Great experience so far

I recently moved my mother to Calusa Harbor in an attempt to better manage her finances. The move not only better fit our budget but I’ve been pleased with both the facility and the friendly personnel. The food is very good and the lanai over looking the river is fabulous. She has settled in very well. Thanks to A Place For Mom for the recommendation!

Not a good fit for memory care

It's a place more for people who don't have the energy to take care of a normal home. The staff (nursing,CNA's) were fabulous. If someone is thinking about putting their family member there that has memory issues, it's not the place for them. They ignore their mental needs. They don't lock the doors at night. The Director of Nursing doesn't communicate well at all. We moved our mom to Canterfield and it is so much better!

Life at Calusa Harbor

Life at at Calusa Harbor can only be described as relaxed living. The people here are friendly and the views are beautiful if you like living on the water. Downtown is within walking distance and it’s got quaint shops and eateries. I’m loving my life in independent living here at the Calusa Harbor. And don’t let me forget about the dinning. It’s wonderful my husband and I haven’t had to buy groceries since we moved in two months ago.

Top notch

Everyone at calusa harbor has been fantastic!! Mom has been there for 1 mth now and can't say enough good things about it. My mother is legally blind and a high fall risk , to ease my mind they offered a fall pendant( for a small fee), which came in handy a few days ago. I was notified right away by the staff at calusa harbor that she had fallen and was ok, but taken to the ER. Mom is fine, her pride is hurt the most. Every time I walk through the door the residents are happy and all say hello! The food is pretty good, some things better than others (per mom) her only complaint is the food is Luke warm at best. But, per Mom, everyone there complains that the food could be hotter. Mom said this is the best decision she has ever made and is the happiest she has been on a long time!! 4.9 stars

Quality Care in a Beautiful Setting

Beautiful setting on the Caloosahatchee River in downtown Fort Myers. Lots of fun activities at the facility every day, including live music. Caring staff. Easy to communicate with administration and medical & therapy team about concerns with my mom.

Review for Calusa Harbour

My sister in law went to Calusa to go to assisted living. The staff is caring and attentive. Thankfully, she progressed enough that she moved to the independent living side of the faculty! She loves it there and has made good, caring friends. It's been so great seeing her social and interacting with so many people after her being alone in an apartment for 2 years. We toured 10 facilities in 2.5 days to find one well suited for her and one that was within her budget. We are so happy with our decision to choose CH. The added bonus are the amazing views of the River!

Calusa Harbour

The price is very good. There's plenty to do to get involved in . They provide transportation to doctors and shopping . The food is outstanding. And all the help seems to know my name. If you have an issue with your room it is taken care of in a reasonable time . Couldn't be more happy with my choice .

Calusa Harbour review

Be careful with the medication management by the facility. They were incompetent and my Dad ran out of his medication. They deemed him in capable so they could charge an extra $[removed] a month but he was the one that had to inform them of running out of his meds and tell them when he needed them. Once your family member is put on any type of level one or level two care is extremely difficult to get them move down once they make improvements. Calusa does not want to give up that extra fee. My father, who basically ate fast food and junk food, his whole life complained that the food was terrible and usually serve cold.

Wonderful Facility

So many activities for all to enjoy. Food is great and is like eating at a restaurant. Daily menu to order from everyday. Facility is very clean and organized and has the best view with a waterfront view when on the terrace.

Excellent! Mom is happier than she has been in years!

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.

Calusa Harbour - A Great Place

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!

Review for Calusa Harbour

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.

Couldn’t be happier.

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!

Calusa assist care

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.

Wonderful place for someone you love

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!
