A note on counting: we show 18 licensed assisted living providers listed for Fort Myers proper. Other sites show bigger numbers when they count a wide radius. Nearby options are linked below, labeled by city.
How we rank these: we don't. Sort them yourself.
Providers appear with their government data: CMS star ratings where they exist, license status, capacity, and inspection history. You can sort them yourself. Nobody pays to appear, and nobody pays to move up. If a listing says "Sponsored," a provider paid for that placement and the label says so.
Looking for a transparent sort by CMS stars, inspection records, and staffing? That is a separate data ranking, not an editorial pick.
