Memory Care Communities in Cape Coral, FL

"The tour I had of Amavida Senior Living was good and informative. The tour guide was very pleasant and very nice. I'm looking seriously for more information on that place. It's new and very well thought out. The apartments were very nice. It's just a very pleasant community. There was lots of green. I was very pleased with it, plus it's also a very reasonable price. There's a one-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath. They're not huge square footage wise, but well organized with lots of closets. It's good, and the kitchen was good. It was a nice, complete kitchen. The dining areas were very nice. They have two restaurants, one for casual and one more formal, with tablecloths for evening dining, and the menu looked wonderful. The staff was very pleasant and accommodating. They had a very nice fitness room with a lot of equipment, not just a treadmill and a bicycle. It's quite well furnished. There were two pools, a lap pool, and a regular pool. There was an art studio. It had everything I wanted. Upkeep and maintenance were excellent. It's clean and sparkling. Everything was great."

"American House Fort Myers was the one we liked the best. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. I think it had a full kitchen. Some of them had a low countertop space that you could eat at and others had a small two seater table. The dining area was beautiful, well done, well furnished, and very pretty (as was the pool area and outdoor area). They had a craft room. It was open, bright, and airy. The people were so friendly. It just had a different feeling than some of them."

"It was nice. I decided to go there because it's a newer building and the ceiling is high. I liked lots of natural light and I liked the atmosphere of the place. They have transportation and they go to church. They encourage you to move, dance, and they have activities."

"This facility feels like home as soon as you walk in. The staff is very caring and attentive. "

"Canterfield of Fort Myers was very attractive. We had a positive first impression. It's a new modern facility. The staff who accommodated us was excellent. She gave a very good tour and was very thoughtful. We liked her a lot, and we liked the place pretty much, too. It was a close call there, but we just couldn't make it happen. We did not try the food there, but that would be one bit of advice that I would tell everyone, to be sure you eat three meals any place where you go because that's over half of what you're paying for the place. It's a very difficult situation because you're not likely to be able to make any changes to that situation, no one ever gave us that advice."

"I visited American House in Estero, and I think that place looked absolutely amazing. I think for someone who is not at a high level of care needs at this point, that would be a great place to go, somebody who needs a little assistance and is really just looking for more of an assisted living community. My mom really needs a lot of more care than that. When I looked at it, I just thought my mom will never even begin to use a tenth of what's in the facility. Four years ago it would have been fabulous for her. So, I think it would really depend on the level of where your loved one is at. The facility has everything you could possibly want, but I didn't know if they could handle the sort of medical support or the activities of daily living support that my mom would personally need; I wasn't sure about that. I really liked the sales guy there, he was really nice, his name is Ron. He did everything he could possibly do, and he spent time with me. I think that if somebody's looking to move into assisted living, and they're at the stage where they would appreciate different activities, I think this place would be worth checking out. If somebody's at the point where they're needing a super high level of care, I would look for a different type of facility ... if that's where you're at. They have everything you could possibly want if you're at the right stage of life for it. It's like living in a country club, it's right near big shopping centers too, you could literally walk out the door and go shopping if you wanted to."

"The staff at Inspired Living Bonita Springs is very personable and seem to be very caring. The manager right now has only been there a short time , but he's trying to make the place as good as it could be. He is really getting things in order, and I think they treat the residents very nicely. They have smiles on their faces and I can talk to the manager if I need something, and he'll do his best to get it. My husband's happy there, so that makes it really, really important. It's very clean and nice-looking. They have a beautiful outside area with a gazebo and a little pond in front. So, they see the water, the sun, the trees, and other houses across from it. They have a lot of nice plants and walking areas, too. I can wheel my husband all around. They have a lot of activities for them in the mornings and afternoons. They have things like trivia and lemonade and cookies or some sort of a snack. On Sunday mornings they have virtual church services. So, they try to keep them out and about so that they don't just stay in their rooms. I have eaten there on Valentine's Day, and I've seen a couple of their suppers. They offer three different plates. They give them a little soup or salad at the beginning, next is their entree, and then they give them a little dessert. They present it very nicely. They can choose what they like and if they don't like either one, they'll make them a hamburger or something like that, so that they eat something. The majority of the food looks very good and he's not said anything bad about the food."

"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."

"I visited this facility to see about placement for my mother. There are many renovations and changes happening at this facility. I met the new administrator who has been with the company for a long time. She is very knowledgeable about the area, and the facility. As I toured the facility I spoke to a few of the residents and they seemed very happy and well cared for. The staff was friendly and answered all of my questions without hesitation. The rooms I was shown were clean with fresh paint and new tile on the floors. Large rooms for the price too! I have looked at a few places in the area and will most likely head back to Vick Street Manor to place my mother. Their prices are within our budget and I feel like she will be well cared for. "

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The Windsor of Cape Coral seemed nice and well-run. The staff was very nice. The dining area looked very nice, clean and neat. The sing-along at the memory unit was very nice."
