Joe Troyer

We moved my father in law I to Calusa Harbor in March 2025. We met with Olga who did an excellent job explaining everything that goes on and activities to get involved in. As soon as he moved in he was befriended by everyone. Not only was he befriended but he also found a new love that he is spending the rest of his life with. He has companionship and is so happy after a bit of a struggle convincing him that it is a great place. It’s all inclusive and has everything he needs. He is extremely happy and was the best move for him after a long time of trying to help him understand all the benefits of being there. He wish he had done it sooner!

My parents are currently residents here and it truly feels like home. The staff, all of the staff, is incredibly kind and patient, especially, Liz. I’m in Michigan and I feel so much at peace having my parents living in this beautiful sanctuary! It smells good, the food is amazing and it feels like a 5 star resort. Worth every penny!
