My loved one lived here for Independent Living and it was great. It's like being in a 5 start hotel. She lived on the 18th floor and had an amazing view. If her care needs hadn't have changed, she would still be here. The Assisted Living side here didn't have great reviews and I had heard some not great feedback from residents there and friends of residents. Ultimately, we decided to look elsewhere when my loved one's care needs changed. But I would definitely recommend them for Independent Living.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts from when your loved one lived at Calusa Harbour. Unfortunately our community received significant damage as a result of Hurricane Ian, as did much of the Fort Myers area. All of our residents have been moved to other communities while repairs are being made. While this has been a challenging period for our residents -- and our neighbors up and down the Gulf Coast -- we are excited about the changes that will be coming to our community soon. Check out our website for the latest details and we hope you look at us again in the future.

Grandma loves this Place

Our grandmother is just 2 weeks in and settling into her new community and she’s made more friends at Calusa Harbour than I did in my 4 years of college. We are so ecstatic to see her thriving and excited about this new chapter. Also a big shoutout to maintenance for making sure her tv was set up for her first night stay.

Excellent Choice

Requested food sent to my loved ones room due to mobility issues. She got breakfast but not lunch and dinner. Top notch place, the dining staff needs help. I can't seem to get ahold of anyone. I keep getting recordings. The rest of the staff from the front desk to activities are top notch. I think it's great.

I Should've Done This Earlier

The staff are very friendly and helpful towards the residents. The food is excellent here. There are lots of activities for the residents to participate in if they choose. The community is beautiful. I love my room. There is housekeeping once a week. They have a beautiful lanai There is a library on site for the residents to use. They allow pets to come into the community and can live with the residents. They allow overnight guests. I have beautiful views from my room. The community has transportation for shopping trips and doctor appointments. [Name removed] was a delight to help me get into the community and was very helpful.

A very nice facility

The staff members were very friendly, it was a great atmosphere and even during the time of covid they were very attentive to our loved ones needs. They always kept an eye on her, answered all questions, fixed any repairs and always encouraged her to get involved in activities.

Tour of Calusa Harbour

Calusa Harbour is a very large community. It is busy and there is a wide variety of people and things going on at all times. The decor was older and we did not get a homey feel from the facility. My parents are small town, so this was not the right fit for them.

Response from Calusa Harbour

December 9, 2021

Thanks for visiting us. We know that at first glance our size can feel overwhelming, but we are small and homey at heart. Amenities are often close to each resident’s apartment, and new residents find that they feel at home right away as our residents and team are very welcoming. Note also the community offers separate Independent and Assisted Living neighborhoods, which benefits those individuals whose needs change over time. We would be delighted to introduce you and your parents to happy residents and families who can share their experience of moving to Calusa Harbour. We'd also suggest considering a short term stay, which is perfect for people who want to try out the community without making a long term commitment. Please let us know if we can be of assistance, and we hope to see you again!

Mom is happy

We chose Calusa Harbour because they offered several different levels of care and I liked that she could go forward here. They have taken away skilled nursing, but they do still offer assisted living and independent living. Every one of thr staff members is so kind, we have not had any problems. The food is wonderful, we have eaten with her as well and we were impressed, they are chef prepared meals. it is a great value for the money. My mom is so happy here and we have been very pleased with our experience and would recommend.

We understand that size can be overwhelming at times. We would like to chat with you about some of the strong points of being a larger community. While the building is large, all of the amenities are close to each resident’s apartment as they can just hop aboard the nearest elevator to arrive for dining, programs and gatherings with friends. Another aspect that makes our community larger is that we have both Independent and Assisted Living neighborhoods which is a benefit should individual needs change. Our residents and team are very welcoming and newcomers find that they make new friendships and feel at home right away. We would be delighted to introduce your mother to happy residents who had the same feelings that she does so that your mom can ask them about life at Calusa Harbor. We do have two suggestions for your family. Arrange for a short “Staycation” for your mother so she can experience our warmth and hospitality firsthand before making a decision. We can also connect you with a sister community that is smaller in size, yet has the same Five Star signature programs.

Mom misses Calusa

My Mom lived at Calusa Harbor for over 3 years, The only reason she left was to move closer to her family. Calusa was a wonderful place for her and even though she is in a nice place now, she says "it isn't Calusa". I can't say enough about the responsiveness and caring of the people who work there. Mom could just call the desk or walk by the desk and someone always greeted her warmly and helped her. This was true of everyone there. The dining room staff, security, bus drivers, and custodians all could not have been more helpful to her. Their quality care helped her through many crisis'. My siblings and I always felt that Calusa kept her safe and happy. We are truly grateful."

Not as Nice as You Would Think

You would think "Oh, that would be a beautiful place to live," but when you go inside there is pipes running along the ceiling and it's not as nice as you would have thought. The apartments themselves are cute but they are very tiny. We couldn't live that crammed up, plus we have two little Yorkies. We also heard that the elevators were a problem.

Best Place I've Seen

I can't say one single thing bad about the place. The room was big, the room had a view, it was spectacular. It would have been the very best place. Just comparing the facilities, it was the most magnificent place that I saw. Because of medical condition of my friend, however, he was not ideal candidate. It was the same price as Emeritus, but much brighter, much better maintained, and just gorgeous. Food was delicious and the building was so beautifully maintained. Nothing else compared. Beautiful sitting areas, beautiful plants around the facility; I would move in myself.
