Recent reviews of Independent Living in Buckingham, FL
Seaside at Fort Myers
4.0

I am currently a resident at Seaside at Fort Myers and my experience at this facility has been good. The staff is nice and passionate. The cleanliness and friendliness is good. The care services, value for cost and activities are also good. The food is cold a lot of times. I do eat in my room a lot though, so that could be my issue but I'm going to start going down and getting my food. So hopefully, it will stay warm!
