Calusa Harbour sits along the Caloosahatchee River in Fort Myers, Florida, and offers a community for people aged 55 and up who want either independent living or need support with daily activities through assisted living or memory care. Well-trained staff stay on site day and night to help with personal needs, medication, and support for those with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, with licensed nursing care, in-house doctor visits, and both physical and occupational therapy services also available. Residents get up to three meals served every day with options for community dining rooms, restaurant-style dining, or private dining rooms, and there's a MyChoice Dining Program as well as a Five Star Culinary dining option. For relaxation or socializing, there are indoor and outdoor pools, a hot tub, a fitness center, outdoor patios and gardens, a dog park, a pond and a lake, and covered parking with a gated entry.
People can find studio and two-bedroom apartments with full-size kitchens or kitchenettes, maintenance included, and weekly personal laundry, daily trash, and housekeeping services. There are also short-term and respite care stays for those who don't need to live there all the time and want transitional or temporary support. social and recreational programs fill up the calendar with things like happy hours, group trips, clubs, movie nights, creative classes, and even ballroom dancing. The community holds scheduled meetings for residents and their families along with educational programs for families. There are parks, a courtyard garden, a gazebo, a lanai with river views, and indoor spots like a library, chapel, computer stations, a game room, and activity studio. Residents have several transportation services around town, shopping close by, and the grounds and buildings get regular care.
Pet-friendly policies let residents have their animals, and there's also community-wide pet therapy now and then. Beauty salon and barber services are on site. Residents can join religious services either in the chapel or on the grounds, with offsite devotional trips too. Memory care programs help reduce confusion and prevent wandering for people with dementia. For meals and daily life, folks can enjoy complimentary breakfast and mix-and-match dining options. Apartments come with full kitchens if preferred. Some special staff at Calusa Harbour have more than 40 years of experience, and the whole place feels a bit like living on a cruise, with lots of shared spaces for chatting, dining, or relaxing with a view of the water.
