The coastal city of Naples is a top retirement destination with a large senior community that makes up over half of its 19,000 residents. Despite the large number of residents aged 65 and over, the number of Alzheimer’s deaths has dropped considerably in recent years, even as the number of deaths from all causes has increased. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that while the death rate increased by almost 25% between 2016 and 2020, Alzheimer’s-related deaths dropped by 41%. At the beginning of this reporting period, over 8% of deaths were linked to Alzheimer’s, and by the end, less than 4% of deaths were caused by this disease.
Residential dementia care is an essential part of comprehensive Alzheimer’s treatment and can improve the life of someone living with this disease. Memory care facilities are staffed with caregivers who’ve completed dementia-specific training, and they provide housing, meals and specialized social and recreational programming.
This guide highlights some benefits and drawbacks of obtaining memory care in Naples and shows how local care costs compare to rates in nearby cities.

This facility is understafffed in the memeory care unit. My husband’s mother was not attended to in an appropriate manner. Upon numerous visits we found her bed soaked with urine or squares of soak pads covering an accident she had on the bed and the sheets hadn’t been changed.Her personal care was lacking- hair disshelved, mismatched outfits and urine soaked clothes in the laundty basket. After a meeting with staff we continued to find her clothes rolled up, not hung, and thrown on the top shelf of her closet. The numerous hangars for her clothes were found lying on the floors of both her closets so there was no excuse for not hanging them and keeping her closet neat and her clothers accessible. Her iphone cell was missing and it was noted an android had been exchanged for it. Her bridge was lost and none of the caregivers even mentioned it to the family. The family noted it was missing upon a visit to her. Visits were limited to a 48 hour advance notice. This started in September and it was difficult to schedule visits following these restrictions. Visits were not allowed on Sundays the family was informed via email due to cleaning in the facility.

I relocated my mother to Arden Courts after an awful experience at another care facility. The transition took place during COVID and between my previous experience and COVID restrictions, I braced for another unpleasant experience. However, that wasn’t the case at all. The staff at Arden Courts, in addition to providing exemplary care, rose to the challenge of COVID. Visitations, albeit on the front porch, were scheduled and coordinated most efficiently, and with visitors not allowed, staff members assumed the entertainment role to keep residents occupied. In a day and age when customer service has taken a back seat, the staff at Arden Courts has gone above and beyond to care for its residents. Peace of mind is knowing that staff genuinely cares. It’s great to see my mother smile again.

We chose Naples Green Village for my husband because it’s smaller. I liked the people, and they are dog friendly and music friendly. Those are things that my husband likes, and I’ve been able to take our dog to visit him. It’s like a family, and so far I’m very pleased. When I visit him, I walked in there feeling good for him and for myself too.
The staff is very friendly. You can tell that they interact really well with the patients. They are in touch with me. If something happens, they call me about what needs to be done. It’s good to have that communication with them. I’ve seen how they interact with the patients there in a very friendly and helpful way. I haven’t tasted the food, but he keep saying he likes it. It was one of the difficulties he had at home, but he ate the whole thing.
Every time I’ve gone, it looks very clean. They have very lovely courtyards. You can go out and sit out in the sun. There are a lot of different areas for them to sit back and listen to music, watch TV, or do activities. They have activities in the morning. It’s more of like a Montessori method. If they don’t feel like going, they don’t have to go; however, the activities are offered to them. They have a weekly veterans meeting. They have people come into play music, and there’s a happy hour once a week. There’s a central area, which is the dining area where they all meet. They sit around and actually talk. My husband doesn’t actually talk (just gibberish), but they listen.
The value for money is the best of all the ones we went to see.

I liked The Collier at Naples. I liked the rooms. The rooms were great. My daughter would have had an upgrade into a small suite that was nice. They were friendly. The unit is on the fourth floor though, so if our daughter wanted to go somewhere, she’d have to get on the elevator and go down. She would be on the fourth floor all the time. She wouldn’t have a lot of opportunities to go places unless someone took her. Knowing how minimized staffing is, we knew that she wouldn’t be going anywhere.
We visited a library, they had arts and crafts that were going on while we were there, and they had a nice movie television kind of room with real comfy theater chairs. It was very nice. It’s a high rise, so it’s different than most of what I’ve seen and experienced. Their memory care is on the fourth floor, and I found that a little difficult to understand or whether that would work for her. You have to accept high-rise living and that’s what it is. Every time you want to leave that floor, you have to get on and off an elevator with assistance. She would not be getting on the elevator and going somewhere herself.
It was extremely clean. The outdoor itself was fine except they allow cigarette smoking there and I did not like that. There’s not enough help in these places. If you want to go outside, you could wait all day for someone to take you out, and then when you get out, you could wait all day to get back in. You’re dealing with a high-rise and I’m not sure that high-rise is the best thing in a nursing home. The fourth floor had wonderful suites. We could have had a suite for what we paid for a small bedroom, but it had a balcony on it. The balcony had been locked off, and I didn’t like that at all.

