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.

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 Summit of Fort Myers has been a good one.

Get Your Mom Here!!!

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.

It is my home

After visiting [name removed] and then walking into The Summit of Ft. Myers there was no questions where I would call home but The Summit. The feeling of warmth and caring from residents was overwhelming. This is my home and where I will be until God takes me

Our family had an in person tour and we thought The Summit was wonderful. I was impressed as soon as I walked into the door, there was a welcome [name removed] sign at the front desk. I would have put my dad in Summit but they had no one bedrooms available. They did offer a two bedroom at a discount but I still could see it. The Summit to me is a resort style living and Brookdale is more homey feeling. If I were moving now I would pick the Summit for me. I like the resort feeling.

Tour experience

We toured with The Summit of Fort Meyers and it was an absolutely gorgeous facility. The food was AMAZING and they work with vegetarians which was a must for us. The facility was more formal and my mom is a more casual person which was why she decided against this facility.

Very Comfortable New Home

The facility has bright, open spaces and is exceptionally clean. The staff are friendly and welcoming. It's a little on the pricey side, but the resident rooms are oversized, which is nice. And his laundry facility is inside his residence, which is great.
