Communities in Cape Coral, FL

"I'm extremely satisfied. My mom is very happy with the food and the staff there. They are always doing some type of activity, whether its artwork, or building birdhouses, or they take the residents to a park or out to breakfast. They also have singing activities, and they have activities for every holiday. The rooms are very nice, and my mom has a room to herself as well as her own bathroom. They clean her room several times a week, it's very nice, and pleasant. They have beautiful outdoor areas where the resident can go outside and sit."

"Amavida Senior Living was the best of all the community I've visited. The apartments were ample size. I was looking at independent living. The courtyard, the grounds, the dining room, it's all much newer than the other places I looked at so I was more impressed. All of the different sections have their own courtyards so there were a lot of outdoor spaces. The apartments go right out into the courtyard, it's right out your backdoor and I like that feature. I saw a swimming pool, I saw an exercise class, I saw a Bingo being played, I saw Backgammon, and I saw several other things going on. It's very clean."

"Our favorite one was American House Fort Myers. We liked how they had a double room, but they had separate spaces. I was impressed with their facility. I like the setup of everything, and that was our top pick. The staff was just very friendly and helpful. The room was two rooms and one bigger room versus the other ones where they were sharing one living area with two beds in the same room. They had a beauty salon, a courtyard, and a nice outside area that we liked from my mom. I looked at the memory care."

"When I visited, they took me anywhere I wanted to go. We saw the rooms -- even those that were occupied -- little ladies let us come in to look at their rooms. We saw where they make cookies every afternoon. One of the things that I liked about the place was the floor was entirely tiled, there was no carpeting with stains, dirt, or hair. Everything was very clean, beautiful, and they were very friendly. The people that assisted me were wonderful, they worked in unison, they were very pleasant, and there was no pressure."

"My father has moved into Brookdale Fort Myers The Colony. I like that it has fewer residents, and the staff is caring and attentive. His room is basic, but it is perfect for somebody in memory care. The residents seem to be happy and they are engaged in activities. They've had numerous parties. We just were at a Christmas party on Monday. They had a tree-lighting party. They have sing-alongs, birthday parties, games, and movie nights. There are at least 2 shopping centers in the area. They have the dining room divided into those who are pretty good at handling a meal and regular utensils, and then they have the other side for those who need more attention. It is a very nice dining room. They have a hair salon, as well."

"I went to American House Coconut Point. It's a very nice place. It's a brand-new place. They showed me a room; they showed me everything. They got an exercise room. They have three or four places if you want coffee or something to drink. They have a big screen TV and reading room. The staff members were very accommodating and very nice."

"I was able to visit American House Bonita Springs, and I like that it was brand new and very close to where I live in Bonita Springs. I did tell my mother about the place, but she didn’t like it, because she thought it was too small. They do have different activities during the day for the residents. They have bingo and arts and crafts. "

"My dad has been here for a few weeks now, and he's happy there. I'm pretty happy with the place too. He has a nice apartment, and the residents are generally happy. Some days are different from the others, but the last time I was there, I heard people laughing. It was like a big party and dad loves it. He's very happy to have company, and he's getting everything he needs. The staff members are all very nice and cheerful, and they seem to enjoy their jobs. There's also longevity within the staff. Some of them have been there for a long time. He likes the food so far. They said he eats all of it and finishes his plate. The building was recently remodeled, like a year ago, so it looks good. He just has a closet door that could be in a little better shape, but that's not a big deal. It's all been remodeled, so it's nice, clean, and neat, and the bathroom looks good and modern. They do have activities every day. Some days it's bingo, then it's something else other days. Dad is very interested in that. It's perfect for the memory care residents. The decor is kind of weird, though; like in the hallway off to one side, there's a crib with a few baby dolls in it and they look realistic. It seems kind of weird to normal people but I get it. You have babies and that's something that everybody could relate to, and then over in the other hallway, they have a little tool area set out. So it's like a little bit of this and a little bit of that, but it's interesting and seems conducive to keeping them amused."

"Recently, my uncle's dementia progressed to a level whereby he required a facility transition from assisted living to memory care. As a Marine vet who had never been married my wife and I were quite concerned as to my uncle's ability and willingness to transition to a less independent environment. Fortunately, after a thorough review of various memory care facilities in Naples, we selected Bayshore Memory Care for his residency. His transition has been remarkably seamless as a result of the excellent and professional care provided by the nursing, administrative and support staff. Importantly, as a new state of the art facility, Bayshore provides a thoughtful, nurturing and calm environment that has been very conducive to my uncle's successful move to memory care. Many thanks to Alisha and her wonderful and professional staff at Bayshore Memory Care. "

"Naples Green Village was very, very pleasant. The staff was very accommodating. It was a good atmosphere and it looked like the residents were very happy as well. They have a lot of social events, a lot of get-togethers, and a lot of areas for gathering. We had lunch there, and it was also very good. The rooms looked very comfortable. They're a little on the small side, but I think most assisted living arrangements are a little smaller. They're very clean and had a nice view of the courtyards and beautiful gardens. It was newly remodeled and very clean."

"South Port Square was very friendly and I get the feeling that they care about the residents. I liked the outside grounds. They have done a fantastic job of landscaping and so forth. The rooms were of adequate size. I enjoyed the idea that they cared about you and that they went out of their way to make you happy. The food was excellent. We only had one meal, but the menus that they showed us had a good variety. They had everything that most other places have and they had a lot of activities going on, keeping the people busy."

"I had an in-person tour of Parkside Assisted Living and Memory Care. It wasn't like a resort. It was like a very nice assisted living facility with many amenities. They provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The staff was very thorough, accommodating, and welcoming. They were a little expensive and kind of small for me."

"Both of my parents were residents at this facility for approximately two years. We have nothing but good things to say. Lots of activities. Always bathed and dressed. Spiritual needs met. Lots of fond memories. Kept safe. Both died of old age eight months apart; received excellent end of life care via Hospice in their own room. Can't thank everyone there enough."

"My dad moved into Palmview. It's brand new, the facilities are very nice, and it's a great place. The people working there are fantastic, and they do a lot of things for the residents to keep them busy. He does bingo, bowling, singing, and a lot of things for Christmas. The location is fantastic, and the grounds are beautiful with sitting areas outside and porches on two floors. The room is great and has a nice living room, a little kitchenette with a microwave, bedroom, and a walk-in shower. My father said the food is good, and he's very satisfied."
