Volante of Fort Myers

The staff in the memory care unit are exemplary. They care, really care. The director of the unit goes above and beyond. I highly recommend Volante.

Review for Volante of Fort Myers

They have been very helpful with getting Bobby comfortable with the facility. We like this facility very much. The activities are ok but could be better. This is probably their weakest point.

Exceeds expectations.

The whole experience was very pleasant. The staff was very attentive and very friendly. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable. Love the meals and snacks. The kitchen was a welcome surprise! Definitely a home away from home!

Not what it seems

This facility looks great, the staff are very nice. After my grandma was there for 2 months she lost so much weight, I could never get calls back from the nursing staff to answer my concerns. I live out of state and don’t have the ability to visit all the time, but the next opportunity I got did not go well. The staff hardly spoke English or knew who she was, I was escorted around looking for someone who could answer my questions only to end up with no answers. I am not very happy with this facility at all, my advice to all is don’t be fooled by the welcome parade. It seems this place manages itself.

Peace of mind

They've had a lot of turnover, but I think that's the norm these days post- pandemic. But the staff is always nice & accommodating. I would definitely recommend Bayside Senior Living to others! The property has worked out very well for us.

Our Experience

Quality of care is tricky. Some of the home health aids are not that great, but you might find that in every facility. However, the nursing and PT has been great. There could be more and better activities. The Value for Cost is great. In comparing costs, you are getting a pretty decent place that is affordable.

Memory care not full service

My dad was in the memory care area for about one week. It is not equipped to care for later stages of dementia or challenging behaviors that are common for dementia patients. His room also had a broken toilet that wasn’t fixed.

Overall pleased

We came at a bad time during the transition to Bayside. But even though, follow up from administration staff is a challenge. The staff that I see working throughout the facility are great and knows what's going on. I only say this because getting the names of the physicians that come to this facility to set mom up with a new primary doctor, never happened. I found the group though and picked a very nice Nurse Practitioner who visits her.

A GREAT PLACE FOR VETERANS

THANK YOU TO [name removed] AND MS [name removed] FOR MAKING BAYSIDE A PLACE THAT "FEELS LIKE HOME." MY CLIENT IS VERY HAPPY AND LOVES HIS "HAPPY PLACE." The client was very concerned about finding a new home after selling his home. The staff made him feel at ease by taking the time to understand his needs.

a nice community but needs improvements

The staff that are currently working there are great, but they are going through a big turnover right now so a lot of the staff we got to know has now come and gone. They just brought on a new chef so the meals are getting better and the overall value is starting to improve.

Highly recommend

What really stuck out to us about Wickshire Ft. Meyers was the value for the money and the overall newness and cleanliness of the facility itself. The room sizes here are really nice and spacious. The staff do laundry once a week for the residents, they have been great. It has been a good experience so far and we would recommend them to others.

My review of Wickshire

This community is pretty good and I am happy with the way that she is treated and taken care of at this community. The staff are all helpful and willing to hear what you have to say and act on it to correct anything for your loved one. They have activities like theater, bingo, church services, live music and singers. They also have activities like walking and working out for the residents and more to keep them busy in the community.

My tour review

This community was very nice the only problem I had is that my loved one did not want to move here and wanted to stay in the state that she was in. Other than that I would for sure have considered this community for my loved one.

Wickshire A Good Place for Your Loved One

I would recommend Wickshire Ft. Myers to others for their loved ones. The staff is very nice and [Name removed], is available if the family has questions or concerns. They are good about responding to questions or concerns via text or phone calls. Walking, outside seating area, helping with projects in the community and more are some of the activities for the residents to choose from. The food is good and there is a variety of selections. If a residents wants to eat at a different time or misses a meal the community will make sure the resident gets a chance to eat.

A nice community great staff

The Wickshire Ft. Myers community is very bright, cheery, friendly and clean. We think their apartments are super nice and very appropriate. Even though our loved one says the meals are a hit or a miss we do think they do a good job with the meals and dining service. The value for the money is very good.

we chose Wickshire because they had more to offer than the other communities we viewed. they have a doctor and nurse(s) that come in twice a week to attend to the residents. although my dad has only spent a short amount of time here, he did have an enjoyable experience.
