Reviews Amavida at Lakes Park
July 2026
Grateful for the care and support from the Amavida staff with my mom.
July 2026
Every time we come, everybody’s so pleasant and helpful and my mother-in-law is all smiles, even though she’s unable to talk her countenance is always so good and we know that’s in part from the people here. Ruth is a wonderful director of the whole operation!
July 2026
Mr. E works in the Maintenance Department at Amavida, but he demonstrates the same values of all the rest of the caregivers here. He can fix anything, and does that with sincere compassion and understanding of the residents he serves!
July 2026
Love living at Amavida, a true resort style complex. The residents are friendly and staff accomodating. It is a brand new facility so working out a few kinks but staff has been responsive. A lot of new hires as they continually strive to find and hire the best employees to serve our residents. It is filling up fast with entusiastic new residents. UPDATE: Celebrated two years enjoying living at Amavida. At 75 people think I am young for Senior living but I wanted to be able to fully enjoy the resort living without responsibities. So glad I did. I lead a busy, active life and enjoy the community spirit. I also enjoy our own entrance to Lakes Park. Why wait when you could be living the good life at Amavida. Over 5 years now at Amavida and couldn't be happier. I've watched it grow and develop. The staff is terrific. We enjoy a variety of dining experiences. There are activities and clubs to cover any interest. This is truly care free living at its finest. Now in my eighth year of loving life at Amavida. Ive seen a lot of changes as we work to keep facilities updated, continually expand Enrichment programs and activities and improve our dining experience. Highly recommend checking Amavida out for yourself.
July 2026
We found Amavida met all of our expectations and more. All of the staff were outstanding, especially Alexandra Bolen and Jennifer Papa. Alexandra gave us a spectacular tour and guided us through the process of reserving our new home. Jennifer is the Move-in Coordinator and makes your move go smoothly. Hats off to these delightful young ladies. Thank you.
July 2026
My Mom moved to Amavida Memory Care in Aug 2025. Mom was at another Assisted Care facility for 8 years prior to moving, so obviously it was not an easy transition for a 92 year old. Since then she has adjusted to her new environment with the help of the staff in the unit. The memory care staff has gone above and beyond to help with the transition. They have been there for Mom when she needs calming, help and reassurance. They have been there to support me with this difficult decision and move. Ruth Watson, the Manager of Memory Care always goes out of her way to keep me updated and informed of progress, problems and anything needing communicated. Amavida is a beautiful facility and I have been happy with the care my Mom gets here.
July 2026
My mom has lived in Amavida for several years now and really likes it. All of the staff are great. One of her caregivers, Ruth, even sends pictures and videos of mom doing fun activities. We are very happy.
July 2026
My mother is in memory care at Amavida. She is doing well and is happy there. Ruth, the memory care manager is outstanding in getting the residents up and moving. My mother has never excersized but Ms. Ruth sure has a special way to get the residents up and about. She also shares photos with my brothers who live out of state. Love her.
July 2026
Beautiful IL and AL community with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Everyone is friendly, and there are always plenty of fun activities for the residents. A special shoutout to Karla, who truly goes above and beyond for the residents and is always focused on their well-being. Highly recommend this community!
June 2026
Amavida’s memory care unit has been very helpful for my wife. It is a locked unit with pleasant accommodations and caring staff. Ruth has been very helpful and supportive.
June 2026
It’s a wonderful place to live. Very friendly staff and great food!
June 2026