I was very happy that my wife got out of Bayshore Memory Care. They did not treat her badly, they just treated her as though she was just a potted plant, sitting there to be taken care of. I had to get her out of there because she was tested positive for COVID, but she had no symptoms, so they couldn’t send her to the hospital or hospice. They wanted outside nurses and they were the only ones that they approved to come in and sit with her 24 hours a day for 14 days until her quarantine was over. There was no way I could get around even though I tried.
I had to hire nurses from their nursing home organization that they had approved to come in and be with her for 14 days. The price was $36 an hour and $11,000 for 14 days. When I got her down on the 19th to the new place, they took a COVID test immediately and she tested negative, which I’ve been told was impossible if she had tested positive two weeks before. Either she never had it or she certainly didn’t have it when she went to the new nursing home. That’s the reason that I snatched her up out of there and took her down to the new place.
The physical facility seemed to be just fine. It’s a 2-story building and everything in it seemed to work, clean, operable, nice, modern and they had a huge generator out back, so if they lose power, they just keep right on going and all the elevators are still working. The lobby looked just like a front lobby, clean and functioning, too. Even though I checked her in around March of 2020, I’ve never been to her room or up on the floor since. I can’ tell a whole lot about what goes on inside of the facility.
The visit I had with her were either at the tent outside or sitting on the bench at the front door or at an interior fire escape on the 1st floor on the North side of the building. All of those visits were 30 minutes only and then she had to return to her room. I never got any information from them as to how my wife was doing. Some of the staff were actually concerned about my wife, others seemed to be just going through the motions. It was also very expensive for what we were getting. I was paying a lot of money for it. Considering that she’s 72 with Alzheimer’s, they were incapable of isolating her and I had to hire outside staff to be there. That was just unbelievable.

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.

My mother is a resident of the Villa at Terracina Grand. It’s a wonderful facility, and it’s fairly new. She moved in when it was brand new. The people seem very caring. I’m really pleased with where she is. The staff is phenomenal. They’re very good, and they seem disciplined. A lot of the people with memory disorders are completely incontinent, and they have a routine. Every so often, they’ll come and get my mother, they’ll get her refreshed and bring her back, and it’s good. It would really bother me if they just let her sit and be uncomfortable, but they seem to have a time or a schedule where they keep everybody changed over, clean and healthy. They used to have entertainment, but with COVID, they don’t have any. They don’t let anybody in except the essential people, but they loosened up a little bit on visiting. I haven’t seen my mother since February when they closed down the memory care unit to visitors, but now they are opening up to visitors, which is nice.

Barrington Terrace of Naples is a mixed community, but they’re not as separated as they are in some communities. My daughter is a memory care person, but the room that we were interested in, put her in kind of a mainstream situation. It was excellent. We would have moved her there, but she didn’t want to go. They had fantastic staff. They had a large staff, and they’re extremely friendly. Everyone was interested in her and they seemed to have what we thought was a cut above a lot of nursing home staff. I only saw two rooms there. One was an upgrade and the other was a standard. It was perfectly acceptable. The standard one had a private bath and a view, and it was adequate. The cleanliness was excellent. It’s in a high traffic area and you were going to get noise and exhaust from the highway. It wasn’t a huge problem, but it was there. It’s an older building. They were wonderful to her, but she didn’t want to go.

Seascape at Naples was very pleasing as far as decorating goes. It looked like an upscale hotel. The lobby was clean, well-decorated, and comfortable looking. The staff seemed very knowledgeable, answered all of the questions I had, and was pleasant. I received a ton of knowledge. They were very generous with all kinds of things regarding memory care and Alzheimer’s itself. They gave me lots of other information as far as online resources and that sort of thing.
I checked out the dining area, but I did not taste the food. The dining area was very nice. There were several options. There was the dining area where the memory care people would normally eat together. There’s an assisted living dining room that we could go to if I was with my husband. There are also a couple of private areas if we wanted to have friends or family visit and come and eat.
I got a schedule of their activities, and they were doing an exercise class when I was taking my tour. They have a swimming pool and lovely grounds for walking. Like most memory care places, they have several activities that are tailored to the level of the residents. They have musicians visiting and they have art people visiting.
