Editorial standards

Where do Fort Myers Senior Advisor's facts come from?

Each regulatory statement cites the Florida statute or rule behind it; cost figures come from CareScout's 2025 Florida release; Medicaid figures from DCF's April 2026 standards; population figures from Census Bureau Vintage 2025 estimates; PACE figures from AHCA's August 2026 report; and life plan community data from OIR's October 2025 map.

• Florida Statutes, ch. 429, Part I: assisted living facilities
• Florida Statutes s. 429.076: the 2026 memory care services license

What will Fort Myers Senior Advisor not publish?

Anything we cannot trace to a primary source stays off the site, and that includes reviews, testimonials, scores of our own and facility details that do not appear in AHCA, CMS or OIR records.

• A Fort Myers or Lee County price median, because CareScout's Florida release reports statewide figures only.
• A memory care price of any kind, because no survey we can cite measures it.
• A star or letter grade for any assisted living facility, because neither Florida nor CMS issues one.
• Entrance or monthly fees for life plan communities, because OIR does not publish them.
• Amenities, menus or staff claims copied from a facility's own marketing.

How often is the directory refreshed?

The directory is rebuilt from AHCA's locator, profiles and inspection histories (retrieved November 6, 2026) and CMS's Provider Information dataset (data as of October 1, 2026) each time the fetch script runs.

Each listing page shows its source and data date, and a page's date in our sitemap changes only when its content changes.

How are ratings and enforcement records shown?

CMS ratings appear exactly as CMS publishes them, with the data date, and only for CMS-certified nursing homes; AHCA's inspection citations and sanctions are reproduced as AHCA lists them, with dates.

Comparisons on facility pages, such as whether staffing hours are above the Lee County median, are simple arithmetic on published figures and say what they are compared with. Self-reported AHCA fields, like the memory care program flag, are labelled as self-reported.

How do I ask for a correction?

Email advisors@fortmyerssenioradvisor.com with the page and the correction; operators may ask us to fix how their data is displayed, but the records themselves come from AHCA, CMS and OIR and must be corrected with those agencies.

Corrections about Florida rules or benefit amounts are checked against the statute or agency page before anything changes.
