My mother has been a resident in Memory Care at The Gallery at Cape Coral, formerly The Waters,…read moresince Jan 2023. Frankly, I can't say enough about how wonderful this place is. My family and I are here very nearly every day, at all different times, so we see all different shifts, departments and activities. The nursing staff and care givers are AMAZING; warm, competent, PATIENT, professional, fun, engaging and very loving to the residents. From the drivers, to the therapists, activities, facilities team, front desk staff, housekeeping, sales & marketing...they all have a moment for a quick word, a hug, a laugh, a warm smile. The staff operates as a team, focusing on each individual resident and their life enrichment. Of course, at times issues occur. They are dealt with quickly and any necessary changes made with little drama. I have witnessed the Director of Nursing giving clear and direct correction to the team - and yet still with a respectful, compassionate and team/resident focused attitude. While safety is paramount, unfortunately there are occasional accidents / falls. They clearly have tight policies in place, and the staff react IMMEDIATELY; often running to help, quickly assessing the situation, calling for appropriate nursing assistance, and securing EMT'S if necessary. They also manage the other residents keeping them supervised and calm, while handling the emergency. There was a fall recently, and the med tech reacted to the unusual loud SOUND, before even the resident called out. He and another CNA stayed with the resident, the Director of Nursing was there within 2 minutes, and the EMT's were on scene within about 6 minutes. The reception team always have a kind word to say and a warm welcome. My brother, who lives out of state, visited in Nov. He was warmly greeted by Leon, who remembered him even though his last visit was in February. Leon is also regularly found playing chess with a resident, while he is watching the door, working the phones, etc. When you walk past the front desk and find the Director of Nursing covering the desk because the receptionist requested to attend the funeral of a resident that speaks volumes about the team environment and resident/family focus of this facility. The facility itself is lovely, and they truly use the entire place. They have everything available to the residents, and although mom is on the Memory Care side, we often share in the Assisted Living events, meals, bus trips, etc. They are truly inclusive and make accommodations for all the residents to enjoy and live their best life. The activities are a major focus for us, and this is very key to Mom's happiness. There are loads of things scheduled all day long and they do their best to keep the residents engaged both mentally & physically, with ability-appropriate activities, or just inclusion for those unable to participate. Stimulating music, sing a longs, dancing, bingo, arts & crafts, decorating, garden club, nail care/manicures, pet therapy, bowling, axe-throwing (a BIG favorite), movies and so many more keep the residents engaged and active. When my mom sees the activities director and walks away from me to hug HER it warms my heart. Additionally, Jodi goes and gets Mom and the residents she knows want to participate, plus encouraging the others to come today to check it out. Inclusive, fun, joyful, and engaging. As well as summer picnics, dinner dances, bus rides, lunch outings, the facility also has special events planned around the holidays. These always include getting the residents dressed up and groomed just a bit more special...whether the families are there or not. They go to great lengths to make this 'home' for each person. They check on mom two to three times each night, often two CNA's together, changing her if she needs it and making sure she is comfortable and resting well. The dining room is lovely and set up well, the food excellent, and they serve as if you are at your favorite restaurant. And while memory care needs special considerations in their dining room and isn't as 'fancy' it is still wonderful and completely appropriate for the clientele. The residents are given appropriate choices, and yet their preferences are noted, so if they are unable to answer they are still served as if they did. IF someone has trouble eating, the staff will feed them, gently and with kindness. And if someone is perhaps ill or just needs a little special treatment, a different meal, Burger, BLT, grilled cheese, is provided. We researched quite a few places before deciding on placement. Mom has thrived under the care provided here, as have so many of the residents, and I am grateful I found this place at this time in her life.

Her room was so dirty, it looked as if no one ever really cleaned the floors under her bed, or anywhere in the room. They blamed it on her never wanting to leave the room. The staff was downright nasty one day when we were waiting to be buzzed in and my granddaughter tried to open the door (by accident - she's three) and the alarm went off and the attendee was extremely nasty and rude about us "grabbing the handle". When my mom first got there they did field trips, some painting/coloring activities and other things she enjoyed and would participate. After they had a change in personnel all I would see is the people just parked and watching tv. You can tell by their FB posts that they hardly do anything. Management is HORRIBLE about returning calls and honestly it seems like they do not care about the residents at all - just the money. So sad!!!

He has been very happy with The Palms, most especially with the way they are dealing with the Corona Virus Pandemic. The administration and the entire staff have been proactive and exceptional. They explain everything clearly to their elderly population. They reassure their residents regularly. Fears and worries are allayed in an ongoing manner. The staff checks on each resident and makes sure everyone is in good health daily with temperature checks and health questions. Instead of dining room service, there is room/apartment service three times a day to keep people safe. Social distancing is monitored while giving all residents freedom throughout the facility and as well as the grounds. Though residents cannot take The Palms bus at this time to see to their personal shopping needs, the amazing staff is doing the shopping for their vulnerable residents. There are no visitors allowed at the current time in order to keep people safe. I speak with my Dad several times daily and feel confident that he is safe. A HUGE THANK YOU to the entire administration and staff at The Palms on Winkler in Fort Myers for keeping my Dad safe, healthy, and happy and for keeping his family worry free. Sincerely, Barbara Z.