Keanu was a great addition to your team. I notice the excitement and interest the residents have when she is around. Keanu seems so passionate and kind, you can tell she takes pride in providing the residents with the best activity experience!
June 2026
Kiki is very sweet to the residents. They talk about her all the time. My grandparents are very happy she is there.
June 2026
I really love the way Kiki is so hands on & attentive with the residents from what I noticed she always has a cheerful smile on her face it just makes the environment feel more welcoming
June 2026
Kiki is a very great worker she treats all the residents like family and with respect
June 2026
Our first five months have been wonderful! We have really well treated by the Maintenance Team, headed up by James Smith. They helped us move in and have been very responsive every time we put in a work order. Captain Mike has been our "go_to". We've used our friend (we just call him "Mr. E") multiple times. Terry is a gregarious and helpful landscaper and yard man. The whole team works well together. Thank you!
April 2026
This community has been a godsend for my grandparents. They started in independent living and were able to transition seamlessly to assisted living when the time was right. I need to give a shoutout to Dayna as well - the US Navy doesn’t have a ship that’s run as tightly as she runs the AL front desk. Community management in general is highly responsive to resident concerns and are constantly making changes and improvements to ensure that only the highest quality experience is provided. Thank you Amavida!
March 2026
What a great place to live. So many things to do and it’s right by a beautiful park. Great staff and great food! The best part is you can age in place. I am so happy that we chose Amavida
February 2026
Visited with family to Amavida in Ft Myers. Beautiful facility. Everyone seemed so happy. Concierge Dana was very nice and funny. They really care about their tenants! We are thankful for this place.
February 2026
Amavida is an outstanding senior living community! The staff is warm, attentive, and truly cares about every resident. The community is beautiful, well-maintained, and offers wonderful activities and amenities that keep everyone engaged and happy. It’s a welcoming, vibrant place that feels like home. Highly recommend!
January 2026
Our parents downsized and, being in their 80’s, moved to Amavida Assisted Living in 2021. Everything was transitioned exceptionally well and medications back on track. After our Fathers death our mother was moved to a smaller residence; again a seamless transition where she was well taken care of, entertained/exercised daily, and provided excellent food. As her Dementia/Alzheimers progressed she was relocated to the Memory Care Unit and has been provided a modern/clean, active, and loving environment. Every day is like the movie 50 First Dates between Amavida and Mom. Special shout out to Sherri, Nicole, and Ruth for providing such great care!!!
January 2026
My wife has been at Amavida for over a year, it is by far the best place she has been. She is in memory care. It is exceptional. The director of memory care is Ruth. She is charming, energetic, and very caring. The Director Activities Jiva Interacts with the patients she’s very kind and very outgoing. The managing director is Tina who is always Available and very responsive to any request..Amavida is a great place,
December 2025
If you’re looking for a true class act in the senior living space, look no further than Beth Cordi at AmaVida Living. I recently invited Beth to speak at one of our Lunch & Learn events at Evolution Retirement Services, and not only did she deliver ” she exceeded every expectation we’ve ever had. Her presentation was warm, engaging, incredibly informative, and easily the best Lunch & Learn we’ve hosted to date. Beth has a way of connecting with people that is both genuine and professional, and she represents AmaVida Living with the highest level of care, knowledge, and integrity. It was truly a pleasure to have her as our guest, and we consider her an outstanding asset to the AmaVida team. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with Beth will quickly see why she stands out in this industry. Highly recommended ” five stars all the way.

