Overview of The Summit of Fort Myers

The Summit of Fort Myers offers independent living and respite care in Fort Myers, FL. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while respite care offers a short stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. Having both ongoing and short-term options may suit someone whose housing needs could change temporarily.

Residents can choose one-bedroom or two-bedroom residences. A two-bedroom layout can work well for a couple moving together or for someone who wants a companion, while a one-bedroom layout provides one private space. Pets are allowed, so residents can bring a pet when they move in.
