I went to Calusa Harbour. That was nice, they've been there a long time, so it was an older setup. The guide was nice. The activities sounded great. They had cards and exercise, but the rooms were a little bit too small for me. The layout was very nice. It was convenient. It was beautiful, right on the river with boats and stuff, that was very nice.

They are always short staffed. They do not accept ownership for errors or failings. The elevator situation is appalling and the coo and food service is poor. Leadership are dishonest and do not follow through. Building falling apart. The rooms are nice in appearance but many things are old and do not work.

Calusa Harbour was fantastic. It's an older facility, but they offer a lot. They have a library, a cafe, and a dining room. Everything overlooks the water. They had different room sizes, a beauty shop, a general store, fishing activities, a pool, a movie room, and laundry rooms. It was our first choice for my mom and dad because it was a good fit for them. The building has a lot of heart. It's very homey that you overlooked the age of the building. It's very, very beautiful.

My father-in-law was at Calusa Harbour for two-and-a-half years. It was a big building, and there was a lot of residents. Prior to Covid, they had a lot of different activities and stuff going on. It was very reasonably priced. Prior to Covid, the food was pretty decent. Things changed a lot with Covid. You really can't necessarily fault them. The staff was great. You could tell it was a little bit older building, but it was still nice. Everything was clean and well kept. The elevator was an issue because it was such a big building. It was 20 floors, so a lot of times waiting for an elevator could be slow. Otherwise, it was kept in good condition.
The only complaint my father-in-law had was that they had the same entertainers over and over again. After a while, he kind of got bored with them. He got frustrated, and he laughed because nothing was going on and nothing was happening. I said because it's Covid. Nothing's happening anywhere. I know it was very tough for them, but it seemed like they were accommodating. They took them places. They did things with them pre-Covid. It was definitely worth the money.

I've visited Calusa Harbour Fort Myers, it's very beautiful. When I walked in, it was decorated beautifully for Halloween. I took a tour of the building; everything was perfect. I had lunch at the diner there and it's excellent. I met a few people that were very, very nice. One lady sat with me at lunch and told me all about the place; she was there for 11 years. We're very, very pleased. The staff was very, very nice, very courteous and I enjoyed it. The place was very, very clean, the amenities were nice and they have lots of activities also.

My friend lives in a two-bedroom, two-bath at Calusa Harbour. It's actually quite nice. I've visited there many times and eat dinner with her. Of course they're having the same kind of visitation problems that everybody's having with the facility for seniors. It's a very nice place. The rooms are very spacious and very well kept. They take good care of her. She's in independent living. The staff that I've been in touch with are really friendly and very nice. There's a lot going on there when people are able to get together.

I moved into Calusa Harbour. It's very clean, it's 20 stories, and everything is included in the price. The staff is very professional. They have different sizes of rooms, they have three dining areas, and the food is very good. They have a main dining room, and a bar area with sandwiches. There's a lot of stuff going on, but I'm not interested. The atmosphere is very casual, and everybody is very polite.

My brother liked the Calusa Harbour the best. The rooms were spacious and it had a view of the pool. They had card games and surfboard activities. I like that it's located right on the river. The dining room is right on the water. They have a coffee bar and several rooms for entertainment. The rooms were very well maintained and clean. I met two people and they were very nice. They have some rooms you can rent for a month, which are furnished, and you can try that out before signing on.

The staff at Calusa Harbour is wonderful. The food right now is average, but they're going on overhaul. They plan to open a new dining room with menus for lobster and steak. I can eat any time I want, all day long. There's a huge food selection. They have all the amenities. I have a one bedroom with a kitchen, living room, and 2 bathrooms. The community is on the water. I'm on the 15th floor and it's absolutely beautiful. It's a tower building and all the dining rooms face the water, it's a gorgeous view. They have constant bus service and they take them to the VA.

Calusa Harbour offered to let me stay for a weekend at no charge to see if I would like it, which I thought was extremely unusual. I very much liked the people that I met there. I actually made a couple of friends at that time whose names I still remember. That's how much they impressed me. They had a happy hour and social for ice cream, and they had an exercise program. It was a lovely place, and it was on the water. They had a screened in pool. I found one fault, and that it had 2 elevators for 30 floors. Other than that, it would have been number 1. The food was fabulous. It was better than any place I had been. Their chef was number 1. They even had peanut butter ice cream. They would take you out for shopping. They had activities around town that they also scheduled if you wanted to go to. They had bingo and church.

Calusa Harbour is not as spacious and nice. The staff was nice, but they're not as pleasant as where I am, and the rooms are smaller. I didn't like anything about it.

I used to live at Calusa Harbour, which is really across the street from where I live now. I enjoyed it, but it got too expensive. I really liked living there, but the rates went up, and I?m on a fixed income, so it isn?t really what I can afford. It?s absolutely a good place to live. I was happy there, except for the expense. The staff people were very gracious. The food was great.

