10 Best Nursing Homes in Fort Myers, FL

Answer a few questions to get personalized results
Who are you searching for?

Senior care facilities in Fort Myers offer a blend of Floridian tranquility, specialty care, and a vibrant, reassuring sense of community. Here, residents can make friends among palm tree-lined boulevards, visit the beaches of the Gulf Coast with loved ones, and enjoy cultural activities in a safe environment.

Seniors or their loved ones searching for a nursing home nearby may be looking for a skilled nursing facility, an assisted living community, or a memory care facility. Those are all senior care options, but they all have different offerings. A nursing home offers constant medical care and skilled nursing for residents with serious ailments. An assisted living facility provides supervision and help with daily activities, like bathing or getting dressed, while a memory care facility does all of that plus provides specialized care for seniors with cognitive difficulties.

A Place for Mom doesn’t partner with nursing homes, but we do have 22 partner assisted living and memory care options within a 10-mile radius of the Fort Myers downtown area. In this guide, you will find information about costs, advice about how to pay for senior care, relevant local laws and regulations, local transportation tips, health care information, and more about Fort Myers.

Costs of nursing homes in the Fort Myers area

The median monthly cost of a private room in a Fort Myers nursing home is $10,053 and $9,186 for a semi-private room.[01] That’s more than twice as much as the monthly average residents of our partner assisted living and memory care facilities pay. According to A Place for Mom’s proprietary data, seniors pay $4,314 a month for assisted living and $4,545 a month for memory care.[01] These figures show an average total cost that includes additional fees and service add-ons as well.

There will be a difference in services between these senior care categories. For example, a nursing home offers 24-hour medical care for those who need a high level of skilled nursing care. An assisted living facility provides personal care and helps with daily activities, such as getting dressed, mobility, and using the bathroom. A memory care facility does all of that, as well as has staff specially trained in caring for seniors with dementia or Alzheimer’s and a secure place for them to live.

How people pay for a nursing home in Fort Myers

If you’re thinking about a nursing home, memory care facility, or assisted living community, affordability may well be top of mind. Most residents combine financial methods to cover the costs of care and services. In this guide to paying for care, you will find details about private payment, benefits for veterans, Medicare, and Medicaid.

Private pay methods

Paying privately for a nursing home, assisted living facility, or memory care means using income sources such as savings, pensions, Social Security benefits, and investment returns. It could also mean using any of the following:

VA benefits
5042

Number of veterans who live in Fort Myers

About 45% of Fort Myers veterans are 75+

With thousands of senior veterans living in and around Fort Myers, there are many organizations and offices dedicated to the task of assisting veterans.

Veterans in Fort Myers may want to consider applying for the VA’s Aid and Attendance benefit, alongside the VA Pension. Aid and Attendance is a helpful monthly amount that is added to your Pension. Eligible vets require help for daily tasks, have limited eyesight, stay in bed for a large portion of the day, or live in a nursing facility. Proof of eligibility, such as details about which tasks you regularly require help with or an explanatory note from your doctor, may be necessary.

The Florida Department of Veterans Affairs and the Lee County Veteran Assistance Program are great resources to seek out when needing help with VA benefits and eligibility. Local veterans services officers and veterans services organizations (VSOs), such as Jewish War Veterans and Disabled American Veterans can also help you navigate this complex process.

Medicaid

Florida Medicaid is administered in Fort Myers by the state’s Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA). Benefits are delivered through AHCA’s Statewide Medicaid Managed Care. You can access a comprehensive guide to applying at the AHCA website.

Medicaid is designed for low-income seniors and those with disabilities. It does not cover rent, board, or any other custodial elements of senior living at memory care or assisted living facilities. However, it does cover the cost of a nursing home if a doctor has prescribed it as medically necessary for the resident. The nursing home must also accept Medicaid payments.

For seniors living in any kind of senior care facility, Medicaid’s home and community based service (HCBS) waivers can cover medically necessary care costs for those who qualify. These waivers allow medical care to be covered and delivered to seniors who live anywhere, including in assisted living or memory care facilities.

To help you navigate the Medicaid application process, visit your local Area Agency on Aging. The Elder Helpline, the Elder Affairs website, and organizations like Serving Health Insurance Needs of Elders (SHINE) can also help seniors and loved ones navigate Medicaid forms and applications. For advice about any aspect of claiming benefits or resolving issues, you can contact your local ombudsman.

