4.3 · 357 reviewsI am new to the facility but have experienced two life threatening emergencies which were handled quickly, accurately and with compassion. The folks here both know what they are doing and care! Amazing.
Toured assisted living and was pleasantly surprised. Heard good things but went better than hoped. Christina was a wealth of information and resources. This can happen pretty seamlessly. The care team I met were attentive and kind. Pleasantly surprised how nice the studio apartment is. Pricing is comparable to what I’ve researched but much more clinical advantages and options for people to stay entertained. We will Be making Southport our new home.
My Mother spent over a month at South Port Square in rehab then to Hospice. Kaylee, Rose, Kevin and many other Nurses and Aids were outstanding. My Mother was treated with dignity and their staff is amazing. She had been to two other rehabilitation centers in the last year and there is no comparison. She passed April 24th and they made a difficult transition best possible. Thank you. Chuck Smallman

The staff and Team at South Port Square in Port Charlotte are absolutely amazing! They represented the community well and answered all of our questions during a recent tour. The community is amazing! So clean, updated and so welcoming! There is so much to see and do. It is a true "destination" and the perfect senior-focused community for your loved one in SWFL. Highly recommended!
Just visited with Kenan Fleck in sales. She was exceptionally helpful explaining all of my options if I decide to live there in the future. She is knowledgeable and engaging and just a pleasure to converse with. If you have questions, she's your girl!
Everyone was very pleasant and helpful while I was visiting my friend.
The facility appears to be well maintained, I have some concerns regarding the care but it’s only the 2nd day so I will give it the benefit of the doubt and comment later.
People at desk are great and the check in is even easy enough for me.
