Residents share what surprised them most about making the move.
Living at The Terraces at Bonita Springs can feel a lot like living in a resort. Mediterranean-inspired architecture, beautifully landscaped courtyards, chef-prepared dining, an indoor pool, and a full calendar of activities are all part of daily life.
But ask residents what stands out most, and the answers often come down to something simpler: the people, the convenience and the confidence they made the right move.
A Warm Welcome From Day One
For Lisa Fazio, that feeling began during her first visit to The Terraces."One of the things that really hit me was everybody that we met smiled, was pleasant and was welcoming," she said. "You don't get that everywhere."The welcoming atmosphere made an immediate impression, helping Lisa and her husband envision a future filled with connection, friendship, and opportunities to stay engaged.
While the resort-style amenities were appealing, the financial side of the decision was equally important.
After taking a closer look at the costs of maintaining their previous lifestyle, Fazio and her husband discovered that moving to The Terraces made practical financial sense."
"After meeting with our financial planner, we found we were actually saving money moving to The Terraces," she said. "It's the best decision my husband and I ever made!"
By eliminating many of the expenses and responsibilities that came with home ownership, residents can focus more on enjoying life and less on maintaining it.
Everything You Need, All Under One Roof
For resident Barbara Nalbone, the convenience of having everything in one place is one of The Terraces' greatest advantages.
"The fact that it's all under one roof is the number one selling point," Nalbone said. "I never have to get in the car or a golf cart to drive to dinner!"
That convenience makes it easy to meet friends, attend programs, exercise, enjoy activities, or simply spend time together without navigating between multiple buildings. The result is an effortless, connected lifestyle where everything is just steps away.
Resort-Style Living With Lasting Peace of Mind
The Terraces is also a Life Plan Community, offering residents valuable peace of mind for the future. Should healthcare needs change over time, residents have access to rehabilitation, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing right on campus.
Couples can also remain close to one another, even if different levels of living become necessary, providing comfort and continuity for both residents and their families.
As an affiliate of Acts Retirement-Life Communities, The Terraces combines the atmosphere and amenities of a boutique resort with the security of having a plan for the future.
For residents like Fazio and Nalbone, some of the greatest benefits are the ones they experience every day: friendly faces, delicious dining, an active social life, and the freedom to enjoy it all without ever getting in the car.