November 2025
I toured Amavida today with Beth and was very impressed with the beauty and layout of the facility. I only toured the Memory Care, but all areas I came in contact with were bright, clean, updated and open! The staff all greeted me and were helpful. The rooms were sufficient and had room to maneuver a wheelchair, if necessary. There are several activities for those interested, also. They even have a nice pool and gorgeous outdoor sitting areas. A resident stated she's been there 6 years and loves it and the menu had many choices for each meal time. I would say it looks like a wonderful place for seniors needing more care, as they age. Thank you for the tour, Beth!
September 2025
Ms Tina, Sherri, Nicole, Trish, Carletta....I could go on and on The staff is amazing at Amavida
September 2025
I can’t speak highly enough about Amavida. From the moment we first visited, it was clear this was a place where residents are truly cared for ” not just attended to. The staff is warm, professional, and genuinely engaged with the residents. You’re greeted with a smile, and there’s always someone available to help or answer questions. The community itself is beautifully maintained, with spacious, clean rooms and inviting common areas. Whether it’s the dining room, garden, or activity spaces, everything feels thoughtfully designed to promote comfort, safety, and social connection. One of the standout features is the level of personal attention each resident receives. The care plans are clearly tailored to individual needs, and the team communicates regularly with families, which gave us great peace of mind.
September 2025
My family and I are so grateful we found this community. From the very first visit, we could feel the kindness and genuine care from everyone here. The staff treat my loved one like their own family, and that peace of mind means everything to us. Highly recommend this place!
September 2025
Amavida has been a wonderful experience for my mother after leaving her home. The atmosphere and facilities are out-standing, with very supportive and caring staff, along with a vast amount of activities..all within a beautiful community! It is well worth the money knowing she is happy and well cared for here.
August 2025
Beautiful, definitely has a resort feel!
July 2025
I’ve spent quite a bit of time at this community, and I can honestly say it’s one of the most welcoming and thoughtfully designed places for older adults. The staff is always warm and attentive, and you can tell they genuinely care about the residents. There’s such a wide variety of activities to join in on”whether you’re into fitness, arts, games, or just socializing, there’s something for everyone. The facility itself is beautiful, clean, and feels more like a high-end resort than a typical senior living space. The gyms and pool are top-notch, and it’s easy to stay active here. Overall, it’s a wonderful place for anyone to call home.
July 2025
"Amavida at Lakes is an exceptional assisted living community. The staff consistently goes above and beyond to provide compassionate, attentive care. My mother has truly flourished here thanks to the dedicated team. Margo, Andrea and Orenthia, in particular, have been incredible”always kind, responsive, and proactive in making sure she is comfortable and well taken care of. Knowing she’s in such capable and caring hands brings our family real peace of mind."
July 2025
Thank you to to all of the staff, especially Dayna and the concierge crew and all of the ladies on the second floor of the Vistas. They take such great care of our Mom.
July 2025
We’ve been part of the Amavida community since it opened and have loved it! Karla, Margo, Dayna, Nancy, and Josh are always cheerful, professional, welcoming, and wonderful! It’s such a great community.
July 2025
I want to say "Thank You" to Dayna for always being there for my mother Maryann and our family! You are lucky to have such a wonderful person on staff.
July 2025
I recently visited a family friend here. The complex is beautiful beyond belief. There was a lovely lady at front that was extremely gracious, kind and helpful, I believe Dayna was here name, has purple everywhere on her desk. So sweet that the residents have her there to offer support and a smile!
July 2025
Dayna is so nice and welcoming. We love seeing her up front!
July 2025
I do not do reviews But this massive property that is so beautiful along with many many services is worth a word or two. My dad was in the assisted living side for several years. The staff there is incredible. Everyone is so kind to everyone that lives there. I would be amiss if I did not do a shout out to Dayna the concierge and also Carletta the nurse. Dayna, who is quick with a joke and the first to jump up when someone needs something. Carletta is soft spoken and kind. I had the occasion to visit there last week and Dayna encouraged me to please write a review if I was pleased with the service my dad received there along with any other good things. She even showed me something to make it easy for a non techy person. It was all good for him there. He became too ill to live there or he would still be there. Dayna went up and beyond many many times. We were grateful for the staff that seems so caring and a safe place for my dad to live.
