Brookdale best apartments for seniors in Ft Myers
I moved to Brookdale in June of 2023 and couldn’t be happier. The people here are friendly, helpful and intelligent. I am very impressed with our staff. The chef is incredibly talented and offers 3 entrees a day. Food is delicious and the dining room staff treats you like family. The staff cares about the residents and we are invited to take part in creating menus, activities and entertainment. It’s truly a place to make friends, join clubs, and our suggestions are valued. The director is visible and is never in her office. She listens, solves problems and her goal is to keep us safe and happy. She has succeeded. Take a tour with [name removed], she doesn’t pressure or pester potential residents. The apartments are beautiful and the villas are best kept secret in Ft. Myers. I have made wonderful friends and the older you get the harder it is to find quality friends. There are Friends for life waiting for you here.

Pleased with our experience
We are very happy with our choice! They were all very friendly, patient and knowledgeable when we first started looking. And now that moms there, I have found the staff to be awesome. They are hard working, courteous and I think they are very aware of how each resident is doing and pay a little extra time with new folks. We're very happy there. The apartment sizes are also nice and spacious as well.

When it comes to the cleanliness of the community some areas need to be updated and hallways need to be repainted. The staff members are awesome. With the activities there is something always going on for the residents.

Great choice for family
We have had a great experience so far with Brookdale College Parkway. It has been a wonderful fit for my loved one. They are not there right now because of Hurricane Ian - so they had to evacuate and move to a different facility in Orlando. I thought the facility handled it all very well, I was super impressed with them.

Tour experience
We absolutely loved Brookdale College Parkway - this facility was our second choice. The building was beautiful and all of the residents as well as the staff members were great to us. It does have a little more of a formal feel to it. The reason we did not choose them was because they did not have wire free internet - they were in the process of getting it. For most people that would not be an issue but it was for my mother.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Brookdale College Parkway

Brookdale College Parkway offers 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Brookdale College Parkway 9.9 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
