For example, a resident who had spilled ice cream all over the front of his shirt in the main room was left in that shirt for at least two hours. If they thought his family was coming to visit I'm sure they would have changed his shirt before they arrived. It is an uncaring place degrading place. My friend has tried many times to reach out to staff with no response. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

I was pleased with how she was treated. I was particularly impressed with dealing with the social worker office who advised me of her insurance coverage. She received quality care during her 20 day visit. Dining for the guests is very nice. Many residents eat in their room but my friend chose to eat in the Bistro dining room. She made friends quickly and on severely occasions I had lunch or dinner myself there and was required as a guest to pay nominal fee but the servers told they couldn't accept a gratuity. The staff was always pleasant and patient with the guests.

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.