Medicare

Medicare is a program that covers the medical needs of seniors who are at least 65 years old. While it will not defray the custodial costs associated with living in a long-term skilled nursing, assisted living, or memory care community, it could cover the costs of some medically necessary in-home care, such as a required visit from a doctor. Medicare will cover short-term stays in a nursing home if certain conditions are met, but it is not going to cover a nursing home as a long-term care option.

If a senior meets the requirements of being in need of the level of care a nursing home provides, they might be eligible for the Program for All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), which is called Hope PACE in Fort Myers. This program delivers a broad array of medical care and social services to seniors with the goal of keeping them as independent as possible so they don’t have to move into a nursing home.

The Medicare Savings Programs, which helps make Medicare more affordable, can also benefit eligible seniors. These programs can reduce the out-of-pocket costs for seniors when it comes to paying premiums, copays, or deductibles. In some cases, the costs can be entirely covered.

For help understanding what is and isn’t covered by Medicare, reach out to Serving Health Insurance Needs of Elders (SHINE), the local Senior Health Insurance Program (SHIP). This program offers free Medicare-related benefits counseling and can help seniors with the enrollment process.

Seniors can also sign up for Medicare online, visit the Fort Myers Social Security Administration office, or reach out to their local long-term care ombudsman.

Understand Florida laws and regulations for nursing homes

In Florida, nursing homes and other senior care facilities, such as assisted living and memory care facilities, must be licensed by the Agency for Health Care Administration’s Bureau of Health Facility Regulation.

Nursing homes must meet certain standards for personal attendant training, have a medical director and physician services available, and be financially able to care for residents. One of the most important requirements licensees must meet is to provide a “safe, clean, comfortable, and homelike environment.” In addition to Florida laws and regulations, nursing homes are governed by federal standards as well and are subject to annual inspections.

Assisted living facilities in Fort Myers are required to be inspected prior to licensure, as well as at least once every two years. The types of services that assisted living facilities provide depend on their licensure type. State laws and regulations must be followed by all types of licensed assisted living facilities; Florida offers three different types of licenses. The regulations cover rules around medication administration, meals, staffing, training, requirements for the physical facility, and the exact services each level is allowed to provide.

If the care facility you’re looking at is licensed as a memory care facility, there will be additional regulations. For example, any staff member who provides care to residents with dementia or Alzheimer’s must have received at least four hours of additional training, and any direct caregiver must also have additional yearly training top-ups for working with individuals with Alzheimer’s and other memory-related conditions.

If a facility doesn’t meet any of these standards, it will fail its inspection and not be permitted to continue operating until violations are corrected. You can look up completed inspection reports on the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration website.

COVID-19 regulations for Fort Myers nursing homes

The state of Florida does not have mandatory COVID-19 protocols that the public must observe. However, there are guidelines and best practices that residents of Lee County should continue to follow to protect one another. Nursing homes, memory care facilities, and assisted living communities may also have their own specific guidelines.

The Fort Myers area is also home to some public transport options for seniors and their families. LeeTran is the local public transit provider for Fort Myers and the surrounding area. It runs 22 different bus and trolley routes, including popular rides to the beaches south of the city, Cape Coral, Fort Myers Beach, and Bonita Springs.

Senior activities in Fort Myers

People in nursing home environments, whether at assisted living facilities or memory care units, need engaging activities and outings they can enjoy with friends and family members. Luckily, there is a host of accessible places to visit along this stretch of coast.

If you want to get a look at the historical architecture while having a refreshing drink or snack, pay a visit to the River District, a much-loved outdoor shopping and dining area. For live music, consider going to the Florida Repertory Theater, which often hosts accessible and purpose-made shows for senior audiences. The Gulf Coast Symphony at the Music & Arts Community Center is also a popular destination year-round for thrilling live shows and concerts of varied musical genres.

You could also get to know local Fort Myers history with a guided tour of the Edison and Ford Winter Estates, the former seasonal homes of household-name inventors Thomas Edison and Henry Ford, or the Burroughs Home & Gardens historical site, which is a Georgian Revival style mansion built in 1901 that hosted “many high society parties of Fort Myers’ elite residents.”

Of course, Fort Myers wouldn’t be the destination it is without its coastline. The beautiful public beaches that curl around the Gulf of Mexico are always worth visiting, regardless of your age.
