My parents are thrilled with Amavida. We join them for dinner a lot and its wonderful! The staff is so sweet and welcoming. Lakeside restaurant and bar is beautiful! Arts and crafts are fun too! They have a themed party for all the holidays and many other fun activities! Cant say enough good things about it. I feel my parents are well taken care of and most of all they are happy!

Sad to see most of the good reviews are from upper management who were basically asked to write these reviews. I feel for the residents who were promised a 5 star resort life style living and have been basically duped. There is no compassion. This could and should be a wonderful place to live and work they just have the wrong mind set. Staff is getting burned out from lack of help which only hurts the residents. Even the responses to these reviews are a joke.

Its such a beautiful place to work. The team is so friendly, helpful, and always finding new way to pamper our residents. Nursing Week was amazing. We received beautiful pot of flowers from the Directors. Wish I could post the picture. Its really nice to have a president there to talk about with any concerns, know he deeply care, & will get results fast. I have found the place Ive been looking for for years. I am home.

Amavida is the best community in the Fort Myers area by far!! Not only is it a gorgeous community and a wonderful place to work, but the family-like environment with both the staff and the residents is what truly makes it amazing. I feel valued and appreciated everyday by all, from the residents, to the line staff (otherwise known as our team members), all the way up to the President of the community, Colin Marshall. Colin has done a fabulous job bringing his beautiful vision to life and has created a wonderful environment for all. I'm excited of what the future holds with Amavida! :)

I was a line cook here they have an executive chef know finally 6 1/2 months after I got hired almost a year after there first quit and I can tell you guys the management is petty and sad they micro manage & protect each other regardless if there wrong, obviously they aren't there for the residents just for there 60-80K a year IDK how I managed to survived and last almost 7 months there even working hard and trying to better stuff is not something Joshua Cook the food and Beverage Administrator or Coordinator Cares about just the simple minded no input workers that are lazy he praises . Glad to have left I feel sorry for every still dealing with them to make pay for there life style is sad and and the residents the most affected ones im sorry !

I am so disgusted with this place. The care is just awful. I thought we were moving my mother in law into a great place - but we have now moved her out. She is in a much better place. Obviously they do not know what they are doing. Hotel company?

I live at amavida and wish i could move out. I cant afford to move. All the reviews are true. The managers and president Collin do not care about any of us. We wait hours for food and got nothing he promised. He fired all the nice people. Dont move in.

I have had nothing but positive experiences with Amavida. Before I moved in they were always available to answer any of my questions and they worked with me to help me get ready for my move in to my new home. Im delighted with the friendly and concerned staff. They are bending over backward to make my stay here a pleasant experience. The food is wonderful. It ranges from a fine dining experience to good ole comfort food. There are endless activities for the residents and we are basically a group of happy people. Ive made many new friends and plan to stay here for the rest of my life. The surroundings are peaceful and lovely and Im very glad I made the decision to come here.

Amavida is a one of a kind senior living environment. From the amenities offered, to numerous dining options, and the vast amount of lifestyle events there is never a dull moment. I am honored to be part of a family of assosciates that care about the residents and truly are here to serve, honor, and respect each and every resident as deserved.

Amavida Living is not only a beautiful community, it boasts a wonderful team of caring associates! President Colin Marshall is passionate and dedicated to his residents, families and associates. It is truly a great place to call home.

My parents are absolutely loving living at Amavida. The residents and staff are extremely welcoming to new people, which was a great relief when I was relocating my parents to Fort Myers, Florida. The facilities are beautiful and staff works very hard to offer 5-star food, activities and amenities. The campus looks more like a resort than a senior living neighborhood, so my parents were excited to move in and start really enjoying their retirement! They have just about every service seniors require available on site and have a bus system to transport residents around town for errands and activities. Though we moved my parents into the Independent Living building, knowing staff is there to help with transitioning them to Assisted Living when the time comes, is very comforting. Very, very happy with our decision to move mom and dad into this community and look forward to visiting my parents so we can take advantage of the amenities ourselves!

Terrible.. we moved my in laws into Amavida a while back. It started out okay, but it has taken a turn for the worse. The president or whoever is in charge is either incompetent or downright stupid. The food and service is consistently bad. The high turnover of staff indicates a serious lack of leadership that flows down to the residents. Don't believe the fake reviews. The last 3 reviews are all employees. Josh and Shannon should spend more time taking care of residents and less time writing fake Google reviews (and Haile Selassie? Seriously? The emperor of Ethiopia wrote an Amavida review from the grave... (I teach high school history).. My in laws are looking elsewhere and you should too.

I am currently a worker of amavida and I have never felt so good in a job like here all the work staff are like a family the pre-president and brayan director are the best to care about the workers and that we feel good I think that amavida for me it's the best and residents are part of our team too

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.

Please read these reviews, this place is terrible. They do not care about residents or staff, just making money. This is by far the worst place I have ever worked with the worst people. The president, human resources, dining, etc. I am just disgusted at how they treat associates. Beautiful place with arrogant leaders.

Ive had many conversations with the President, Colin trying to iron out concerns. Sadly, he doesnt seem to care about the happiness or wellbeing of those living at Amavida. The customer service horrendous and any complaint falls on deaf ears. If you love your loved one, send them anywhere but here. Youve been warned.

