An Answer To Our Prayers

The facility is always clean, decorated, provides a happy vibe appeal. The staff is excellent. They work hard as a team to deliver excellent care to the residents. Communication has been wonderful.

It's a very nice facility but my concern was when you run out of your own money they only get private funding and that sure leaves a big question mark in a person's future

Has room for improvements

The food is good. No activities Director. Care staff, business manager, and housekeeping staff are acting as activities Director. Not many activities taking place. Facility cleanliness is hit or miss. No health and wellness Director. Staff are kind and mostly caring. Apartment sizes are good

Review for Brookdale Fort Myers The Colony

It was 5 stars at first but when they lost a lot a staffing...it went to more like 3 stars. I know it takes a lot to take care of all the needs of so many people. We noticed changes in the cleanliness, lack of staff in the main area. Many times there may not be any staff at all in the main area.

Our family experience

They have hired a new Wellness Director who is still in training. Not sure when they start. The activities director seems good. She engages the residents and has a mix of activities and folks from the outside coming in. The staff are very kind and caring. The facility is older and I think needs a refurbishment. The food is ok. I understand from the cooks that they don't have a lot of freedom on what they prepare. Menu seems set by Brookdale Corporate. I think they should have more frequent housekeeping. But overall I think it's a good memory care facility.

Some staffing challenges

It has taken 6 weeks for staff to do their jobs correctly. [name removed], Wellness Director is wonderful. Food is good. The Social Director left 4 weeks ago. Still no replacement. The Executive Director got a promotion and has gone to another Brookdale location. There is a temporary Executive Director.

Peace Of Mind / Life Savers!

My mother-in-law has been at this facility about 4 months now. I want to give a special shout out to [name removed] & [name removed] on giving my family our lives back! This place is AMAZING in appearance and how its ran. The patients are taken care of in exceptional manner! They also make the families feel cared about too during visits. My MIL is THRIVING! Her mental & physical health improved because of this place. [name removed] was the reason I showed up, and then [name removed] & [name removed] are the reasons I brought my MIL there. I visited other places... No comparison! THANK YOU isn't enough for the positive difference they have made for my MIL and the rest of our family. You feel loved from the time you pull up in the parking lot, and then throughout the whole facility. They keep the patients active and involved! My MIL feels she has a purpose there. This makes my heart happy. The way this place is managed needs to be recognized. Me & my family are so very grateful!

A Life Changing Blessing For Mom and Me

I spent years wondering if my mom needed elevated assistance due to her cognitive decline. After some tremendously low moments, I began my search for memory care. After multiple tours I FELL IN LOVE with Brookdale in The Colony. Why? THE STAFF. The director [name removed] is an old soul who genuinely cares for the residents & passes that to the staff. She believes in music & the celebration of Holidays which creates a home kind of setting. Next, the intimate, memory care only, setting. The low number of residents allows your loved one to get AMAZING care. Finally, the program coordinator [name removed] has created an environment of stimulating fun! From field trips, daily games, or an afternoon Happy Hour with loved ones, the resident's cohesiveness is front & center. My mom was in rough shape on day 1, but she has made a miraculous turnaround & is the life of the party now! She needed Brookdale and is beyond happy & at peace & that is so important to me. Thank you Brookdale from the bottom of my heart.

Getting Dad Settled

It was a sunny day like most in Florida . The Bus from Brookdale The Colony Fort Myers was here to pick up my dad . He went filling and when inside enjoyed a nice lunch and sat watching everyone around him . The Staff was chatting with him and when my mom and myself brought his belongings realized that he’d be staying got a little agitated as most New Residents do . I can’t say Enough Praise for [name removed], [name removed], and [name removed]and I am Sure I am missing more staff too but There Care , Patience and Expertise of Managing Memory Care Patients is Outstanding !!! I look forward to learning All the staff who are helping with my dad and his care . If you’ve been considering placement of a Loved One , I Highly Recommend Brookdale the Colony of Fort Myers .

An incredibly beautiful place for your loved ones

We came to visit the facility with My mother as her condition with memory worsened. We were received by a loving team of special loving people who made her feel right at home. She realized that being in a memory care unit was not as she always imagined. She made new friends and realized that been old was a norm instead of an exception. I cannot find the words to thank all the staff for making my Mom happy on her last days on this earth.

Peace of mind

[name removed] the Executive Director is very responsive to any issues or concerns I have about Moms care. She addresses them right away. Some of the caregivers go above and beyond - I wish I knew all their names! [name removed] stands out in my mind - always with a smile on her face and ready to help! Ways to improve on the cleanliness and the food- Clean the resident bathrooms more thoroughly and get better quality food. That being said, their Thanksgiving Day meal was delicious!

We are new here, but haven’t moved in yet, and so far everything is moving smoothly. Great staff as far as I can tell. I can tell by the video walkthrough and my caregivers knowledge that this will be an excellent choice for my step father.

Caring Environment

My mom has been staying at Brookdale since January. The staff has been so accommodating to mom and her needs. The staff kept in touch before and after the recent storm. It was very comforting to know mom was safe and in a caring environment.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Memory Care. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know Florida’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Florida’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
