fresh eggs, collected
by residents each morning
from sunrise to stories
No gym, no rows of chairs. Movement hides inside ordinary life, with space for fresh air, familiar faces and a little joy.
7:00
Breathwork and stretching on the grass, barefoot if you like.
9:00
Collect eggs, water the beds, pick fruit for lunch. Bending, carrying, balancing: real-life strength.
10:30
Playful balance games with scarves, balls and music. It feels like fun, and it builds strength.
12:30
One long table, food from the garden, conversations that go on.
19:00
Storytelling nights, music and quiet company as the sun goes down.
the Verve way
Fruit trees, raised beds and a flock of hens. Time outdoors is part of the schedule, not a treat.
Balance, strength and coordination hidden inside games, music and dance. Caregivers are trained to bring it into every hour.
Eggs from our hens and vegetables from our beds, cooked in an open kitchen everyone can wander into.
Balance, walking and strength are checked regularly, so families can see the difference.
one home, two paths
ACTIVE LIVING
RECOVERY TRANSITION
Planned offerings for our 2027 opening. Care arrangements and suitability will be discussed with each family.
where we are
Just north of the Caloosahatchee River in North Fort Myers, between open pasture and the Gulf Coast. Far enough for birdsong, close enough for family visits and hospital follow-ups.
why Verve exists
For years as a physical therapist in nursing homes, I saw the same scene: elastic bands, no music, no meaning, and people who slowly stopped trying. Recovery was treated as a chore, and strength faded while people sat still.
Verve House is my answer: a home where you get stronger while you garden, cook, dance and laugh with friends. Every routine is shaped by a physical therapist, so the fun has a purpose.
