Assisted Living Communities in Nokomis, FL

"My dad stayed at Brookdale Palmer Ranch extended rehab for about 2 months after a fall that resulted in a pelvic fracture. The care he received was excellent, PT 5 days a week and attentive nursing. They got him back to weight bearing faster than expected. The rooms aren’t fancy but they are clean and well maintained. There were many daily activities to entertain the residents. All of the staff I met were kind, compassionate and competent. This place was by far the best of the 4 rehab facilities he has been in over the last several years. We are grateful for the care my dad received there."

"We toured Savannah Grand of Sarasota. It's very clean, small and personal. There was one-on-one attention when we got there, which was wonderful. They even gave follow-ups and showed care. The rooms were very efficient but small for what we needed. We were disappointed because we did like it there. They were a nice size if someone was going single. They were cute. Their dining is wonderful and the food was excellent. We didn't spend too much time on the activities, but from what we saw, there was plenty to do. The dining area was clean and pretty. Beth gave us a wonderful hot apple pie when we left. I said it was very, very, sweet with the extra special touch that they gave."

"I like Angels Senior Living at Sarasota. I like its location and cleanliness. The staff members were nice; I liked them. The facility itself was very clean."

"I toured Brookdale Phillippi Creek. The staff members were helpful. Everything was updated. The rooms were more modern and fairly spacious as long as it wasn't the small room, like the studio room. The other rooms for other activities and amenities were good. They have a coffee machine and places for people to sit and do things during the day. I thought it was better than the others. The people I met were very good. The food smelled good. There was a nice outside area."

"HarborChase of Sarasota is amazing, just way too expensive. This is like a five-star facility. It's a very high-end facility. It is beautiful and immaculate. It smells good. It's the Tiffany's of retail versus Target. The facility is gorgeous. The staff is top notch. We had cookies. We had popcorn and all kinds of stuff there. They have like Ruth's Chris' former chef there (that's why I said this is like the creme de la creme of places)."

"My mother has been a resident here for a year. All the staff whom I have interacted with have been caring and helpful. In particular, Lauren W. has gone above and beyond to make my mother feel at home and to assist her in many ways. I think they have a good team."

"I toured American House Sarasota. The rooms were a good size. The two meals that I had there were good. Everybody that I spoke to liked living there. The staff who toured me around were nice and friendly. They answered questions if I had them. The unit is a two-bedroom with a living room, an eating area, a kitchen, and two baths. It's nice. They have assisted living, so if someone who is independent needs it, they have it there. I don't need assistance yet, but I'm getting close to 90, so I figure that's probably the way I should go. They have exercise classes, art classes, cards, and entertainment. They have a lot of social things going on. I was impressed. The accommodation was great. The people that I spoke to were happy. They had smiles on their faces. I interviewed quite a few people. I liked the layout and it was a very clean place. The staff was friendly."

"We liked Brookdale Colonial Park a lot because everything was one on floor and it was a very big facility. When we looked at it from the outside, it didn't look that big, but when we went inside, it was huge and there was a lot to do. The sizes of the rooms were very nice. The staff were also very nice and very helpful. They already had the stuff in the room and I liked the refrigerator. Most of the places that we saw had very, very small refrigerators, but this one was maybe four feet. It was a good size and we were very impressed with that. They provide you with a microwave, too, which is very nice. The woman I met was great. She was very informative. I liked what she said, that if you're looking for champagne and chandeliers, this isn't the place, but if you're looking for a place where you're being taken care of, then this is where you want to be. I like that because we're not there for champagne and chandeliers. We're here to get the best care possible."

"We toured Heron East. They had more availability as far as two bedrooms, which is what we needed. We didn't taste the food, but the dining room was very, very nice and very clean. It didn't have any kind of odor. The rooms were spacious with more of a two-bedroom setup. The staff was wonderful and very informative. He gave us a good tour."

"I moved to Brookdale Sarasota Midtown. Everything has been pretty nice here. The staff is good. The food is good. It's a good facility."

"My husband stayed in Heron House for 5 days for respite. They did a lovely job, they were lovely, lovely people. Uniformly outstanding, caring, proficient, and professional. I was very impressed. Great communication skills. It was just altogether an impressive group. They were very generous in their suggestions. They introduced him to people. They seated him with interesting people at mealtime. And they made every effort to engage him in activities, none of which he was interested in because he's not that kind of a person. But they did a great job at trying. I had lunch there and the food was very good. It's a very nice facility, they do a good job at keeping it up. His room was very pleasant, had a lovely view, and was spacious . He didn't like the chair, but they did provide a nice recliner. I thought it was thoughtful but it wasn't his, so he didn't like it. But at that point in his dementia, he didn't like most things that were familiar."

"We toured the Grand Villa of Sarasota and were very impressed. We had a wonderful tour. The woman who showed us around was wonderful. It was very nice. We really enjoyed it. Everything looked wonderful and the rooms were nice sized."

"I like the location of Alderman Oaks Retirement Center. It was near the hospital and our physicians, so that was ideally located. You had the stores and other activities of Downtown Sarasota. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They were as good as they could be. They had a gym, a salon, and a courtyard. It's near restaurants. It's near the shopping area of Downtown Sarasota."

"I visited the community of Grand Villa of Englewood recently and really enjoyed my experience there. It's a gated community that takes security very seriously and your loved ones will be safe there. There within driving distance of downtown Englewood, beaches, restaurants, and shops so its in a very convenient location. It's very clean, and well maintained. All the staff & residents that I spoke with were all very friendly and made me feel right at home. "
