Gulf Coast Village is proud to be recognized as a 2026 Community Choice Awards winner in two Cape Coral categories: Retirement/55+ Community and Memory Care.
For us, these awards mean something special. Gulf Coast Village has been part of Cape Coral since 1989. For nearly four decades, this community has been more than the place where we work, it is our home. As a mission-based, nonprofit organization and the only Life Plan Community in Cape Coral, we have had the privilege of growing alongside our city while serving generations of older adults and their families.
Being recognized by the community we have called home for so many years makes this honor especially meaningful.
Celebrating Two Areas of Our Community
Debra Clark, Independent Living Administrator, accepted the award recognizing Gulf Coast Village as a Community Choice Award winner for Retirement/55+ Community in Cape Coral.
As Cape Coral’s only Life Plan Community, Gulf Coast Village offers residents the opportunity to enjoy an active, engaging retirement lifestyle with the added peace of mind that comes from having a continuum of care available on one campus. From friendships, activities and wellness to dining and community involvement, our goal is to create a place where residents can thrive and truly feel at home.
Carol Schneider, Director of Sales and Marketing, attended the awards celebration to accept the Memory Care in Cape Coral award on behalf of Palmview, our assisted living and memory care community at Gulf Coast Village.
At Palmview, our team has the privilege of supporting residents and families through different stages of aging. Memory care is deeply personal, and this recognition reflects the compassion, dedication and commitment our associates bring to the residents they serve each day.
A Mission That Goes Beyond Senior Living
As a nonprofit organization, our work at Gulf Coast Village has always been rooted in mission. Our focus is not simply on providing a place to live, but on enriching the lives of the people we serve and making a meaningful difference in the greater Cape Coral community.
That mission is carried forward every day by the associates, volunteers, residents, families and community partners who make Gulf Coast Village what it is.
Cape Coral Is Home
A lot has changed since Gulf Coast Village first became part of Cape Coral in 1989, but one thing has remained constant: our commitment to this community.
Over the years, thousands of residents, family members, associates, volunteers, local businesses and community partners have become part of the Gulf Coast Village story. They have helped shape who we are today.
That is why being selected as a Community Choice Award winner in two categories feels like more than receiving an award. It is a reminder of the trust our community has placed in us and the relationships we have been fortunate to build over nearly four decades.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who voted, to the residents and families who choose Gulf Coast Village and Palmview, and especially to our associates who bring our mission to life every day.
Cape Coral has been our home since 1989. As its only Life Plan Community, we are proud of our history here and even more excited about the years of service, connection and community still ahead.
