November 13, 2024Thank you for your wonderful review, Dee! We’re thrilled to hear that you are enjoying the wide variety of engaging activities and our restaurant-style dining. Our team takes pride in maintaining a warm and welcoming community and we appreciate your compliments for all they do -- as well as your shout out for our beautiful views!
Calusa Harbour was a miracle that came out of the blue at the last minute (literally). Everyone was extremely helpful, accommodating and kind in getting my mother moved in fast (less than two weeks). The place is extremely clean, mom says the food is excellent and she also enjoys the activities. The people who work there are super nice and very helpful with anything you need. And, it’s a beautiful location, right on the river. I am at peace knowing my mom is in such a great place, truly.

We’ve had nothing but a great experience with Calusa Harbour. [name removed] was fantastic to work with. She knew residents by name and they her! During our tour, many residents chatted and joked with [name removed]. It was apparent their relationship was genuine! Many of the residents we met during and after our tour, told us they loved living there. We moved our mom in shortly there after and they have been super ever since! We would highly recommend CH!

August 23, 2024Thank you for your wonderful review Sandy! We're delighted that your experience with Calusa Harbour has been so positive, and we’re thrilled to hear how much you appreciated the connection between our team and residents as it’s always great to see those genuine relationships. We’re so glad your mom is happy here, and we truly appreciate your recommendation!
I actually think it's a great place. I gave it a 4 only because mom complains non stop. I believe it is more because of her cognitive issues than any actually problems with the facility.

July 25, 2024Thanks for your review Steven. I am the Executive Director and am glad to read you are happy with Calusa Harbour, and invite you to reach out to me personally if you would like to discuss any of your mom's concerns.
A Place For Mom went above and beyond our expectations and followed up regularly. They helped us find my moms facility and she called me a few days after moving in and said it’s the happiest she’s been since my dad passed away in 2013. Thank you all!

July 9, 2024Jon, thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're glad to read that Calusa Harbour is the perfect fit for your mom and thrilled to know that she is so happy here!
Initially with help of place for Mom it went smoothly and quickly. As we got her settled we notice Calusa has to week on communiication within their group and the response time back to the clients. The biggest frustration we have is we feel the bathroom in our grandma room isn't being cleaned enough for sanitary reasons.

June 24, 2024Hi. I am the Executive Director and would welcome the opportunity to speak with you. Strong communication with our families is important to us and I'm sorry that we've fallen short of your expectations. As your family's satisfaction and your grandmother’s well-being are our top priorities I invite you to reach out to me to discuss your concerns. Please contact me at the community at your earliest opportunity, and I look forward to speaking with you.
The staff have been wonderful at Calusa Harbour and my SIL ended up in the hospital only 10 days after she arrived. When she returned 6 weeks later, the staff welcomed her with open arms and have been so supportive and encouraging. She loves it there and thanks us all the time for choosing CH for her. She also raves about the food and says the chef is excellent!

April 25, 2024Dawn, we're honored to read you consider Calusa Harbour to be the perfect place for your grandmother to enjoy carefree living. Thank you for your recommendation and your kind words about our community and team!
I would rate all at a 5! My mom is having the time of her life! Everything has been wonderful and she is being so active, well fed and well taken care of, meeting new people, and having so much fun! Being able to stay month to month in her furnished studio apartment has been wonderful! She plans on staying five months next year. (She just did three months this year.) Many people don't know they do respite/seasonal stay.

February 7, 2024This is so nice to read! It is wonderful hearing that your mom is having the time of her life when she is here. We're glad she has made Calusa Harbour her Florida home!
It was a within my dads monthly income and he went and felt it was a good fit. We also looked at their sister community Palms at Ft. Myers. I thought that was nicer but he picked Calusa so we went with that.

January 19, 2024We're thrilled to read that you were impressed with both Calusa Harbour and our sister community of The Palms of Fort Myers during your visits -- and that at the end of the day your dad decided that Calusa Harbour was the best fit for him. We are honored to have him here and appreciate your review.
I would recommend Calusa Harbour to others looking for retirement living.

September 13, 2023I am the Executive Director and want to thank you for you five star review. We're thrilled to know that while our location first brought you here, the warmth and amenities won you over. Please contact me in the future if I can be of assistance in helping you resolve any issues you may experience.
My loved one lived here for Independent Living and it was great. It's like being in a 5 start hotel. She lived on the 18th floor and had an amazing view. If her care needs hadn't have changed, she would still be here. The Assisted Living side here didn't have great reviews and I had heard some not great feedback from residents there and friends of residents. Ultimately, we decided to look elsewhere when my loved one's care needs changed. But I would definitely recommend them for Independent Living.

November 10, 2022Thanks for sharing your thoughts from when your loved one lived at Calusa Harbour. Unfortunately our community received significant damage as a result of Hurricane Ian, as did much of the Fort Myers area. All of our residents have been moved to other communities while repairs are being made. While this has been a challenging period for our residents -- and our neighbors up and down the Gulf Coast -- we are excited about the changes that will be coming to our community soon. Check out our website for the latest details and we hope you look at us again in the future.
Our grandmother is just 2 weeks in and settling into her new community and she’s made more friends at Calusa Harbour than I did in my 4 years of college. We are so ecstatic to see her thriving and excited about this new chapter. Also a big shoutout to maintenance for making sure her tv was set up for her first night stay.

September 20, 2022This is wonderful to read Cassie! It is so great to read that she is quickly making friends and is enjoying life at Calusa Harbour. Thanks for the 5-star review and shout out for our hard working maintenance team. P.S. We'll try to remind her to call you all once in awhile :-)
Requested food sent to my loved ones room due to mobility issues. She got breakfast but not lunch and dinner. Top notch place, the dining staff needs help. I can't seem to get ahold of anyone. I keep getting recordings. The rest of the staff from the front desk to activities are top notch. I think it's great.

A Place for Mom has scored Calusa Harbour 9.5 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.
We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.
Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
