The Arlington of Naples

My wife and I have been residents in independent living here for almost five years. We are very pleased to be here. The friendliness of the other residents, as well as the staff makes us feel right at home. During the recent Covid outbreak the staff took all precautions to protect us, including delivering meals to our home. There are daily activities, including adult educational opportunities, as well as outdoor activities including a swimming pool and bocce. The evenings have entertainment and movies. We enjoy the food and the company of good friends.

My wife and I have lived in the Independent Living section of the Arlington for a few days more than one year. We are at peace here and feel safe and secure. Of utmost importance to us is the family atmosphere here which provides for us meaningful connections with people who have shared lives similar to ours. It feels like we are in an extended family who never hesitates to support and help us through this period of our lives. The dining facilities are excellent, with impressive menus of very good food. The activities seem countless. We can busy ourselves almost all day if we want to. We involve ourselves in many different kinds of these activities, but the one I like most is the Thursday morning men's coffee at which residents give talks about their many experience in life and they are extraordinary. I haven't missed one of these gatherings since our arrival. We also have a very active Resident's Council. Members are residents just like us. The Council is committed to making sure all residents are happy living here.

We have lived in a condo at The Arlington of Naples (AON) for over a year. Prior to coming here, like many in our age group, we looked at many facilities in the area...some larger, some smaller but chose AON because it was new, a comfortable size, spotlessly clean, lots of amenities, great balcony views and in Lely Resort....a new, growing and well thought out community barely 20 minutes from 5th Ave. AON provides everything we need for now and the future and virtually everything is just an elevator ride away. There are excellent venues for dining (as good a breakfast & lunch as any Naples restaurant) and the evening dinner menu provides a more than adequate variety of delicious entrees....then there is the Pub, a casual meeting place, where we can enjoy our favorite drink. We had a very active country club lifestyle for two decades and needed to keep active. Whether you're active or prefer a quiet lifestyle, AON has it......indoor and outdoor pools, clubhouse with cabanas & spas, fitness, aerobics and minutes away, golf and tennis. Social directors provide a variety of lectures, trips to the theater, plays, parks, beaches, sports games, etc. Within the AON is the Cultural Arts Center, a venue for vocalists, pianists, violinists, story tellers, and Renaissance Academy presentations which challenge your minds, etc. Men's movie nite with popcorn & beer in the Cinema room and a movie for everyone each Saturday nite. Special events include jazz brunches, dinner dances, cocktail parties, book clubs, many card and table games. In essence, AON is like living in a five star hotel.....with one exception, this is our home and our neighbors are our extended family of friends, who also are very happy to have made this lifestyle choice....
