Memory Care
My mother has been at Venice Green Village for over a year. It gives me peace if mind to know my mother is being well cared for. Her health has actually improved now that she's eating better and gets her medication at the proper times.
I can’t say enough about how wonderful this place is. My family and I are here very nearly every day, at all different times, so we see all different shifts, departments and activities. The nursing staff and care givers are AMAZING; warm, competent, PATIENT, professional, fun, engaging and very loving to the residents. From the drivers, to the therapists, activities, facilities team, front desk staff, housekeeping, sales & marketing…they all have a moment for a quick word, a hug, a warm smile. The staff operates as a team, focusing on each individual resident and their life enrichment. Safety is paramount, The facilities are lovely and the activities are plentiful and a key part of moms joy here. We researched quite a few places before deciding on placement. Mom has thrived under the care provided here and I am grateful I found this place at this time in her life.
The Wickshire Ft. Myers community is very bright, cheery, friendly and clean. We think their apartments are super nice and very appropriate. Even though our loved one says the meals are a hit or a miss we do think they do a good job with the meals and dining service. The value for the money is very good.
