Review for The Summit of Fort Myers
Air conditioning went out 3 times. One of 3 elevators for whole complex has never been working. Common areas could be vacuumed more regularly. Meals need improving. Many times what is listed to be served is not what is plated. Many dishes are very spicy without stating as such. I have stopped eating all the meals in the restaurant. Service is slow and one rarely receives replenishment of beverages. My iced tea glass was served with lipstick on the glass (not mine). The pool was contaminated and closed for several weeks.

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 Summit of Fort Myers has been a good one.

It is a great place. The staff is very good and always ready to help. I really am glad, that I made this decision. The residents seem to be very happy. They have line dancing, card games, chair yoga, shopping tours, water aerobics, and cocktail hour on Fridays. They also offer church services, and Bible Study. The value for the money is right on target. The food is very well balanced. I would recommend to others looking for independent living.

A Place for Mom has scored The Summit of Fort Myers 9.4 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.