This monstrosity of a building was built between gladiolus and lakes park. It has made a beautiful, serene park terrible now. The noise made from removing all the trees makes lakes park sound like a highway. And the beautiful scenery of lakes park is now ruined by a giant, horrible looking back drop of this building. Thanks for ruining another great city park.

Amavida is resort style living at its best! The amenities are great and include tennis, bocce, pickle ball and 3 pools. I am thoroughly enjoying the delicious food as well as the friendly and gracious staff. So happy to be calling Amavida my home!

Recently went to see family and WOW !!!!Worst place I have ever visited to see family. Sure the scenery is great outside and the building itself is as well but careful looks are deceiving the concept is great but poor management and improper conduct and bad environment and to be completely upfront we all around had bad feelings. Met the food service director Josh and overheard him making lewd comments to another hispanic gentlman with glasses luis or something about a female employee. Not appropriate by any means! Then to top it off the food was mediocre at best. It is almost as if they didn't care about us. Took forever for our food and it was cold and tasted old. The staff was treated poorly from the little we saw and very little to no leadership. Then to top it all off we over heard a short gentleman named Collin which come to find out is the President, talking about some Oleck guy poorly that he just gives him money and he spends it and completely talking very inappropriately about this poor gentleman we are guessing it is an employee but can't be sure.... to we assume is a significant other, dark haired lady with glasses sharon or shannon or something we arent sure of the name only got a quick glimpse but very snooty and come on folks, public displays of affection in a work environment are ridiculous. We didn't come to see that. Let's keep it classy. So seems like the staff doesn't know how to keep the personal stuff out of customers eyes. The wife 'says it was like a real life days of our lives.' I agree with her ... This place has huge potential with the right leaders and attitudes in place, people that respect and appreciate it's employees. I mean none were smiling. It was actually very depressing.... And what happened to professionalism and customer service! But hey, if you like gossip and feel like being part of a real life days of our lives episode then it's Perfect!! #1 people watching spot.

This place is terrible. I visited the property over a month ago and got caught up in the hype dished out by the sales team. I gave them a check for $3,000 to hold an independent living apartment for my mother, on the promise of it being returned if we didnt move forward with a lease. I was told that a copy of the lease would be forwarded to me that day, and it was not. After three days of asking, I finally received a copy of the lease and noticed right away that several of the statements made by the sales person were NOT true, so I called and spoke with the marketing director. During the conversation I told her that we would not be moving forward with the lease and I wanted to stop by to pick up my $3000 check. It was at that time that I discovered they had already cashed my check and they informed me that they had up to 30 days to return the money back to me! The marketing director said that she would check with accounting regarding having a check available for me to pick up before I town and I never heard back from her, and even after leaving two voice messages, she never called me back. Its been over 30 days and still no refund. This is just ONE issue with Amavida and I cannot imagine placing a loved one there to live with this type of management! Go in with your eyes wide open and read every line of the lease prior to giving them a deposit.

I needed to revise my earlier review. In the beginning my parents were very happy with Amavida, but things have changed. Upper management seems confused and disorganized. Recently the president (Collin?) spoke to the residents about keeping their dogs off of the grass. Many residents found the conversation insulting and even rude. Service is rapidly declining and the employees seem to be leaving at an alarming rate. The remaining people don't seem to have any idea what good service means. Hopefully management will get their act together or my parents will be looking elsewhere.

Beautifully built with a modern and elegant design. This community is going to be breathtaking when complete. And not to mention the friendly staff and the best security officers in Southwest Florida on-site.

Dont understand the positive reviews, I am sure they are fake. The place is run like a zoo and the food is horrible. I recently moved my mother in and she has not stopped complaining about how bad the food is, the sewer smells coming into the corridors and no water pressure. Lets hope management changes in 2019.

When you go pick your kids up from work you can never get inside the Sercurity Gaurds no where never to be found then they accused a parent of smoking cigarettes and piling it up behind her car which the parent doesn't even smoke and also accused a parent for having it out with one Sercurity Gaurd when she never seen that one and making false accusation about a parent and when the parent gets into with a Sercurity Gaurd because she couldn't get in and sat there for 30 minutes til a resident came and the parent went in through the gate but it was a problem after then the manager Shawn was screaming and yelling at the parent went she tried to report what happened but he took the Sercurity Gaurd John side and said he didn't want to hear the parent side and hangs up on the parent because the Sercurity Gaurd John wasn't no where to let that parent inside to get her child but when another race comes in they couldn't get in John told them to go back and redo the code then he talked to them on the phone but let them in with no problem and it's not safe to the residents and workers to just push the code as was told by the Sercurity Gaurd John and said the gate supposed open and let you in that means anybody can comes on to the property and gets in and be at risk and for me I will not want my love ones to live like that when safety is a problem and when the parent that was concerned about the safety and I heard from other people as well saying it be a problem for them to get in as well

Had Dinner with friends. I dont usually write reviews, this is not at all what they were promised. Service in the dining room is so slow and my friends say it is just going down hill. I will wait for a while before I move in.

I am not sure if this president is asking his employees to write about him, but it sure does seem like it.

A Senior Living Facility - Heard thru grapevine that upper management finally figured out why more people are moving out than moving in and got rid of the main problem.
