Recent reviews of Nursing Homes in Lee County, FL
Hampton Manor of Cape Coral
4.6

Would be a 5 overall but for the food. Really dad's biggest complaint was the food. The nurse [name removed] was nasty but they replaced her and she was great! I think her name is [name removed] . It really is a great clean place. The food should be better and that is a common theme at these places. I just think it immoral not to provide elderly with good food

The Opal at Lakes Park in Fort Myers, FL
4.9

The Opal aut Lakes Park has been a wonderful place for my mother-in law. She is getting excellent care. The staff, especially [name removed] is one of The main reasons we chose Opal. It takes special people to work with the elderly: this team does a great job!

Brookdale Cape Coral
5.0

Brookdale on Country Club Blvd in Cape Coral, FL is OUTSTANDING! Here’s why. My loved one needed a place quickly after rehab as she could no longer live alone. Fortunately, I toured Brookdale and immediately knew it would be a great place for her. Having had my mother at a more expensive competitor close by, I am sickened to this day that my mother was not at Brookdale on Country Club. The staff is CONSISTENT. They know the residents. They genuinely CARE about their well-being. The nursing staff is OBSERVANT and alerted me to something I wouldn’t have caught. The environment is SAFE and CLEAN. My loved one is WELL-CARED for in every way. When I moved her in, I told the staff, I will have a melt down at some point in regards to my loved one as I am VERY aware of my responsibility to make sure she is SAFE, WELL-CARED FOR, CONTENT, and HAPPY. She is all of these and more! My kudos to the CONSISTENT staff as I have not had a complaint in her 14 months there. It is SUPERIOR!
