    Review Summary

    The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.

    Shell Point Retirement Community receives mixed reviews, highlighting its extensive amenities, beautiful location, and variety of living options, but also noting some concerns, particularly in the area of communication and care in more dependent living situations.

    • The community is praised for its large size, luxury options, and variety of amenities including golf, canoeing, kayaking, multiple dining options, and proximity to a hospital. Independent living units are described as spacious, with some over 2000 square feet.
    • Residents and visitors appreciate the wide range of activities available, from sports like tennis and pickleball to creative outlets such as woodworking, pottery, and art studios.

    • However, some reviews express concerns about the level of care and communication, particularly in the memory care and assisted living sections. One review details inconsistent visitation for a resident's spouse and lack of follow-through on communication promises, suggesting a potential issue with staffing or management attention to resident and family needs.

    • The community's location and the quality of its facilities are consistently praised, with many noting the beauty of the campus, the quality of the food, and the variety of housing options available, from small studios to large three-bedroom units.
    • Some reviews, however, mention challenges with the administration and a perceived focus on a specific clientele, which may affect the sense of community for some residents.

    Overall, Shell Point Retirement Community is recommended for its amenities, location, and variety of activities and living options, but potential residents may want to inquire about care levels, communication practices, and waitlist policies.
