Volunteers of America, the non-profit parent organization of Cape Coral’s Gulf Coast Village, has opened The Preserve, a three-story, 118,000-square-foot skilled nursing and assisted living community at the new Hope Preserve Campus in south Fort Myers.
Located at 14750 Hope Center Loop, at the corner of Six Mile Cypress Parkway and Plantation Road, The Preserve offers 75 private skilled nursing suites for senior residents with specialized or advanced health care needs, as well as 21 boutique assisted living apartments and 17 memory support suites.
“The Preserve is a critical resource for post-acute care, offering high-quality medical services, rehabilitative care and social programs,” said Kevin Ahmadi, area director of operations for Volunteers of America, the non-profit organization that sponsors The Preserve. “The community offers an intimate, boutique-style setting, providing a continuum of care and personalized services all delivered with exceptional hospitality. Residents can rest assured that as health needs change, additional care is available on site.”
Life at The Preserve is focused on comfort, security and wellness. Residents enjoy multiple restaurant-style dining venues, courtyards, libraries, technology rooms and unsurpassed therapy amenities enhance private suites with screened lanais at The Preserve.
The Preserve offers a resident-centered care model. Highly-trained staff members and licensed professionals provide continuous medical support and foster a culture of caring and hospitality, creating specialized programs focused on rehabilitative and restorative care.
Resident units are designed around four “neighborhoods,” each offering its own social, dining and staff support areas. A dedicated memory support neighborhood caters specifically to residents with dementia needing a secured living setting in addition to 24/7 medical assistance. Within The Preserve’s Occupational and Physical Therapy Suite is a Balance and Vestibular Retraining Center that provides therapeutic intervention for residents exhibiting symptoms of balance control, vertigo and dizziness.
The Preserve is the first building at the Hope Preserve Campus designed to include multiple facilities and organizations dedicated to care for seniors and for people with clinically complex illnesses. It’s all part of one of the area’s first medical mixed-use projects that will include retail, hospitality and other uses with diverse senior medical services unrivaled in Southwest Florida.
