It has been excellent!

I moved here 6 months ago after viewing, in person, several, independent living facilities. I knew what I was looking for, and The Summit met those needs plus so many more. There are numerous, wonderful indoor and outdoor activities. Medical services are close by, and the drive to the beaches is so easy. The staff is competent and so very friendly; I enjoy all the residents; I love my apartment! Am I happy here? You bet! Also, the food is great.

A cruise on dry land

Before moving to The Summit, I checked out several other senior living facilities. Some were nice, while others were not so much. I hadn’t considered The Summit because I thought it was a condo.A Place for Mom suggested it and I made an appointment. The staff were so nice and toured the place with me. I even had a sample meal there too. The food was top restaurant quality. This was important to me since I do not cook. The agent selected an apartment for me near the elevator and parking which suited me well as I use a walker. I have a nice view where I can see out over the trees from the fourth floor, as well as sight of the road. I like to see life passing by in some sort of way. I feel like I’m living in a high class hotel or on a cruise ship. The meals are provided along with lots of activities. The bus will go various places like groceries and shopping, even the flea market or casino. It’s nice to have housekeeping too. I am very pleased to have made the move.

We found the facilities bright and light the personal were all friendly and the residents were also friendly. The property was kept neat outside and clean throughout. There are printed lists of activities but while we were there we only saw a few residents “active”. Reading, playing cards, walking and in the gym.

The Summit is a wonderful place to live. The staff is amazing and tenured. Food is outstanding with a restaurant in walking distance. The best independent community in Fort Myers. It is worth a look see.

Review for The Summit of Fort Myers

We no longer live at The Summit and would not recommend to any one. The place is more of an assisted living facility instead of independent living. Food was terrible. Many times we did not receive what was ordered.

Would recommend.

It's been very positive. The staff have been very friendly and always helpful. Have responded in reasonable time t o our maintenance requests. The meals fairly good. Some better than others but I understand that happens. Personally I need to eat gluten free but I'm doing fine. Staff is quick and willing to check any food item I question. We feel that our choice of The SUMMITT has been a good one.
