Five Star Senior Living

I would recommend it especially if he or she owned a car. We have a gated garage safe from floods and the best valets ever.

It's a nice place to stay for retirement! But they need to improve their meals for the Elderly! Some say the meals are crappy and are not well balanced! Lots of sandwiches with hardly no veggies, that are nutritious for the body!

They were close to all the family and it seemed like a home environment .I would recommend the facility

Although I have not been there yet, my parents are very happy. It was hard for them to leave their home but they have settled in and made new friends. I look forward to visiting soon. They tell me the food is great.

In general staff seem competent My mom does not need a lot of care and oversight. But they know each resident. They respond appropriately in emergencies They have a point system which they share which determines level of care and any additional cost The medication management has improved as has administrative communication They have resident meetings each month They take the residents to doctors appointments which is very helpful The kitchen and dining staff are very sweet and the food is plentiful , taste good and good portions and they serve a lot of fresh fruit along w all types of meat and full healthy breakfasts every day in addition to a flexible menus if the resident doesn't like the specials for the day. Snacks are avail 24/7 in the activity room

Good baseline facility. Offers 24 hour nursing response. in one case, our family member senior, we staying for a short time, was left unattended, even though he called for help in the room in the evening, raising a question of consistent response. Food is Acceptable but not upscale, featuring a half shot glass at cocktail hours, and typically white bread open face turkey sandwich, or sloppy Sam's.

I would recommend Church Creek and say my in-laws enjoy it very much.

The staff that works with the residence is phenomenal. Every resident there is happy and loves the staff. As the caregiver, my issues are supposed to be done twice a week have been times when they haven’t done it once a week. Rooms are supposed to be cleaned once a week bed linens changed, it took three weeks at one point. I think this is a staffing issue. The director just left so hopefully this is a short term problem when you send an email to the appropriate person it does get handled but right now as a caregiver I have to stay on top of it.

I chose Fountainview over others I looked at food, friendliness, and the upkeep of the grounds. I would recommend this facility to others looking.

Mom absolutely loves it where she is. She does complain about the food sometimes, but who doesn't. They have LOTS of outings where they take the residents out to shop, sightsee, eat, etc--she LOVES that!!

There is several positive: the onsite doctor's office, the pharmacy next door delivers, it's clean. Downside is one of the two elevators have been out of order for 9 months. The staff doesn't handle the delivery of medications properly. They just sit there unless the residents ask about it. They don't get notified. The old people tend to be cold so the dining room is cool for the staff but the residents need to bring sweaters. The big issue for my family is the transportation they say they have but not really. You put in a request months in advance and they wait until the week before to inform you they are unable to take the resident to the appointment even though they say doctors appointments take priority. On a whole my mom and aunt are very happy there and the complaints are minor compared to their happiness.

There were a few glitches as you always experience with a move, but on the whole it turned out to be a great choice. Any issues were addressed and corrected, which is nice to see. The staff is friendly and helpful. The activities are plentiful, and the food choices are good. The friends that my Mom has already met there are a welcome addition to her daily routine.

The overall experience is a solid 4. Cleanliness is a 5. Friendliness of staff is a 5. Quality of care is a 4. It's difficult to provide assistance for a Parkinson's patient. My caring for a husband with Ataxia would rate a 4 as well because you can't keep up with this kind of person. Meals, I've eaten there and it's not a 5 star kind of dining, but the food is presented well, tasty and made fresh in house. However, the kitchen has changed hands. Based on my past experience, I would give it a solid 4. They have a nice like bistro for drinks, fruit, pastries, soup and salads type things. Open until like 2 pm. Very nice for a snack. Activities are what made me choose this facility. Always something to do, games, cards, movies, trips, shopping, a bar for those that have that need, library, crafts, get togethers for special holidays and birthday. Probably even more than what I know. Value for cost - I think it's good. It's an expensive place to be in a care facility. Must have some resources on your own.

Everyone is so welcoming when you enter. [name removed], always has a smile for you as I walk in the door. The front desk staff is also wonderful to work with. Everytime the laundry is done it seems things go missing. His blanket that the Veterns gave him when they visited is missing. Think his name is on it. A nap blanket that the Haven gave him when he left has been missing since his 2nd day [name removed] came. The food is delicious. I have had an anniversary dinner with [name removed] there & the staff was wonderful. I truly like the staff & they seem to care about the residents. I miss [name removed]. She is the best caring person.

I feel very safe here, and I'm mostly paying for that, as I have personal reasons involving my safety. I love that this is a locked building with an overnight security person. I would have rated almost everything higher but I think the quality of food is very below average. The cooks are not experienced and I'm told that the former chef served wonderful meals. He has passed away and the old-timers here say the food has really gone down! Everyone seems to think the food should be way better for a 'Five-Star' facility. There's a great deal of turnover and many of the servers and kitchen help is expected to do it all. I also feel that our BG bus is too limited for medical visits, with only two days per week allowed. There are far too many residents to have to try to keep their appointments on either Tuesday or Thursday! The other days are Monday for shopping and banking, etc., Wednesday until noon for errands, etc., and on Friday usually an out of town trip is scheduled for a casino, etc. I think the laundry facilities leave much to be desired. Even today, I had to make several trips to find a vacant washer, and I'll be up until way late tonight by the time I can have them dried.

Super helpful staff at this very well run & clean facility. There are a variety of activities and lively parties enjoyed by all residents. Only negative has been shortages of some food items. Overall a great place to live for any senior.

Sometimes the food is not hot or maybe overcooked. Also sometimes they can't get entertainment for happy hour. My father would like some other activities to be available.

My dad is very happy at The Palms for Fort Meyers!

I was in a terrible time bind and really had few options for Dad. They jumped into action and made suggestions, offered advice and ensured we could get him into a place quickly! We got him into a temporary unit while the permanent one was set up. I could not have been any happier with the service and time given to me and the situation I was thrown into. Plus Dad is now really enjoying his new home!! Thank you!!

My dad lives at Leisure Park independent living, apartment-style living with well-maintained grounds and a strong sense of community. The spacious, modern apartments are thoughtfully designed for seniors, featuring walk-in showers, emergency call systems, and plenty of natural light. The staff is friendly and attentive, organizing a variety of activities like exercise classes, music events and clubs to keep residents engaged. Dining options are excellent, with nutritious meals served in a restaurant-style setting. The facility’s location is another plus, being close to shopping, medical services, and public transportation. Overall, they offer a vibrant, supportive environment where seniors can enjoy their golden years with peace of mind. Highly recommended!
