I am very happy with my experience at Canterfield of Fort Myers. My grandfather moved in about 3 months ago and I don’t have anything negative to say. All of the staff is very attentive, they know each residents name and personality traits. The facility is very clean and well maintained. My grandfather is a resident in memory care, I am so pleased knowing he is safe and in good hands. They have lots of activities for the residents to enjoy and the food looks very enjoyable. My grandfather has had a positive weight gain since moving in. The staff address any and all concerns I have in very timely manner.

Canterfield of Fort Myers is an institution that provides care and support for elderly individuals and support for individuals who suffer from memory care. Canterfield has a warm and friendly staff who is always attentive to the needs of your loved ones. My first experience was when Ian came to Florida and my brother lost his home. I had no idea how to find him an Assisted Living Home where he could call his new home. I made many phone calls from New York and a lovely lady from Canterfield helped me through the process. My brother spent the next year and a half in this wonderful environment until he passed away on March 6. He was 90 years old and I thank the staff at Canterfield for making his years there so happy.

When dad’s illness had him unable to care for mom in her dementia, [names removed] and all the caring staff at Canterfield provided the respite he needs so he can take care of himself. His situation changed quickly, and Jessica was able to accommodate us, always saying ‘don’t worry, we can help’. Canterfield’s caring team has provided peace of mind for her family so we can help dad through his illness. The staff are attentive, plan fun activities, and encourage the residents. Everyone is treated with love and respect.

My brother is a new resident at Canterfield of fort myers. It has been a wonderful and pleasant experience. Anything that needed taking care of was done immediately. All the staff are helpful and very pleasant. I had him in another facility for a short time and it was a very unpleasant experience. I couldn't be more pleased with everything here.

The experience has been positive. Staff are caring and patient. Caring leadership. There is staff turnover and much training is always in process. Facility is clean. Medical attention has been perfect. Activities have increased over the past few months which is appreciated by the residents. Meals could be augmented with more fresh vegetables and fruits. Good value as well.

Mom loves it there. I guess for me the aspects I like the most are the caring, friendly, smiling, wonderful staff that I can't afield. It was a good choice and a very good fit for Mom. I think that they were a very good fit for mom's budget and since she's been at the facility I find them to be an outstanding staff.

Our experience with Canterfield of Fort Myers has been a great experience. Everyone, and I mean everyone, working here goes out of their way to be helpful. My mom was hospitalized for almost a month. They were instrumental in getting her back. If anybody needs a recommendation, this is the place. My Mom refers to Canterfield of Fort Myers as her House. Can't think of a bigger endorsement.

Our family had an in person tour with Canterfield of Fort Myers and we thought the community and tour experience was great but it was not the place for our loved one
Response from Canterfield of Fort Myers
November 22, 2023Thank you for coming in to tour with us! I am sad to hear that we were not the place for your loved one, but I am glad it sounds you found their home. I always compare it to finding your "senior dorm/college", similar places with similar amenities/services but different feels. You have to find the best "feel" or atmosphere that matches up with your loved one. If anything changes, we will still be right here!
After 3 homes for my Mom in the past 3 years, we finally found her forever home at Canterfield. She lives in the memory care unit - but rather than feeling like a resident, it's more like she's living with extended family. While the facilities are clean, quite new, and well-maintained what makes Canterfield shine are the people. At every level - from the top exec to activities to aides and housekeeping - every person there truly loves the people and families of Canterfield. A message or text with a picture/update of my mom is an almost weekly occurrence; being greeted by smiling faces is common; and walking in on someone hugging my mom or hearing "I love you" is a regular thing. The activities department excels - and families are always encouraged and welcomed to be a part. My mom is encouraged to join in - but never forced to do something she doesn't want to do. Her quality of life has greatly improved since moving to Canterfield; I wish I had found them sooner!!

June 2, 2023Thank you for your positive review, we aim to have every loved one feel the way you do about Grandma's care. Our maintenance and housekeeping team work very hard to keep up with the building, and it shows. Concerns like incontinence is a very common thing in senior years but that's one of the many reasons we are here! Our staff is grateful to hear feedback like this so I will be sure to share this with the team. Also, the appreciation is two sided, we thank you for becoming one of our family members and sharing your grandma with us!
My home care agency has participated in sponsoring and partnering on several events in the past year. [Name removed] and the team at Canterfield plans and promotes fun events for their residents! Live music, good food and a great time are had by all who attend. The community is well-maintained. The staff is caring and friendly. The leadership by all of the directors is reflected well in my experiences at Canterfield.

June 2, 2023As a reviewer that works in the industry you know how much hard work and dedication goes into all that we do. Our activities director is a truly passionate leader amongst our team, certainly fulfilling her duties of creating happiness within the building. She is a very important part of our team, and we appreciate that you think so too!
[name removed] their activities Director is one amazing human. This little woman has so much to give to this facility. I preform there and I see how much energy she brings to those residents. This woman can throw a party. They have one angel there. Canterfield is very lucky to have someone so dedicated to their job.

My wife chose to continue staying there for the duration of her therapy. That speaks for itself. She feels safe in their friendly environment. She has quite enjoyed the activities that [name removed] has created. And the concierge desk is run by dedicated folks.

June 2, 2023You and your wife bring so much joy to our building! Thank you for sharing your feedback with us but more importantly we thank for joining us in making the best of life's curveballs. Seeing your wife walk in physical therapy is such an amazing thing after all she has been through. A true inspiration and love story that is very admirable to say the least.
She said some staff members are better than others but you get that everywhere. She noted some are absolutely wonderful and have become good friends that she's gotten close to, but didn't name names
