Brookdale Fort Myers The Colony

A Secure Setting
Safety, of course, comes first. Built specifically for residents living with dementia, our community has a security system, keypad entrances, monitored exits and enclosed walking areas. This helps our residents enjoy a sense of independence as we strive to help them safely explore their surroundings, including the outdoor gardening area and courtyard. You’ll also have peace of mind knowing there is trained staff on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to be alerted to an emergency.

A Warm and Welcoming Atmosphere
Memory care residents thrive in a comforting and familiar environment, so our community features cozy spaces to re-create the kind of home life they’ve always enjoyed. Our easy-to-navigate floor plans and extra details, such as soothing wall colors, provide all the comforts of home, so residents feel safe and not overwhelmed. Our private apartments have large windows with plenty of natural light and private bathrooms, too. And we help families make our residents’ apartments familiar and comfortable with suggestions for what to bring on move-in day.

Consistent Care Assignments
We don’t just hire great people; we invest in quality training and education to help keep our staff up-to-date on the latest dementia care techniques. In addition to our programming, we provide practical help, like managing medications, helping with daily tasks like dressing, and even assisting with dining. Through it all, we focus on the individual, uplifting each of our residents, and helping them live their best senior living life. We also strive to provide the same care partners to your loved one on a regular basis to promote familiarity and relationship-rich care.

Enriching Activities
The Clare Bridge Daily Path is an evidence-based practice that offers a gentle daily structure of six planned programs per day. This routine helps our residents maintain their abilities and provides a sense of security and accomplishment. Residents work in small cluster groups, surrounded by others with the same cognitive abilities to give them a feeling of fitting in. And our Clare Bridge environments feature areas of the community set up for safe engagement in household tasks like gardening, kitchen work, and handyman work.
