Senior living in Fort Myers, at a glance

Fort Myers has 88 residential senior living communities listed with us in Lee County, part of Florida's Gulf Coast region: 29 offering assisted living, 39 offering memory care, 53 offering independent living, 22 offering skilled nursing. Many campuses offer several care levels, so a resident can move between them without leaving the people and places they know.

Because Florida has seen active ownership turnover in the recent M&A wave, we track each community's current record — so what you see reflects who runs it today, not two owners ago. Every scored community below carries a CARES score built from care, dining, social life, amenities, and facilities. For budgeting, Florida's statewide median for assisted living is about $5,610/month (Genworth); exact pricing in Fort Myers depends on care level and apartment — ask CARA for current quotes.

Common questions about Fort Myers senior living

How many senior living communities are in Fort Myers, Florida?

Senior Community Stars lists 88 residential senior living communities in Fort Myers (Lee County) — 29 offering assisted living, 39 offering memory care, 53 offering independent living, 22 offering skilled nursing. Many communities offer more than one care level on the same campus.

How much does senior living cost in Fort Myers?

Community-specific pricing varies with care level and apartment, so we don't guess at it — ask CARA or the community for a current quote. As a statewide baseline, Florida's median assisted living cost is about $5,610/month, and a semi-private nursing home room runs about $10,342/month (Genworth Cost of Care data).

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care?

Assisted living helps with daily tasks — bathing, dressing, medication — while residents stay largely independent. Memory care is a secured setting with staff trained specifically for Alzheimer's and dementia, higher supervision, and programming built around cognitive decline. Many communities offer both, so a resident can move between them without changing campuses.

How are Fort Myers communities scored?

Every scored community gets an independent 0–10 CARES score built from five dimensions — care, dining, social life, amenities, and facilities — computed from each community's published information and aggregated public reviews, the same consistent way for every community. No community pays us, so no score is ever for sale. (See exactly how it works on our CARES methodology page.)