We’re living in Calusa Harbour now. It is excellent. We couldn’t have asked for anything better. I’m impressed with the people, how friendly they are and the service they have here. The services are outstanding. The meals are outstanding. It is a 5-rated community. They have assisted living and skilled nursing here. We have a 1-bedroom, and right outside our door is an exercise room and a laundry room. We have everything very convenient. They have something for you to do here every minute if you could do it all. The amenities are fantastic. They even have fishing once a month for anyone who likes to go out and fish, and they give you the poles and the bait.

A friend of my mother's went into Calusa Harbour for rehab, and they recommended it. They have independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing care all in the same facility. My mother is currently in independent, but we have her on the assisted living list because she is right at that cusp. Their staff is very good, very responsive, and helpful. She enjoys the facility. It's excellent, large, modern, and very homey -- absolutely non-institutional.

Calusa Harbour is very clean and overlooks the harbour (or river). The apartments are more than adequate, and we will be staying in a one bedroom with a nice sized living and dining area, a small kitchen, and plenty of closets. Once a week you get maid service, all maintenance is free, all the utilities are in a fee to include electricity. They provide cable, three meals a day, and you have a choice when to eat. We tried some food and it was fabulous. The patients seem to be very happy. They have a lot of activities appropriate for someone like me. They actually have art classes taught by an artist, they have cooking classes, and quilting. They take you out several times a week to places for dinner dates, shows, or plays.

Our visit at Calusa was lovely; they answered all our questions. We saw some nice rooms and they’re going to care for an under aged child that I’ve raised all my life because she is very handicapped. we couldn't have been more pleased. The people were interacting with each other so much that we thought we were at camp. The staff is excellent and the patients were doing their activities. making jokes, and making friends with the staff, I was just really surprised. It was like a community not a home.

We are in the process of moving my dad to Calusa Harbour. The rooms have a brighter feeling because they have windows. They have the restaurant-style dining, and you are able to order off the menu. At this point, it looks very nice and very clean. Everybody is very friendly.

The guy gave me an excellent tour at Calusa Harbour. He was very professional and welcoming. I saw a studio and a one-bedroom apartment. I enjoyed their food, and I ate with the residents, which was a good opportunity for me. They have water aerobics, and they have a pool in the facility. However, I think the facility is a high-rise and somewhat crowded, like in the elevator.

My brother has moved in to Calusa Harbor. Everyone is very helpful in this community. The facility is very nice and clean. Their rooms are very roomy. There is plenty of space in each room. The food is very good. They have a beauty shop and a barber shop. They have happy hour. They also have guest speakers and a lot of other activities for the residents. We picked this facility because of its location. It has a nice view and a nice setting.

I've visited Calusa Harbour a couple of times, and it's a lovely facility, but it's on the waterfront, and it's 20 stories high. They have one elevator, so that is not very conducive for walkers, canes, and wheelchairs. The staff has been very wonderful. The only problem I have is the parking area and the elevator.

Calusa Harbour was a high-rise building, and it was a very nice place. It was a beautiful place because if you looked out the window, you would see a big water there, since there were rivers in the area. The rooms were not as big as the other facility I visited. It was like a regular house with everything in it like bedroom, kitchen, etc. There were rooms downstairs around the building that faced the water. You sat where you liked and enjoyed yourself. We tried the food, and it was good. Most people were glad that they were there. My only comment was they had a large group of residents in the assisted living area, and I was not sure I preferred that. Nonetheless, I would still recommend this facility to others.

The view was nice at Calusa Harbor. We only met one lady. She was very nice, very helpful, and she was willing to show us what they had to offer. But the apartment that they showed us was small and there was no kitchen. That was not what we were looking for, because we're still pretty active and can still move around. Also, the elevators were very, very slow for a large building. It was dinner time when we happened to be there. The elevator was very crowded and slow in getting down everybody for dinner.

Outside, Calusa Harbour was pretty. However, the apartments were tiny. When you went down the hall, you could see the plumbing exposed on the ceiling just like in an old building. There were no balconies so people were confined inside the apartment. It was like being in an old hotel. Though the staff was nice and they had activities, we weren't impressed with them. They had to improve their building and put balconies on their rooms.

The major plus is it's location on the river. It is an older facility but undergoing upgrades/renovations. We are in our early 70's and the population there seemed much older. I did not like the very limited kitchen facilites in the apartment. The staff were very informative and helpful.

My sister passed away in May but we were able to visit Calusa Harbour. It was a very nice facility. The people were very friendly. The person that we talked to was very, very nice. We did get to see the rooms and the smallest one was really small. If my sister had a little more money, she would have loved living in this facility. They should work more on accommodating people who are on extremely limited income.

We like Calusa Harbor. I think that is going to be our choice. It has beautiful view of the river. It's downtown and walking distance to restaurants and other places. That's a real plus for us because we enjoy walking. The one we chose is the 1-bedroom because the studio was a little small. We had lunch there, and the food was good. They seem to have a lot of things going on. They also have vans to take you to different events around town, to the grocery store, or to doctors' appointments. However, it's really expensive because of the location, and they have a waiting list.