July 2025
My husband and I are in our seventh year of residence in an independent living apartment...an apartment that is configured well to house our baby grand Kanabe! Our balcony overlooks Lakes Park. We enjoy the Oasis swimming pool, access to Lakes Park for walking and bike riding and its Farmer's Market, as well as the many and various activities provided by the Life Enrichment staff! Our dining areas offer delightful food choices! Amavida is a small, rental community with a variety of living spaces available for independent to memory care folks. It's a welcoming environment with delightful staff!
July 2025
We have lived at Amavida since the day it opened! We love our villa! It is very comforting to know that everything is taken care of for us! I love baking and when my oven was not working properly maintenance came and ordered a new unit because it could not be fixed. The staff is awesome! They have become like extended family! Being adjacent to Lakes Park is an amazing added bonus! I walk the paths there every morning and see something new everyday! Great way to start a day! We are very happy that we chose to live at Amavida and that we didn’t have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to move in! We especially like the location because it is so close to anything we need - hospitals, doctors, shopping, and entertainment! We love our community of friends and love calling it home! CK & BK
July 2025
From the moment we connected with Alexandra, we felt at ease. Her warmth, knowledge, and genuine care for both residents and families shine through in everything she does. She took the time to understand our unique situation and guided us with compassion and clarity. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated, responsive, and thoughtful. Alexandra truly made a difficult transition feel manageable and meaningful. We are so grateful for her support and highly recommend working with her if you’re considering senior living options.
July 2025
We had to put our parents in Amavida Assisted Living after Hurricane Ian and after our mom passed, our dad required a lot of help and attention. I have never experienced such personal care. Everyone from nursing, maintenance and even the concierge desk. One particular woman, Dayna, goes above and beyond when it comes to the care of my father. She even gave me her cell number for emergencies! If I have to go into assisted living, this is where I want to go.
July 2025
My mom moved in last August and so far we have had a positive experience! The staff has been very kind to my mom which helps the transition as well. Big shout out to some special people who always shares a smile and bring a smile, apologies to anyone I left out, trying to remember everyone’s name Imencia (sp), the PT, OT and ST staff, Jack, Security staff, Marie, Margo, Carletta, Carmela, Isla, Janik (sp), Andrea, Dayna, Sheri! Thank You!
July 2025
Dayna, the Concierge consistently goes above and beyond her role. Her kindness shines through in every greeting, making residents feel comfortable and heard. Her attentiveness ensures that no detail is missed, whether it's answering a question or directing a visitor like myself. Her unwavering professionalism is a benchmark for everyone. A true asset!
July 2025
Just toured this property and it is beautiful. Dayna at the front desk was so friendly and helpful. Answered all of questions. Thank you.
July 2025
I've been living at Amavida for 2 months and love the place. On my first day I met many people. All of which extremely friendly and caring. The food is excellent and service outstanding. Everyone is very helpful and they will "bend over backwards" to help you. I'll say it again . . . I love Amavida!
July 2025
My mom and dad have toured Amavida with Mark Gephardt. I've since toured the facility with my sister. Mark has been the most gracious, informative representative of this incredible facility. I'm certain, at some point, my parents will call Amavida home, thanks to Mark and those who have created such a spectacular resident lifestyle community. I want to live there someday!
July 2025
Living at Amavida feels like a permanent vacation! From the moment you walk into Amavida, it’s clear this community is something special. The entire place is beautifully maintained, modern, and immaculately clean. It truly feels more like a luxury resort than a senior living community. They’ve thought of everything here. The food, the activities and the special events are incredible. Everything is planned with the residents in mind. The leadership team is top-notch”professional, attentive, and genuinely committed to making Amavida a place where residents can thrive. You can see their dedication reflected in every part of the community. The staff is outstanding. They are warm, caring, and consistently go above and beyond to make sure residents feel supported, respected, and engaged. It's rare to find a team that shows so much heart in their day-to-day care. Highly recommend this community to anyone looking for care for a loved one or themselves. Amavida is the total package!

