Assisted-living construction under way

FORT MYERS — Construction of Discovery Village at the Forum off Colonial Boulevard near Interstate 75 is scheduled to be completed in the fall.

The assisted-living project recently held a “topping out” of its first wing, which will consist of 30 residences for memory-impaired residents.

When it's completed, Discovery Village will also have 30 supervised independent living and 66 assisted-living residences. Besides living quarters, the facility will have on-site medical providers and recreational amenities such as an ice-cream parlor and a movie theater.
