Memory Care Reviews for Poet's Walk Sarasota

September 15, 2020

By Kathryn

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

I'm very pleased with everything at Poet's Walk Sarasota. They are being very careful with the pandemic that's going on. They're taking good care of the people, keeping them active, which is good, and they take care of their medication. Their chef is a Cordon Bleu-trained chef so they're getting good food. All in all, I'm very happy with them so far. The people there are wonderful, they're so caring, loving, and kind. I had to provide all the furniture for my husband's room. The building is just very nice and well landscaped; it's a pretty building. The activities seem to be very good. Everything is too expensive, but it is what it is, and it's in line with the other communities in my location, so I can't complain about that.

I visited this facility

Poet's Walk Sarasota is fairly new, pleasant, light, and attractive. The personnel seemed to be friendly and the staff who toured me around was very good. The dining area was nice. The rooms were good-sized and they have a craft area.

Provider Response

About Poet's Walk Sarasota

A Fresh Approach to Memory Care

Memory Care Facilities that Put People First

The person-centered approach: That’s what makes every Poet’s Walk memory care location one of the premier memory care facilities in the country. We believe in holistic care that intrigues the mind, moves the body and inspires the spirit. The result is a positive community of residents and caretakers focused on quality living.

Our state-of-the-art facilities offer indoor and outdoor settings for hobbies, recreation and quality time with loved ones. Private apartment options give individuals an independent lifestyle, while nursing is available on a 24-hour basis.

Care Flowers

The Care Flowers philosophy in our Spring Cottage Memory Care Environment is a successful communication tool for care partners and family members. These designations help everyone have the best possible interactions with residents as they are in the present. It is an especially useful tool so family members can understand how to approach and interact when their loved one is acting in unfamiliar ways. The Care Flower system consciously avoids negative language or overtones throughout the residence.

Residents are identified as a rose, daisy, iris, violet, or morning glory based on their unique characteristics, preferences and abilities. This approach is centered on every individual’s abilities, emotions and cognitive capacities—not their impairments or disease.
