Villa Palms Assisted Living
Located about 7.5 miles from downtown Fort Myers, Florida, Villa Palms Assisted Living is a family-owned assisted living community with 19 beds and private suites. The community is operated by Cape Chateau 2 ALF LLC and administered by Yanlienys Pozo Pacheco. Along with assisted living, it also offers respite care and hospice care. Its smaller size creates a home-like setting where residents and staff can get to know one another more closely than in a larger community.
Residents receive medication assistance, housekeeping, and laundry services as part of daily care. Every room has an emergency response system, smoke and heat detectors, and rooms are available either furnished or unfurnished. Staff speak both English and Spanish, helping make communication easier for Spanish-speaking residents and families. Transportation services are available. Residents can join in fitness and recreation programs. There is also a full calendar of activities that includes arts and crafts, dancing, exercise classes, gardening, music programs, and social outings.
Home-cooked meals are served in an open dining area with flexible meal times, giving residents more freedom to follow their own daily routine. Pets are welcome in the community, allowing residents to keep a companion animal after moving in.
Villa Palms accepts Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, HMO plans, and Veterans Affairs benefits, giving families several ways to help pay for care. State inspections conducted by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration have most often focused on staffing, staff training, and background screening. Some inspections have also reviewed medication assistance, admissions, and recordkeeping.
The area has a Walk Score of 30, which is somewhat walkable. A few nearby places can be reached on foot, but most errands require a car.