5 Stars “ A True Gem for Senior Living! Amavida Resort Style Living has been nothing short of exceptional. From the moment you step onto the beautifully landscaped grounds, you can tell this is not your average senior living community. It truly feels like a resort ” elegant, vibrant, and welcoming. The staff at Amavida go above and beyond to make residents feel at home. They are attentive, compassionate, and always ready with a warm smile. The activities calendar is packed with engaging events, wellness programs, and social gatherings that keep everyone active and connected. The dining options are also worth mentioning ” nutritious, delicious, and served in a restaurant-quality setting. Whether you're enjoying a meal, relaxing by the pool, or attending a live music night, every day feels like a mini vacation. What stands out the most is the sense of community.

It’s comforting to know that independent living, assisted living, and memory care services are all available within the same campus should your needs change. I highly recommend Amavida to any senior ” or their family ” looking for a joyful, enriching, and worry-free lifestyle. This is a place where life is truly celebrated.

Amavida is a beautiful community. I really like the staff there. Everyone is always friendly and full of information. And I think it is great that they have a part b company, a physician and a private duty company at the community.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Amavida at Lakes Park, and I couldn't be more impressed. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere exuded comfort, warmth, and a sense of community that was immediately welcoming. The building itself is stunning, with beautifully designed apartments that offer both elegance and practicality, ensuring residents feel at home while also maintaining their independence. It’s a place where seniors can thrive, enjoy their independence, and feel like part of a close-knit community. Highly recommend!

Delicious meals and friendly, helpful staff!
December 2024
I'd always walked past it but never gone inside. I had a client there and was blown away when I saw the interiors. There are two types of apartments: a classic one-bedroom and a two-bedroom. Perfect for retirees, the complex is well-equipped with everything you need for a pleasant community life: beautiful views, plants throughout, a pool, gym, dining service, a movie theater, a caf©”basically anything you want to do in the building. They're very attentive, and my experience was 5 stars!
November 2024
My mom has lived in Independent Living at Amavida for a little over two years. I live in Ohio but have spent a lot of time there due to work on her house in Sanibel since Hurricane Ian. I also manage my mom's affairs for her from afar. I am blown away by Amavida. First of all, their buildings and grounds are elegant and beautiful. Gorgeous decor and landscaping, with a nice courtyard in the center of the independent living building, a really nice movie theater, a really nice gym with personal training and PT/OT, two restaurants, I think three pools (at least one of which is heated), a library, an art studio, activity rooms, a salon, and probably more. The people who work there from the management down are top notch - consistently kind, caring, respectful, and service-oriented. They really value the dignity of the residents. The concierge desk, housekeeping, restaurant staff, porters, shuttle drivers, and security staff all work in concert to provide a safe, loving, fun environment for all who live there. I think the food is fantastic, and it varies. Their activities coordinator constantly provides fun and varied offerings and decorates beautifully for the season and holidays. The restaurants both have a bar. The office staff have been very helpful to me and are enthusiastically involved in community events like fashion shows and bake sales. There is coffee, tea, and hot chocolate available 24/7 in the lobby. The security staff is excellent and caring. I love it there. The staff have gone above and beyond in many ways for my mom. The people that work there seem to enjoy their work and have good senses of humor. It's a wonderful environment, and I highly recommend it. The residents are active and very involved. I'm attaching to this review some photos of the Train Room at Amavida, which is a creation of a group of Amavida residents. It's unbelievable.

My wife and I are residents at Amavida and have been For two years. Prior to selecting Amavida we visited almost every senior living and care facility in Lee and Collier county for about 1 1/2 yrs. We found out found Amavida to be head and shoulders above every place that we visited. Some Of these places we even we sampled their food. The people who work here are Absolutely unbelievably Nice and very attentive to your needs. I never thought A place like this existed. We highly recommend Amavida before you waste your time Like we did. Tom & Natalie.
February 2024
This senior living community is a trusted source of living environments for people with various types of needs. From independent apartments and cottages, through assisted living and memory care, the Amavida staff and care teams treat these residents as their own family. The nursing and therapists are exceptional and the support staff keeps the trains running smoothly. The grounds are gorgeous, and the facilities are always kept pristine. There are many choices for physical and mind-related activities, as well as eating options. Consider Amavida for yourself or a family member as a top option! (This review is coming from a daughter of a long-time resident...)
January 2024
For the past 18 months, we have conducted due diligence in researching, evaluating, considering and visiting numerous Florida retirement communities as potential candidates for our lives' next stage "forever" homes. Some turned out to be weary and dated, others gaudy and excessively palatial and ostentatious, yet others unrelaxed, formal, constrained and restrictive. There was one, however, that stood palpably superior in all measures to the others we had reviewed ... and that community is Amavida Living of Fort Myers' west coast. The consideration that initially caught our attention and nominated Amavida's candidacy was the "no costly buy in / no long term contract" aspect afforded by the community. In retrospect, that was a primary but decreasingly important asset as we delved deeper into the community and discovered its lengthy panoply of values and benefits. From the moment we first approached the community, walked through its manicured and richly planted grounds, and entered its capacious, bright, cheerful and welcoing lobby we turned to each other and simultaneously said: "This feels like home." And so it did, exuding an enwombing sense of familiarity, comfort and peace. Of course, we took the requisite private tour of the campus, conducted by the warm, human, pressure-less, soft spoken and endearing Martha Davilla, Director of Business Development who has, over time, grown to become one of our inner circle of friends. To Martha's credit, rather than directing, monitoring and shadowing our each and every step, we were given carte blanche to explore as we chose, to randomly interact with staff members and with residents whose paths we might cross. One universal message we heard repeatedly and forcefully from every resident, man and woman, regardless of age: "Yes, we are happy to be here here. The only question: Why didn't we do this sooner. From the staff: "We are extremely happy to be here. " and one could tell that, behind the energetic replies and beaming faces, they were truly sincere and WERE glad to be at Amavida. We could go on for several pages more: the enticing meals as discerned from past, current and planned menus. The spacious airiness and relaxed pastel and calming colors predominant throughout the campus. The well thought out, supremely functional and more than adequate apartment designs. The responsible and mature pet policy. The graciousness and dedication to their residents' physical and spiritual well being of the enire Amavida staff. The exemplary supportive facilities, including an on-site physician's office, two dining rooms, large swimming pool, outdoor grilling area et al. The rich and diversified daily activities offerings. The spick-and-span, Marine-level cleanliness throughout. If you are considering transitioning into a retirement community and Florida is your tageted destination, you MUST add Amavida Living to your list. You will have done yourself a favor and shall not be disappointed.

