My mom moved into this community last week, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. From day one, every single employee has gone out of their way to make sure she has everything she needs. From the administration team to housekeeping, everyone has been incredibly kind, welcoming and attentive. The residents have also been wonderful. So many people have stopped to introduce themselves, say hello, and make my mom feel genuinely welcome. It’s clear that this is a warm and caring community. We are incredibly grateful to know our mom is surrounded by such caring people, and we have complete confidence that she is in the best hands. Thanks for making this transition such a positive experience!
My Mom JoAnn just loved this place. It is like living in a resort. The staff is so friendly and they do a great job keeping the place clean. Mom raved about the food and food service being exceptional. No reason to look anywhere else in Fort Myers.
My mother lives at The Summit. The staff is always very welcoming when I come to visit. Especially, Beth, Roy and Ricky. They have a very entertaining Friday night happy hour with dancing and a singer. They provide classes daily which Mother attends. I even join in on water aerobics. It's a quiet comfortable place with very friendly people!

The Summit provides all kinds of activities and support for its Residents. We recently moved from out of state and are pleased we found The Summit!
I love it and happy to be here!
My wife and I recently moved both our moms from Palm Beach County into The Summit of Fort Myers so they could be closer to us. We provided several living options to both moms who both ultimately decided on The Summit. For anyone searching for a great independent living facility in Fort Myers, this is where you want to be. The staff is incredibly friendly & patient, the apartments are large, and the dining room chef is exquisite. Special acknowledgement to staff members Anita, Adam, Manny, Janet & Diane. Thank you!!
Everybody has been so friendly and the food is great!
Tammy and Adam always go out of their way to assure Julie and I have everything convenience we need. All is Perfect!🦒🐅🥳
