The Best Memory Care Communities in Lee County, FL

"Canterfield of Fort Myers has more than one outside courtyard. The memory care is all locked down so you don't have to worry about them wandering out. They seemed to have the same amount of staff members as the other facility we saw so they could stay on task."

"My wife was at this facility and lived very happy for her remaining years. The young ladies who cared for her did gods work. Everyone cared for one another. We always knew where my wife was and there was no body better at dealing with folks with Alz than Arden Courts."

"We have chosen Brookdale Santa Barbara for my brother. His furniture is there and it's all ready for him to go. I'm very pleased with what I have seen over there so far. The community is very lovely and very light. The rooms are really good. It's fairly new, so it's a very nice place. The people there are extremely friendly and very helpful. The person who gave me the tour was very helpful and very patient. He answered all the questions I had, explaining everything. They have a lot of activities going on. They have games, they have a nice outdoor area, all closed in, of course, and they have karaoke. Two days a week, they have a woman come in and she leads everybody in singing. It's nice."

"We like that The Gallery at Cape Coral is clean, new and roomy, and the people are very, very nice. The food is very good. We just like everything about it. We're staying in a one-bedroom unit. They offer exercise and continental breakfast. Their dining room is open from 11 to 7, and they have a full bar and a gym. We haven't been here long enough to get involved in activities, but from all we've seen, everything is very good."

"We found American House for my father. We're very happy with them. It's the best out of all the choices we had. My mother is very happy with them. They actually gave us what was meant for two residents using the same bathroom kind of a thing. They let him have both of those rooms for himself. One of the bedrooms is set up for his bed and dresser, and the other is set up like a small bedroom/living room thing. He got a TV set up and couch there. It's really nice. The staff is very caring. They have quite an establishment there for caregiving. We're very pleased. It is quite an undertaking for any kind of facility to take care of all their needs, but they're very good with my father. He has been there now for a little while and he is settling in. I know it takes time, but it is working out, and it is becoming more of a home for him. It's just tough to watch him because he is losing his memory. It's a good, caring place for him. Right now, there was somebody that actually got COVID on the second floor, so the place was kinda in a lockdown, which is understandable. We can make an appointment to see my father. We have been doing that. He has been OK. Even prior to that, because the virus is still around and the numbers are high, they don't have a lot of activities. Normally they would have people come in and they would have a little band and activities. They're being very protective for their residents, so there's not a lot of going on right now. American House is a very large building. They've got a couple of courtyard, a pool table, and a puzzle room, and a library. They got the residents scheduled for physical therapy. It's really nice. We're happy. I'm very pleased with them. Most of the staff are very good. Every once in a while you get somebody that doesn't seem like they're all into what they're doing, but for the most part I'm very pleased with their staff. It's a lot of money no matter where you go, but they're right in there where everyone else is. I don't like how much it is, but for what they're getting, it's a good price."

"The rooms are very spacious and able to be decorated to your liking with large bathrooms that are well equipped with grab bars and safety features. The staff had been incredibly warm, kind and knowledgeable with the transition of moving my Dad into memory care. The caregivers are kind, sweet, loving and well trained. I take complete solace and comfort in knowing my father is safe, well cared for, well fed, properly hydrated and seemingly loved by everyone at Inspired Living so far. Even the food is great! I highly recommend this facility for your loved one."

"My mother moved into American House Bonita Springs. Most of the people there are helpful, and I think the facility is very nice. Her room is excellent. I'd move into her room any day. The meals seem to be good, and it's a good variety. They have a salon, they're pet friendly for small pets, and they have field trips available. The facility is clean, kept clean, the exterior and the walkways are very nice, and it's a very beautiful place to be."

"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."

"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."

"We will move into Seascape at Naples. It's two bedrooms, two baths, plenty of room, very much like where we're coming from, and we have an end unit. My husband's a veteran, so we got quite a discount. It just has everything we need and want. It's more like a home. Everything is supplied. You also have breakfast and lunch, breakfast and dinner, or dinner and lunch. They take you to the doctor if you need it, and they have trips. They have all kinds of things going on every day that would be good for my husband. Everything that interests us. We've looked around a lot, and this is our favorite. Grace and Carrie were both wonderful."

"My father moved into The Fairways at Naples. The staff was nice and took good care of them. The room was very nice. We like the atmosphere. It's new and clean. The dining area was very nice. My father likes it, so that's all that matters. The residents are busy with activities. They do everything. They do art and music, and they have parties for Mardi Gras. They had one for Valentine's Day. They're very active. The staff gets everybody involved. No matter what the level of care the people are in, they have them all involved, which is nice. For amenities, they have physical therapy and a barber shop there."

"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."

"It is new. The facilities are bright. The assistants in the medical care know my father-in-law. The rooms are bright and open. Everything is close by. We feel that it would be good for my father-in-law to live here to be close with the proper assistance for nursing and medical care as needed. Beach House Naples has been good so far. My father-in-law likes the place. He has been cared for and the staff members are good. They have given him his medicines on a timely basis. He actually got referred to the hospital on a timely manner, too. The medical staff found an ailment in him, and they informed us immediately."

"I will be moving into The Pineapple House at Sapphire Lakes. It's very clean, and I was greeted and treated very well. I liked the apartment very much. The staff was wonderful. I didn't taste the food, but the dining area seemed nice. I observed the pool, the exercise, the therapy, and the beauty shop."
