This week we interviewed Sarah Biehl with Thrive at Beachwalk to learn what makes them such an amazing place to live. The following is adapted from Thrives website on what they offer:
Live at Thrive (Seaside of Fort Myers).
Located near the Gulf, with a vast ocean of difference from traditional senior living communities, Thrive at Beachwalk is built on the foundation that Elders deserve to do their best living right now.
At Thrive, boredom has been banished and replaced with opportunities to learn, places to explore, and new friends to meet. First among those friends will be our team members, who generally have the humor of Jerry Lewis and the charm of Clark Gable. Your loved ones will live in a community that’s modern and well-lit. And the view? Strictly primo. Their property sits beside a picturesque lake with an arcing fountain, and a secure nature trail. They’re located just off San Carlos Boulevard.
If the need for memory care arises you are going to want to meet our team. All of our team members are NIDE (National Institute for Dementia Education) certified, which is a mouthful to say, but simply means that our team members are prepared and qualified to interact with your loved one as a unique human being, not a case study. Nope, this isn’t your father’s retirement home. And thank goodness for that.
Thrive team members come to work each day to build long-lasting friendships with their Elders. Many of their key leaders bring valuable experience to our industry from other fields. Simply put, Thrive’s leaders believe that if they treat their team well, they will, in turn, love their residents well.
They have two convenient living options under one roof:
Assisted Living is ideal for residents who value their independence, but may need assistance with daily activities. Thrives community team members are raving fans of encouraging independence with assistance readily accessible at all times of the day.
Memory Care is for Elders who are living with some form of memory loss. Every member of the Thrive at Beachwalk team is NIDE (National Institute for Dementia Education) certified. That includes everyone from the chefs and housekeepers to the concierge and nurses. The education allows Thrive to interact with their memory care residents as unique individuals rather than objects in need of care. Residents are engaged with the goal of helping recapture moments of memories and the recognition of loved ones.

Many patients and their families do not consider working with a private caregiver until an emergency.
This is understandable. We all want to remain independent. Seeking a private caregiver is an easy thing to put off. Recognizing that a private caregiver is needed can also be a difficult reality to confront. It is often only when an emergency occurs that a private caregiver is even considered.
At Abby Services we can help find a caregiver after an emergency, but we encourage clients to consider having a caregiver to avoid these emergency situations.
Finding a safe effective home care worker can be challenging. However, when a short-term senior caregiver is needed we are there. We are on call 24/7 to help families in Fort Myers and Cape Coral with their emergency last-minute needs.
Our services are designed to be flexible to meet clients’ and their family’s needs. Short or long term wherever you call home we can help.
No long-term contract!

Even when our client’s needs are short-term, we can refer a professionally trained caregiver to help them remain safe and independent in their home.
At Abby Services we believe a client together with their family are the ones best suited to manage their care.
Following this philosophy, we allow and encourage families to let us know exactly what services they would like to receive from their caregiver.
Don’t worry though, you aren’t alone.
Our nurse, Scott Strachan has the experience and training to help families develop a personalized care plan that delivers stability, support, and quality of life.
Developing a client-directed care plan with clear expectations and guidelines allows your in-home care provider to receive direction from the individual who knows the patient best, you.
By developing a personalized list of patient and family expectations, direction, and information, we can help to ensure the in-home caregiver you work with has the tools necessary to be sure your loved one stays safe and independent in their home.
Here are some of the things your caregiver can assist with:
- Activities of daily living (ADL’s)
- Ambulation
- Bathing
- Dressing
- Toileting
- Feeding
- Transfers
- Monitoring for safety and assisting as necessary.
- Meal preparation
