  We hadn’t seen ourselves as needing - or near ready for - a move to Senior housing (both healthy and active in our early 80s), but Vi at Bentley Village has worked out far better than we expected. We liked what we saw of its grounds and facilities on our first tour, and, although we knew no one in the community, making new friends and sharing life experiences with interesting people proved easy – and rewarding. Our family and we knew very soon after our move that it was the right call – and Bentley Village was the right place for us. Rather than slowing down and settling into a sedentary lifestyle, we’ve become - mentally and physically - fully participating residents. Independent Living in a CCRC is so much less stressful when you know that, if and when you need more assistance, it has already been arranged. The ‘Bentley phase’ of our lives is proving to be far more beneficial than expected. Fitness Center classes, Personal Training sessions, golf rounds at its 18-hole par-3 course, and walks and biking on its paths around its numerous lakes challenges and satisfys all our physical needs. It's regular FGCU lectures and other presentations, and serving as a Trustee on the Bentley Foundation to promote and fund its scholarship programs and campus/community outreach programs, has been fulfilling. Being closely involved in initiating a scholarship Grant Program with the North Collier Fire Academy and Florida Southwestern State to train, educate, and qualify firefighters/EMTs to serve both the Bentley Village campus and the broader community in Collier County as First Responders has been a very rewarding endeavor, particularly as the Bentley Village residents have rallied to financially support this as a community outreach program. Trite as the expression is on tee shirts, at Bentley Village the expression is apt - “Life is Good”.

  I am a professional in the wealth management and corporate fiduciary services area. Over my 20+ career, we have worked with many clients who have called Vi at Bentley Village home. We have assisted the family in evaluating all options for their own aging plans, and Bentley Village has been a wonderful solution for many of them and their families. The staff is warm and caring - with many of them having a long tenure at Bentley Village. I highly encourage you to consider this wonderful community as an option for you or your loved one!

  We moved to Bentley Village in January 2025. We chose Bentley Village after visiting multiple continuing Care retirement communities in Southwest Florida. While not necessarily the most affordable, Bentley Village offered what we considered more bang for the buck. Starting with the variety of floor plans and pricing coupled with the dining options, and campus layout to include an18 hole par three golf course. Bentley Village offered all the amenities that we desired. One significant event was when we were going through the orientation, Bentley Village had residences who shared their experience and why they chose Bentley Village. No other retirement community we visited provided that experience. Hearing directly from those who actually live here was extremely helpful in making our decision. Starting with the sales staff who were able to answer every question and provide knowledgeable answers to the moving planners and all those involved in us getting settled everything was first class. During the last 18 months that we have lived in Bentley Village things have all gotten better. There are five different dining locations each with a full and different menu. Activities include everything from tennis to playing cards.There is virtually something here for everyone. The activities are too numerous to name them all but there is something for everyone. In the 18 months that we have lived here, we have met many residents through dining experiences or activities. We have virtually met no one who has expressed a regret for choosing to live here. We cannot praise the staff enough. Every staff member that we have met or dealt with has been first class. They go out of their way to answer questions and provide excellent service. As a veteran, I am personally Involved with the Bentley Village Veterans Association, which does an excellent job in bringing Bentley Village Veterans together for a variety of events. In summary, we feel blessed to have decided to live here and would highly recommend anyone considering a continuing care retirement community to give Bentley village an opportunity to show What they have to offer.

  I have lived at Bentley for over 2 years and I couldn’t be happier. We have 150 acres to explore and enjoy - golf, birding, walking. Our fitness center is exceptional - always helping us advance ourselves both physically and mentally. People - Management, staff and residents are very warm and inviting. It’s an amazingly comforting and relaxing, fun community. Food - we have 3 restaurants and a bistro. There are weekly and daily menus - with incredibly diverse offerings. F&B is very open to suggestions and want to give you the healthiest, best food they can to keep us healthy and happy. Management is very open - we have a resident council to act as liaison and give us all up to date feedback on everything. All health facilities are very new and up to date. We are very well taken care of during hurricane season, always kept up to date on weather events and get us out of here if necessary. Can you tell - I’m very happy here!! BT

  I’ve lived here at Vi at Bentley Village for five years and love every minute of it! I enjoy all the amenities, including golfing, lectures, movies, performances- all right here at Bentley! The best part is the opportunity to make life long friends to celebrate life with you. I highly recommend this senior community. Just remember to come while you’re young and can take advantage of all the wonderful activities here.
