Naples is a sunny city in southwest Florida with a substantial population of elders. Of the city’s 22,088 residents, over 52% are seniors aged 65 and older. A notable medical care option in the area is the NCH Healthcare System, through which seniors have access to the Brookdale Center for Healthy Aging & Rehabilitation and numerous specialty services.
Per the Genworth 2020 Cost of Care Survey, nursing homes in Naples have relatively high rates. An average semiprivate room costs $10,391 per month, compared to the national average of $7,756. Seniors with advanced needs can reside in nursing homes to receive around-the-clock attention from caregivers, including skilled nurses. Because the care offerings are so comprehensive in nursing homes, they tend to cost more than other senior living setups. Older adults who don’t need such high levels of supervision and medical attention may want to look into the more affordable options of home health care or assisted living instead.
This guide provides a comparative overview of the cost of nursing homes, assisted living and other arrangements. It also lists some Naples-area resources that uplift the city’s elderly population.

My father was at ManorCare Health Services at Lely Palms in Naples for rehab. Our overall experience with them was crappy — it was not good. I would say that my biggest complaint was that it was very difficult to get a hold of one particular social worker for, I think, everyone that was there. I would also not get return calls or e-mails. It was extremely difficult to communicate with them, and they’re not responsive. My father was bedridden, so it was pretty hard for him to say anything about the services, but he left there with pressure sores and a really bad rash from not being changed enough. I just don’t think it’s a very clean place. When we visited, his wheelchair was kind of dirty.
They have gotten him back to the hospital a couple of times when he needed, but at the end, they were not making sure he was hydrated, and he ended up being transported to a doctor for a near kidney failure. The doctor said he just needed to be hydrated when they got him to the hospital, and he was able to recover. They were ready to put him in hospice. I called the doctor when he had his appointment and he said he’s not going back there, that we need to put him in a hospital, and we need to figure something else out. Our problem was he kept testing positive for COVID. We actually brought him home and paid a lot for in-home care because we didn’t want him to go back there.

When I had my knee surgery I was in rehab at The Glenview at Pelican Bay. It was very good. It was excellent. They gave me good care. They made sure I wasn’t in pain. The food was very good. It’s a top notch place. I had a very nice, private room. One thing though is they’re on a hill, so it’s a little tough to get there and park, but other than that, it is a very nice place and it is in a very nice location. Everything is very clean, very nice, and very well taken care of. I had physical therapy, which was excellent. I didn’t participate in any other social activity because I was incapacitated. I had physical therapy every day and they were terrific; they were just really good. Medicare covered it. I had the upgraded room and I did have to pay a little bit out of pocket for it, but it wasn’t much.

Some of the nurses and aides were beyond wonderful; however, there were some aides that yelled at and frightened my 90 year old mother when her colostomy bag less as leaked. She requested assistance and no one came to see her for 6 hours. The social worker actually slammed the door in my face while I was trying to get my mother discharged. If you needed help, if you asked in person, they’d tell you to go back and push the assistance button. Horrible experience.

I tried to do 4 1/2 stars, but it would not work.
I spent 6 weeks at the Chateau and every day was pleasant. The nursing staff, aids, rehab. techs., house cleaning, and administration staff are very professional, knowledgeable, and always pleasant.. Every convenience is available…even a salon, books, puzzles, entertainment, all in a beautiful facility surrounded by lovely gardens.
My reason for wanting a half star, is because of the food service……they really try, but soup and coffee were always cool when served in room. The dining room service is confusing……at a table of four, two were on dessert while the others waited for their entrees. However, the food selection is huge. Just a bit of fine tuning needed.
All in all, I highly recommend The Chateau at Moorings Park.

My mom was in Brookdale Center for about two weeks. It was an excellent facility with staff who practiced great attentiveness and good communication with the family, which we really looked forward to. We wanted to make sure that things were getting done and that they were communicating with me. I received calls from the doctors, therapists and other staff members, which was my expectation. It’s a hospital-based system, so it’s part of the wing of the hospital, not it’s own facility. It’s very well cared for. She was only there for a very short time, but it was clean and friendly, and the staff was very attentive. We didn’t have any issues at all.

Heritage Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center is not top of the line. My wife is currently in their rehab because it’s the only place available in Naples, but we want to move her out.
The facility is very old. It’s been here as long as I’ve been in Florida and in this city; that’s 40 years.
It’s fairly clean though. Most (if not everything) is clean. If you look at the sink, there is a stain. It’s all rusted. Other than that, they do clean. The floors are nice and shiny with no dirt whatsoever.
The staff is fine. When I ask a question, they give me an answer; it’s not a one-word answer. They tell me exactly what they’re doing.
For the most part, she doesn’t mind activities, but there are certain activities they want her to do that she’s not ready to do yet. They try to insist she does it, but she does not and she tells them she can’t do it. They don’t want to accept that. Like they want her to stand up, but she can’t stand up.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Naples, Florida
Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
- Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one’s stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
- Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
- Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
