Calusa Harbor is a one of a kind very special place! My father lived there for over 5 years. They nicknamed him Uncle Phil! He was treated with dignity and respect. They have a great staff. When my dad needed more care at 95 they were very compassionate and didn’t rush us out. I highly recommend Calusa Harbor because they care about everyone who lives there and treat everyone well!

We had an exceptional experience touring Calusa Harbour. The sales team truly listened to what my aunt was looking for and tailored the entire visit around her needs and preferences. It didn’t feel like a standard tour; it felt personal, thoughtful, and intentional. They delivered exactly what mattered most to her, which made all the difference. Thank you Olga and team !!

My husband and I toured Calusa Harbour to see what our options might be when and if we need assisted living. I couldn’t believe it! I have looked at other establishments for my Mom and was pleasantly surprised that we might be able to live in a community that is in a beautiful setting, common areas that are welcoming and comfortable, offer several floor plan options, have caring and supportive staff to look after our needs, and meals that are actually delicious! All of these things are provided within an extremely reasonable price range. Thank you Liz for showcasing Calusa Harbour. We see no…

We moved my father in law I to Calusa Harbor in March 2025. We met with Olga who did an excellent job explaining everything that goes on and activities to get involved in. As soon as he moved in he was befriended by everyone. Not only was he befriended but he also found a new love that he is spending the rest of his life with. He has companionship and is so happy after a bit of a struggle convincing him that it is a great place. It’s all inclusive and has everything he needs. He is extremely happy and was the best move for him after a long time of trying to help him understand all the benefits of being there. He wish he had done it sooner!

My parents are currently residents here and it truly feels like home. The staff, all of the staff, is incredibly kind and patient, especially, Liz. I’m in Michigan and I feel so much at peace having my parents living in this beautiful sanctuary! It smells good, the food is amazing and it feels like a 5 star resort. Worth every penny!

Calusa Harbor is a beautiful facility on a scenic river and a few blocks from beautiful downtown Ft Myers. The staff is very caring and treat you like family and go above and beyond. They have comprehensive list of amenities including a fitness studio and swimming pool. The food is excellent.
