knew everybody's name. The great room had a nice TV, sofas, chairs, and tables. It was just very pleasant, bright, and decorated nicely. I was impressed with it. The facility was beautiful, very convenient, and easy to get in and out . The staff was just around, pleasant, smiling,and to me that's a personal touch.

My father has moved into The Crossings at Hancock Creek. They have wonderful size studios. The reason that we chose this particular community is multifaceted. One is because it is very near to my home, and two, it is very clean and very modern. It is a brand new place. They have memory care unit, which is what we needed. The price is at the higher end of the scale, but you have to expect that when you're dealing with memory care issue. It is more or less an all-inclusive thing.
Now that my father has been there for a month or two, it has worked very well because I know he is safe. He is highly functioning considering everything, so we have his small studio set up as a little hobby room for him. He spends a lot of time in there, but they do have activities. They take them out of their unit, they go listen to music, they have a small movie theater in the building, and they have exercise and crafts. They see to his medications. There are three meals a day; it looks like they're feeding everybody very well. They do all the laundry, they do all the housekeeping, and they change the beds. They see to it that he gets showered and shaved. They pretty much do everything. The food looks great. They get desserts every day and they get lunches like a meal that I would took for dinner. The entire place is very clean. Based on the places that we looked at, I would say that The Crossings at Hancock Creek is an excellent value.

The Crossings at Hancock Creek was very new, so it didn't have much going on. The rooms are very nice and spacious. The person who gave me the tour was fine.