This is a retirement and assisted living place that is beautiful, great staff and residents. They offer lots of activities and the food is great with choices of meals and their are several dining rooms. Dinning room looks like a restaurant and the rooms look like hotel rooms. I hope I can some day live in a place like this. I must see and visit. Residents are addressed by Mr/Mrs/Ms. There are many husband and wife’s living here.

Almost 1 year after leaving Amavida retirement community in Fort Myers, FL, I still miss living there. Everything for retirees is easily available. The facility is relatively new, top notch, clean and so well staffed. The meals are excellent as was the meal service. The apartments are nicely cleaned each week and the entire facility is impeccably clean. If anyone is seeking a place for the parent[s], or grandparent[s], or for yourselves, be sure to visit Amavida.

Amavida is a gorgeous property and awesome staff. As soon as you enter, everyone is smiling and you can feel the happiness in their community. I felt like I was visiting a resort, as opposed to a facility. Everyone is always so helpful and eager to help. Wonderful place.

Amavida was a gracious host to The Jewish Federation of Lee and Charlotte Counties Lunch Bunch program. The staff worked hard to make sure that our event was user-friendly - from parking to signage to great food and good cheer by everyone we encountered. The food was delicious and all of the waitstaff were friendly and kind. We used the movie theatre at Amavida after lunch to view a slide presentation by a local artist, capping off a wonderful afternoon.

I just had the fortunate opportunity of going through a hurricane (Ian) with incredibly talented and dedicated staff, and our wonderful family of residents. I say fortunate because we came through it a closer group of people and completely unscathed...well except the landscaping which took a pounding. That too will be good as new in the next month or two! Thanks Amavida Family!

Amavida truly represents resort style living at its finest. The community is beautiful, well maintained and the staff are welcoming and helpful. I love that there's a park in walking distance too. It's certainly has got to be among the best retirement communities in SWFL. I highly recommend checking out Amavida if you're looking yourself or a family member.

Toured the facilities with my parents, lovely grounds and interiors throughout. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. We had lunch at the restaurant facing the pond, prices were very affordable and the quality of the food and service was excellent.

Amavida was the perfect choice for my parents. The Vistas (Assisted Living) and The Meadows (Memory Care) neighborhoods, both have the best care team, very active community calendars, wonderful amenities, but best of all the care team has a HUGE HEART. They give my parents the individualized care they need and my parents are very happy. This alone is priceless. I could not have made a better decision. Having my parents being well cared for gives me piece of mind knowing that they are in great hands.
