Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community, Brookdale Fort Myers The Colony, received numerous positive comments from reviewers, praising its attentive and caring staff, variety of engaging activities, and the overall environment. Many noted the community's focus on creating a pleasant and nurturing setting for residents, particularly those in memory care. The dedication of the staff was frequently highlighted, with one reviewer mentioning that the sales manager was very compassionate about their dad's needs. Another reviewer appreciated the community's ability to make their husband feel safe and content. The inclusion of amenities such as a hair salon, nice courtyard, and well-maintained common areas added to the community's appeal. Activities like sing-alongs, gardening, live entertainment, and even outings were offered to residents, contributing to a vibrant atmosphere. The community was described as clean, with efforts to maintain high standards of care and offer personalized attention, evidenced by the good resident-to-staff ratio mentioned by one reviewer.
However, there were a few negative comments interspersed with the praise. One common criticism was regarding the size and setup of the rooms, with a couple of reviewers mentioning that the rooms seemed basic or less appealing. Another point of concern was the medication management for one resident, which left them in a heavily medicated state, impairing their ability to communicate. It was also noted that renovations due to flooding from a hurricane had caused some difficulties, although this seemed to be a temporary issue. The criticism about some staff members' behavior when not under direct supervision was mentioned but appeared to be an isolated observation rather than a widespread concern.
In contrast, the positive feedback overwhelmingly emphasized the community's nurturing environment and the staff's caring nature. Many reviewers shared heartfelt thanks for the care provided to their family members, noting that knowing their loved ones were happy, engaged, and well cared for brought them significant peace of mind. The community's efforts to involve residents in various activities, the attentiveness to dietary needs, and the secure, clean, and welcoming physical environment were key highlights. Despite the minor criticisms, the community's strengths in providing tailored care and fostering a supportive and active community life for its residents stood out.
