The Preserve in Fort Myers is a 38-bed nursing home housed in a three-story building on Hope Center Loop in Fort Myers, Florida. Run by administrator William Boyd and operated by Voa Lee County Health Care Facility, Inc., the building runs at roughly 88 percent occupancy. Stays here average just 41 days, which shows the staff concentrates heavily on short-term post-hospital rehab and recovery. To handle billing, the business office takes traditional Medicare, state Medicaid, and private funds.
Visitors will need a vehicle for almost all errands, as the surrounding neighborhood is car-dependent with a walk score of 17 out of 100. Indoors, residents receive an average of 4 hours and 47 minutes of direct nursing attention every day from a 24-hour team of RNs, LPNs, and aides. This floor crew provides regular speech, physical, and occupational therapy alongside a secure memory care program for residents with dementia. Daily life includes one-bedroom units, chef-prepared meals, weekly housekeeping, local transport, and a secure outdoor courtyard.
While older reports noted issues with elopement prevention and staffing protocols, the management team resolved those concerns, and the most recent inspection cleared the building with zero deficiencies.
Prospective residents can get in touch with the front desk to see if there are any current vacancies, ask about the short-term rehab schedules, or book an afternoon to see the campus firsthand.

ProMedica Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Fort Myers East (Eagleridge)
ProMedica Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation sits on Eagle Ridge Drive in Fort Myers, and it’s structured around short-term rehab. Most residents stay about 61 days. The location itself requires a car, given its Walk Score of 17, so families without their own transportation need to plan accordingly.
What stands out on paper is the staffing. Residents get 3 hours 27 minutes of nursing per day, plus another 3 hours 23 minutes from aides. That’s genuinely above the Florida average by about 18%.
The full-time nursing roster runs 17 RNs, 26 LPNs, and 74 CNAs. An 87.2% occupancy rate suggests the market actually wants these beds, which says something about how the place functions day-to-day.
The resident mix is heavily Medicaid-dependent (82.2%), with Medicare picking up 12.6% and private pay making up the remaining 5.2%. They take all three payment types. On-site, they offer physical therapy, occupational therapy, respiratory therapy, and dental services. They also run their own nurse aide certification program, which is a way to control their own hiring pipeline instead of depending entirely on external labor markets.
Resident and family councils actually meet regularly to discuss policy and care quality. It’s not window dressing; structured forums for shared decision-making matter more than abstract promises of collaboration.
The not-for-profit structure probably influences that. When you’re not chasing quarterly returns, staffing and retention matter differently. The high nursing ratios and solid occupancy paint a picture of a place that’s operationally consistent, at least on the metrics that matter for short-term rehabilitation.
