Brookdale Fort Myers Cypress Lake

Brookdale Fort Myers Cypress Lake is a senior living community with options for assisted living, independent living, skilled nursing, and memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, offering different levels of support so people can stay in the same place even if their needs change, and the building has three stories with several choices for living spaces like studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments, each with private layouts and some with kitchens that have white cabinets, stovetops, and double sinks, while upstairs and downstairs there are both indoor and outdoor common areas, including a library with bookshelves and computers, a living room with comfortable seating and a TV, a game room with billiards and card tables, a theater, a coffee shop, an arts and crafts studio, and a greenhouse, plus a courtyard, walking paths, gardens, and a hot tub and swimming pool surrounded by landscaping and seats, and they welcome pets and make it easy for residents to move around with wheelchair-accessible showers, full tubs, and accessible entrances.

The staff's always there around the clock to help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, and managing medicines, which is useful for those who want some help but don't need full-time nursing, while people living with memory loss have spaces designed for both safety and comfort, with enclosed courtyards and doors that keep wandering to a minimum, and the registered nurse looks out for residents' health, offering health checks, immunizations, and wellness visits, as well as managing chronic problems like diabetes and high blood pressure, and the community even plans meals, including vegetarian and kosher options, to fit special diets and personal tastes, serving them in dining rooms with big tables for people to eat together if they want company.

There's a lot going on most days, like crafts, games, golf, movies, and brain games meant to keep people enjoying themselves and staying sharp, and there are religious services both on and off-site for those who want them, plus a beauty and barber shop, a therapy room, a clinic, and parking for both residents and guests, with transportation for trips to appointments or errands out in town, so people don't have to worry about how to get around.

Everything's designed so people can age in place, even if they need more help over time, whether they want to join in activities or find some quiet time sitting by the pool or in the gardens, and there's also respite care if someone needs a short stay, and resources on senior care planning for residents and their families, so there's support for both daily life and long-term needs.
