CriticalReview for Sandalwood Village
This was the worst place and the worst experience I have ever had. Fire alarms, going off constantly day and night. Broken elevator for three weeks in a building that has basically cripples. Lousy food. very limited menu. Short notice cancellation of activities. dogs over the size limits. I couldn't wait to get out of there.

PositiveNice Independent Living
The pool is not cooled so my parents barely use it but pay for it. The gym & activities are good. The maintenance seem to deal with issues in a quick manner.

PositiveWonderful Independent Senior Living
My parents moved into Sandalwood in August & are finally settling into their new home. Apartments are large & with a beautiful functional kitchen. Pull emergency cords in bathrooms & bedrooms. Shuttle bus available for scheduled activities. They are meeting friends & are more social now.
★★★★★
PositiveI had a good tour experience with Sandalwood Village - it is a great place for independent living. The reason I did not choose this facility was because the bathroom and shower space was very tiny, I could barely fit. The closets were also small as well.
★★★★★
PositiveMy dad is looking at places in Naples and Sarasota due to family living there. Sandalwood is by far the best place we saw in Naples and there are a ton. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The apartments are big and have everything my dad needs. I would highly recommend this community to anyone!
