Janet 2021-01-28 It's quite large, but it's beautiful. There are lots of shades. One of the things that we liked about it was the two units that we saw. They had direct entrances from the outside so you could walk out of the unit. It had access to the rest of the campus directly from the unit itself. We did not see any of the interior like the dining room or any of that part because of the COVID. It's not a very good time to move into an assisted living facility because they're not doing any of their group things yet. They were still delivering meals to people in their residence. I can have that right at home. We're living in 1,800 square feet and that's more like 800 square feet, so it would be another big downsize for us. The staff was charming. I only saw two units in one building, so it is hard to give an overall impression. They do not have a memory unit yet, but they're finishing that, and that's up there in the building we were in. What we saw was very nice. I visited this facility

Andrea 2019-08-01 It was very nice and had large rooms. We wouldn't have to give up many of our things. The staff was great, and the facilities were nice and pretty much brand new. The food was really nice. They had a nice dining facility and had clubs. I visited this facility

Charlotte 2019-03-23 We liked it, but it was too busy. There were people in wheelchairs and walkers and it felt too much like an old place, but it was very nice. We liked the person who showed us around. The rooms were very nice. It was a lovely facility. I visited this facility

Inquisitive Daughter-in-law 2016-02-26 It was pleasant. They were efficient, very attending, and helped me with all the things I needed to know. Everything was very nice. I was in a hurry, and looked at the community quickly; just the front area. I didn’t see the full facility. I only picked up a flyer, and looked around. There was a Christmas party; which was very nice, and I watched for a bit then left. I visited this facility

Serious Visitor 2015-12-17 It was very nice and picturesque, with a lot of outdoor space. It had a nice swimming pool and deck area, and many of the apartments/rooms looked out over the interior area. It had the advantage of being located in Central Sarasota, which is a very nice place to live. They did have available two-bedroom, two-bath apartments, which my wife and myself were looking for. I visited this facility

Richard114140750 2015-09-29 It looked very good. It had been around for several years. They have a lot of activities. I saw people at the fitness center, and I saw people sitting around reading or watching TV. Everybody seemed to be enjoying themselves. The dining room looked very nice. I visited this facility

Patricia112228150 2015-08-27 It had been redone. All the public areas were fresh, clean, and very nice. The food was good. I thought the apartment I saw was a bit small, and it seemed old. I think the units have to be updated. I visited this facility

Kurt2 2013-11-21 My mother is a resident for 2 months now. Everything has been great. She is in the assisted living area, in her own apartment, with a large bedroom and closets. The staff is caring and attentive. They have numerous activities in their calendar too. It's an old building and slightly outdate but still a clean and nice facility. I visited this facility

Greg5 2013-07-25 The maintenance guy gave me the tour when I visited. They only had one unit available and it was really far away. I visited this facility

Carmenca 2013-06-12 I liked it. It's a better place than the other ones. It's cleaner, bigger and a little better. It's both an assisted and independent living facility. The reason we visited this place is because my husband needed it because he just had a stroke. The rooms are small. I visited this facility

liesje 2011-08-12 It has both Assisted living and Independent living. Assisted living is primarily on the third floor. Assistance is readily offered at the staff's convenience, but no one is posted where they can be hailed. The apartments are kept relatively clean. But refrigerators are not cleaned inside. Medications are dispensed as needed. Activitiesare available for those motivated to attend. Meals areattractively served and varied. I visited this facility

Page 2019-07-03 My mother is in Sarasota. The staff is very good. It's been a very good experience. The rooms, the amenities, and the activities are excellent. I like everything about it. It's just what she needs. The dining area is very nice, and the food is very good. They have a pool. There are too many things to list, and it's all great. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Sue121674650 2016-03-30 It was farther from us, and we want to avoid the Bee Ridge area because the traffic right now is terrible. There was nothing bad about it, the people were pleasant, fairly unremarkable, and sort of forgettable. There were no views from the room, and my mother in law would not look at the parking lot. It’s more urban and there were not a lot of grounds. It looked clean and homey, but not grand. I visited this facility

Renee33 2016-03-22 I visited. It had all the activities I was looking for, but there was something missing. I was not clear on where the entrance was, and when I walked in, I wasn’t greeted right away. Then, the person I was supposed to see was tied up even though I had called the night before and in the morning before I went and still I had to wait. So, I did not feel like I was a priority. I did see some apartments that I liked. They had studios to two bedrooms. The pool was outside, and it was not enclosed. I visited this facility

Jeff37 2015-05-12 It is an excellent community. It goes above and beyond the call of duty. The room is about 300sq. ft, and it is set up quite well homey. The food is excellent. They have bingo nights, bridge nights, trips to various places around town, and mall visits. My mother doesn’t have a car anymore; she gets driven to wherever she wants to go. I visited this facility

Nancy104646450 2015-01-21 It was a very nice facility. We saw the one-bedroom apartment, and it was very roomy. The staff was very nice and helpful. They had activities like bingo, arts, and crafts. I visited this facility

Dell1 2015-01-12 It was just absolutely gorgeous. People were around. There were activities going on. It was just a friendly beautiful place. They have a 7-acre lake, and all of the units face the water. It was just beautiful; you would never know you're in the middle of the city. In the lobby, they had a jewelry show going on. A day before, they had an art show going on. It was lively. It looked like you're in a Marriot Hotel because they had open floor plants. It was clean. It was bright and cheerful. We were very impressed. The rooms were nice and large. You had a little patio. The people on the second floor had a lanai. We looked at a two-bedroom unit. The main master bedroom was beautiful, bright, and sunny. It had a large closet and a nice bathroom. The facility did have a small kitchen. There, they would give you two meals. The dining room was beautiful. Everybody was very friendly and polite. I visited this facility

Bob96303650 2014-11-29 My partner and I have been here several times. She has a long time friend that is a resident there, and it’s a lovely facility. The woman has a two bedroom apartment. We have been there for dinner several times, and the food was excellent. The service is very good, and the staff was very nice. I visited this facility

Julie40 2014-08-29 We have decided to move my mom here. What we found for her is an independent living apartment. They were much more spacious than any of the other apartments that we saw in other community. That was one of the reasons why we chose it and also, there is no buy-in fee and we also like that. We tried their food and it is like restaurant dining -- lots of choices and nicely prepared. They offer a lot of activities like bingo and movies. They have a card room, exercise room, as well as physical therapy on site. They also have a free Wi-Fi in the building. I visited this facility

5 5 1

Caring RO 2013-08-15 It is a very lovely facility. The staff was very helpful and very pleasant at the time of my visit. They have little cottages that have a lake view. They also have a building that is like a one-story connected apartment building around the lake and it is just lovely. With regards to their apartments, all I can say is that they have utilized every single bit of space in a very creative way. I visited this facility

5 4 1

Caring1551 2013-06-07 The place was very neat. The housing was very nice but it was too small for us. We would have gone as a couple. There wasn't much staff around when we visited the place and it seems that there wasn't much activity for the residents there also. We never actually saw anybody interacting with any body else. I visited this facility

Caring 8781 2013-04-16 We saw this community and my husband liked it, but I didn't care it. They had assisted living and everything right there, but the big area where they congregated had some kind of smell to it, and I wasn't too crazy about that. Their dining room area was quite small too. I visited this facility
