Naples is among the most expensive senior care markets in Florida. If budget is a concern, look inland or at Fort Myers. ### Are there waiting lists? At the most popular resort-style communities, yes — especially in season. Many have openings within a few weeks. ### How does seasonal population affect care? Many communities have higher occupancy from January through April. Staffing ratios can change. Ask about year-round vs. seasonal staffing.
