Winkler Court sits in Fort Myers, Florida, working as a non-profit skilled nursing facility with 120 certified beds and an average of 113 residents each day, and it does its best to keep things clean, comfortable, and safe for everyone who comes through the doors, which include folks with short-term rehab needs or long-term care. The building's wheelchair accessible, it's got air conditioning throughout, there's customer parking outside, and restrooms are easy to get to, so you don't have to worry about basic conveniences when you visit or stay. The staff-made up of Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, Certified Nursing Assistants, and therapists-focuses on providing skilled nursing services, restorative care, post-acute care, rehabilitation programs, palliative care, and respite care, all arranged through personalized care plans that involve both the resident and their family to make sure everyone stays on the same page.
With nurse staffing hours at 3.46 for each resident per day and a nurse turnover rate of 24.2%, the team works with an interdisciplinary approach and calls on the expertise of managers and consultants from Aegir Health Management LLC, Consulting Support Services LLC, Facility Support Company LLC, Kane Financial Services LLC, Sally Boswell, and Tina Conzelman, along with an affiliation to the Florida Institute For Long Term Care, so there's always experienced hands involved. Residents live in a supportive, enriching community where there's a variety of engaging activities, social services, nutritional services, housekeeping, and laundry, plus therapists who help with physical, occupational, and speech needs. Winkler Court aims for a home-like feel by promoting core values such as Communication, Compassion, Dignity, Empathy, Integrity, Pride, Respect, and Responsiveness, and it encourages learning and diversity among its staff to keep things growing.
The environment's kept clean and welcoming, and staff follow federal standards for infection control, though there have been past inspection reports finding a total of 40 deficiencies, including three infection-related ones and deficiencies around resident rights and environmental safety-like F0578 about residents' right to refuse treatment, participation in research, and advance directives, with potential but no actual harm found, as well as F0921 regarding safety, clarity, cleanliness, and comfort, again with no actual harm but potential to affect many. The most recent inspection from April 24, 2025, cited 13 deficiencies, one related to infection control. Staff offer complementary services such as activities, dietary support, and help with daily needs, while specialized clinical programs support recovery, and everyone-from caregivers to management-strives to be responsive to what residents, patients, and families need day-to-day. Winkler Court doesn't claim to be perfect, but it does provide nursing, long-term care, restorative programs, and a community where experienced professionals work every day to help residents live as well as they can.
