I have friends at Shell Point Retirement Community. It's big and they have a golf course. They're on the water, so there's canoeing and kayaking and stuff like that going on. There are multiple buildings and levels of care. It's also a CCRC. Part of the problem there for me personally is that there's one main dining room, and you have to take a jitney to the dining room. The independent units are large, probably some of them over 2000 square feet. It also was a luxury. There are other smaller apartments around, but my friends have usually three-bedroom three-bath units. It's part of our hospital system campus, so it physically adjoins a hospital. That's important to a lot of people I'm sure. It's a very old established community and it has a variety of living situations from smaller apartments to extremely large luxury units. It has villas available. They have separate grill rooms in addition to the central dining hall in one of the buildings. They're building their own hospital and they have a separate memory care unit that I have visited.

Shell Point Retirement Community is excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and I highly recommend it to anybody that is thinking about a retirement community. I think it's one of the best you can find anywhere. They have all different room styles and sizes. There are very small studios, and they go all the way up to three bedrooms, and two baths (depends on what you want and what you want to pay for). We cook on our own, but they have about five restaurants on the premises, and they're all very good. If there's any kind of amenity that you would want in a retirement community, you will find it here. They have everything imaginable from tennis to pickleball, to golf to Bocce, to Croquet to game rooms, to railroad train models, or any kind of game or activity or program that you might have an interest in. They also have a wonderful woodshop, a pottery place, an art studio, and places where you can practice your instruments. They have every conceivable amenity that anybody could ever want. I don't think I've ever found anything that was not provided.

When Mom moved to Memory Care Shellpoint said they would offer my father 3 visits per week as he was in assisted living. Visitation would start and stop, start and stop. You had to be constantly vigilant to ensure follow through. Because Dad didn't see her, Dad was crying.. doesn't Mom love me anymore? Did your mother die? At this point with his memory not sure if he is offered 3 times a week visitation. Mom now in Hospice and since I live in NY, Shellpoint said they'd have a worker call me every Monday. This past month 2 calls, and I had to call and remind Shellpoint for BOTH calls! Left message with this worker last week that it's hurtful for both my Mom and I not to have contact as she's dying. Got a call from Mom the next day...but did I get a call yesterday the next week on a on the Monday? No! The month prior phone calls not consistent. Unbelievable! Also got a message put my Mom on medication when after my sister and I had discussed and stated we didn't want medication. Got a disgusted tone call " Caroline, I called you twice on Friday but your phone wasn't on. ". Shellpoint you have my cell, home, email, message...all this for my sister. You should have called ASAP when you found you had violated a family directive, not twice at the end of a week! Called supervisor and never received a return call. I don't know if Shellpoint can't get enough workers.. I know our Country is having a hard time getting people to work..If these people just don't care?....The end result is what I'm sharing. The facilities for independent living when you can advocate for yourself are great..concerts, pool, orchard house, boat...all sorts of activities. But when you can't defend yourself, I can not recommend this institution unless you live right near Shellpoint and advocate for your loved one.

Shell Point Retirement Community is a 700 acres community that is surrounded by water. It's five stars and the amenities are top of the line. Everything is self-contained here. You wouldn't even have to leave the community. We have several restaurants, tennis courts, Pickleball courts, and several swimming pools. We have a 24-hour medical team and the staff is phenomenal. You can pull an emergency cord or you can call a certain number. Someone is always there to answer your call to put you in touch with the medical team. We have weekly housekeeping here and I like that very much. We have an art center here that they built last year. The residents' art is displayed in it. There's also a gift store, a photo place where people who are into photography can go and develop their own pictures, a quilting section where you can go make quilts, pottery, a music studio, an arts and crafts room, and then in that same building, there is a theater that performers come in and can give live performances. Buses will take people to a theater that's 10 miles from here to see famous people who come to town or go to Naples to see ballet and different things like that. So, the cultural interest here is high. It's expensive to live here but we get so much value. It's a wonderful place and for people who want to come to Florida on the West Coast, I highly recommend it. I find peace living here, which is a much more meaningful thing to me, at my age.

We have been on the wait list for 5 years. Now they want you to take one of the tiny garden apartments to be a resident so you can get one of the other units. Someone that does that jumps in front of people that have waited for years. They do not show Christian values to people. All about the money.

I toured Shell Point Retirement Community. It's a beautiful, sprawling campus. It has various amenities that I think a person who is 55 and over would enjoy and feel at home. The staff was fantastic, very open to answering any questions, gave us information, and helped us go through the process. The rooms were all renovated, home-like, and spacious. They have kitchens, bathrooms, and they have an open window, almost like a terrace window. I did try the food, and it was very good. The dining area is very open, so it's conducive for people to sit there. It's a restaurant like, it has a salad bar, the staff wait on you, so it's similar to a restaurant atmosphere. They have a salon, fitness room, they have extensive medical care on the campus, they have a pool, and they have various club areas. They have a maintenance area for golf carts, and they also have a garden. So if you garden, they have a common garden that you can use. The upkeep and maintenance seem to be fantastic, I didn't see any issues. They've been renovating it.
