Cypress Cove is slightly older, maybe like 10 or 15 years old, but it was very nice and very clean. The people there seemed friendly and the residents all seemed kind of happy. I had an arranged appointment to see the place, but when I went there they didn't know who I was and I had to wait for 40 minutes before I could talk to anybody. It just seemed kind of disorganized, maybe because they're busy with their residents, but I didn't get a very good vibe there. I took a tour of the first floor, they showed me the dining room, and there was a little recreation area, like a hangout kind of place. It all seems nice and clean, and the people were having a good time.

The Inn of Cypress Cove is totally different than other places because there is a large entry fee, but it's one of the best ones that I've visited. The food and everything was excellent, but it's very expensive. You have to have a really high net worth to be accepted at Health Park. I visited a couple of two-bedrooms, and I thought they were very spacious. They will do your laundry and some housekeeping. This is the one place that impressed me the most. If I was going to go into an assisted living community, this would definitely be on top of my list.

My parents visited Cypress Cove, and they liked it. I think it's a high-end facility. It's very expensive, but it appealed to my parents. The rooms were very nice, spacious, but expensive. The staff is very good. I think they impressed my parents with how they take care of the people. They have a pool, daily activities, and they provide transportation, and it's on a lake.

Beware! My grandmother was a resident of this facility for just a few short months, and I was not pleased. Each time I visited there was never anyone at the front desk. The first time I went I had to ask the nurse to direct me - which she kindly did. Oddly, there were 2 coffee containers by the front doors, but I never once saw cups for visitor use. For the amount of money, the rooms were not very attractive. Granted, they were private and the family was allowed to bring in personal items, but the overall appearance was dull and tired. In hopes of cheering my grandmother, I brought in a picture she gave me from her living room years ago. It was a copy of Renoir's "Girl with a Watering Can." I hung the framed print on her wall. She passed recently while I was out of the country. My mother, in her distress over losing her own mother, forgot to retrieve the picture. We called the facility as soon as I returned (1 week later) to ask about it. We were told that any items left are considered unwanted and gotten rid of. I was devastated! Monetary value aside, it was the sentimental that I lost. My mother spoke to the head and requested that they initiate a policy of keeping belongings for a short period of time in case of a situation, or at the very least call and ask the family. The head replied that this has happened before, so they "probably will." What did they do with this precious painting that had my grandmother's name on the back? Did they throw it away? Did housekeeping keep it for themselves? I will never know. We also experienced a few other concerns with care (my mother is a cardiac nurse and she knows her stuff) that were unsatisfactory. In addition, unless you ask about dietary information, they will not share some important information - like you can ask for items not on each day's list of options. Thank you to the dietician who assisted us with this. When I was in college, I worked as a receptionist in a long-term care facility in Ohio. That was a place of dignity. Cypress Cove, the Lodge, does not live up to my expectations of care.

This place is really elegant. No other place can be compared to this. It's not expensive but not cheap, if you are saving for your retirement. This place sits in acres and acres of land with lots of walking path. There are fountains everywhere and an indoor pool, too. It has its own establishments inside for your personal needs. This retirement community is next to Health Park Hospital, which is an elegant hospital. It has a separate building for assisted living and rehab. Moreover, there's a separate restaurant that you don't need to clear out by 5:30, and you can stay until 6:30 or 7:00. The food is just out of this world. They prepare 4 soups daily and make their own ice cream. There are various different accommodations here and all are lovely. Some units have 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. There's also a villa or a house if you opt for this kind of housing. All accommodations have dryers and washers, too. You can't imagine what it doesn't have. To close, the staff is just fantastic. They have quite a bit of extra-curricular activities. There's an activity director who plans everything. Examples of activities include: visitors coming in to sing and play music, games like bingo for those who are able and willing to do it, arts and crafts, baking day and even tours to shopping malls and restaurants. I can't think of anything my husband will be happier. He gets lots of attention and really seemed to like the staff. I will surely recommend this place to others.

My aunt was a resident at the Inn at Cypress Cove for a number of years and was very happy there. If you are looking for a high-quality assisted living facility in southwest Florida, you cannot go wrong with the Inn at Cypress Cove. In addition to a variety of independent living options and a skilled nursing facility at the Lodge, Cypress Cove offers an absolutely wonderful assisted living facility at the Inn. The grounds and the facility itself are gorgeous and immaculately maintained. The staff was always very pleasant, friendly, and helpful. When her health deteriorated and she transitioned to the Lodge, she was still readily available for visits with her friends from the Inn. Although she had been initially reluctant to move into the Inn, neither she nor any family members ever regretted the decision. I understand that decisions regarding care for elderly family members can be very sensitive and emotionally trying, but facilities such as the Inn at Cypress Cove make these types of decisions much easier for everyone involved. If you are wrestling with these issues, I highly recommend a visit to the Inn so you can decide whether this is the place that meets your needs or the needs of your family member.

My aunt was a resident at The Inn of Cypress Cove at Health Park and I visited her there often. Her unit was lovely and quite luxurious. The staff was always very helpful and eager to please. My aunt loved to eat and she often raved about the quality of the food. Although she usually ate in the dining room, she did sometimes prepare snacks or breakfast in her unit, taking advantage of the mini-refrigerator in her unit. If she was feeling under the weather and preferred not to eat in the dining room, room service was delivered to her unit with her menu selections. All of the grounds and the buildings at Cypress Cove are meticulously maintained and very attractive. The facility is located in an area that is basically adjacent to the Lee Memorial Health Park hospital and could not be more convenient in terms of nearby doctors' offices of all types. If you are looking for an assisted living facility in Fort Myers, Florida, you should definitely visit The Inn of Cypress Cove. I doubt that you will be disappointed in what you find available there.
