Independent Living Communities in Fort Myers, FL

"American House Coconut Point was more cosmopolitan with like an apartment building. They had all services, independent, assisted living, and memory care, all in one building and I think that was a big asset. They had a movie theater, an exercise place, and swimming pools. It had a lot of amenities. We only met the woman, Nancy, who showed us around the facilities and explained all of the differences and she was good. They had a pool table, a library, and a spa."

"I looked at American House, and went there once or twice. The place was brand new, but it was a little more costly. The rooms were bigger. The dining area was nice, it was like a big banquet hall. There have activities. "

"I visited and I saw Pam and spent a couple of hours there seeing what they had and what they didn't have, and how they handle the people and the activities that they have. They were tied up yesterday because they were getting vaccination shots and they were all excited and happy about that. The staff members were very good and professional. I liked that you could visit every day, but for now I only get to visit once a week because they have to bring the people outside, and you can't go inside the facility. That is very cumbersome. The facility looked good and decent. The rooms looked decent and proficient. It seems like it is a very congenial group, and the staff is very professional, and so I think it is going to be an excellent choice for my wife."

"We toured here, and everything was beautiful. There were quite a few activities. It is different than the assisted. They have pool tables, a swimming pool, a fitness room, and a dining area. The apartment was beautiful, very clean, brand new, a nice size, very updated, and modern. The dining area was very clean, nice, and modern. The staff was very helpful and gave a great tour."

"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."

"I toured The Collier at Naples. One thing I did like about this place is most of them just have what they call a suite. So, you open the door and there's a bed, a chair, a desk, and the bathroom, and that's claustrophobic for me and I know it will be for her. I met one person who was very nice and very helpful, and took me on the tour, explained everything to me, and gave me some information to bring home. The structure of the building seemed fine. I like Collier because they are like a small apartment. My mother would have not only a living room, but she would also have a kitchen. They don't have a stove in there for memory care, but she has a refrigerator and cabinets. When I stepped into this facility, I felt comfortable."

"Barkley Place is in a excellent location, right in my neighborhood. It’s a three-story facility which is kept very tidy. Security and safety is excellent. They have extremely large rooms, and they’re very lovely. The food is terrific and the best I’ve tasted so far. They’ve got tons of activities both internally and externally. "

"Sandpiper Run was very clean, fresh smelling, well kept, and very well organized. When I arrived, they were having sort of a tenant meeting in the lobby, which is a good sign because people get to voice their ideas and opinions. There was an outside patio, a lanai, a swimming pool, a game room, a library, and computer access. The apartments have grab bars in the bathroom, smoke alarms, emergency alarms, and carbon monoxide detectors. They were nicely decorated and themed. I do not have any criticisms or problems with it."

"Hidden Oaks is a great Assisted living facility, the staff is very friendly and kind. They take great care of their residents and the activities are great! "

"I’ve bought a home here in Jamaica Bay and I'm very well satisfied with it. These are homes not a building. I have two bedrooms but there so many here with three and four bedrooms. It’s very good and it works fine for me. I like it very well I’ve had no problem. I would recommend it for certain people. I’m very independent but I can’t drive a car so I’ve got to go off cart and I can go to Wal-Mart to do my shopping and things. It’s close so it’s very convenient for me. There are restaurants around here like McDonald’s and Burger King; and the hospital is not over five miles. They just have about everything here. They’ve got all kinds of clubs here for boating, golf, chess, poker; you name it they’ve got a club for it. "

"St. John XXIII Villas was very clean, and very well organized. They have a lot of amenities. They have a community room, a swimming pool, a game room, a dining room, a library, and a computer room. The people in the office and the staff were very courteous, very professional, very congenial, very helpful, and very thorough. There weren't any bad attributes. I was very impressed with how the place was kept and how organized it was. The apartments were very well suited for seniors. There were grab bars in the bathroom, alarms around the apartment, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors. It was also just walking distance of a Catholic Church. Parking was easy and accessible. You didn't have to walk far to get to the main entrance."

"I liked Fort Myers Independent Living. I thought it was pleasant and clean. The staff seemed to be nice and helpful. The apartments were adequate and would have met my needs. Their dining area also looked nice."

"Cypress Cove was a gorgeous place. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it except that it's expensive, so I was not able to afford it. It's beautiful. The apartments were very, very nice. They have more square footage than most places. They have everything you could want. It's just unbelievable. The food was excellent. They had several dining rooms. It's quite large, and it's very good. Plus, it transitions from independent to assisted and then to nursing care. The staff was very bubbly, very happy, and very nice. The people that live there are also very nice. You stop and you talk to somebody, and they have only good things to say. The apartment that I wanted was a one-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath. It had a lovely kitchen and a nice area outside. It was on the first floor because I have a dog and it was absolutely perfect for me. Upkeep and maintenance were excellent."

"Love it. I really do. Left a beautiful house to come here. I like the workers and the people. Lots of things to do and keep busy. "
