Memory Care Communities in Sarasota, FL

"We dropped by to see this community a few weeks ago. We did not chose this particular Brookdale assisted living because we wanted bigger space for my husband and I. But the really nice lady who runs the place was very compassionate and knew what she was talking about. I didn't feel like she was just selling to fill her building. The place was warm and inviting from the moment I walked in the door. There were no odors on my visit and the residents looked clean and well cared for. If it had been just me, I would have moved in, but the space was too tight for two of us in the beautiful one bedroom I was shown. I would definitely recommend this community. We currently reside at another Brookdale place. "

"The Fountains of Hope Assisted Living and Memory Care was more institutional than the others. There were a lot of people, a lot of rooms, and a lot of hallways. My dad would have been confused and walking all over the place. They're really sweet, though, and all of the staff was great. They were smiling at us. Just as far as the establishment goes and how they run the business, it was more institutional to me. It was just too large so my dad wouldn't have gotten the personal care that he deserves. We toured their memory care and the person who assisted us gave us the information we needed in a concise fashion so we were appropriately pleased during our visit. The rooms were nice too but there's a thing where you had to bring your own furniture. I think that was another big thing for us. It wouldn't have been a big deal because I have plenty of furniture but there are criteria for the furniture you bring in because they don't want the residents falling or tripping on them. They also have a thing where when you first go in there, everything is treated as though it's infected and everything you bring is going to be cleaned."

"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."

"My mom has been at Liana for over year. I couldn't be more pleased with the care she receives. The staff are so kind and caring. The personal attn my mom receives has been a blessing. The meals are delicious, and healthy. This is a very clean, safe environment. There are other residents that my mom is able to interact with. This has been the best decision for my mothers care. I would recommend Liana to anyone looking for the best care, and a good environment for they're loved one."

"Heron Club is absolutely gorgeous. The staff is fun, very friendly, welcoming, playful, absolutely delightful, and engaging. They are ready to answer any questions you might have. The apartments were outstanding, beautiful, fresh, clean, and bright, and most of them were totally refurbished. They have beautiful hallways. "

"Mother has been here for two months now. I chose it because of the amount of activities that they have and it's a memory care unit only. My mom is rarely in her room because they keep her out and get involved in everything like exercises, different games and TV time. The environment is great. It is always clean. The food is top notch. The staff is very welcoming, friendly and caring. My mom is happy there. "

"We chose Elan Manatee Assisted Living & Memory Care for my mother. She will be moving there. The room sizes were nice. The kitchenette area was important to us. It seems that everybody that we saw and all of the residents there were very happy and very active in their day. We use that as a barometer for how my mom would feel in that community. The person that assisted us was very professional, very nice, very helpful. They just had a nice array of different activities that the residents could participate in. They were doing some exercises. We like to see that. They had some people reading in the lounge area and some people were playing cards."

"Inspired Living at Lakewood Ranch was beautiful, clean, and very nice. Everything was great. The staff during the tour was very good. I have no issues with them at all. They answered all our questions. The dining area was lovely. They were having a singer, little snacks, and something to drink, and they were dancing and singing a song. It was very nice. It's easily accessible to get around."

"My dad moved to Inspired Living Hidden Lakes. The price was pretty good, and everything they did seemed pretty thorough. They had a lot of different stuff they said and looked into. They put some thought into how they arrange the place and things like that. So, I thought they were pretty thorough in terms of their approach to it. I'm impressed with a lot of the staff. They are friendly. Sometimes they have a little trouble getting my dad in the bed. They set up my dad's TV. The way these places go, it was a pretty good deal."

"I spoke with a woman at Brookdale Bradenton Gardens. She was extremely pleasant and gave me the impression that there was extreme care about the people who will reside at Brookdale. She was very interested in the well-being of their neighbors (as she would refer to them). The facility was immaculate and clean. Everybody I met as far as their residents were extremely pleasant. Their dining room was immaculate, and the tables were well spaced because of COVID. You could smell the disinfectant, and I could tell that somebody just cleaned. The place looked immaculate. It was clean as a whistle. The layout was up-to-date as far as a suite is concerned. They had cooking facility there, a refrigerator, a huge bathroom, walk-in shower, and TV. It had an excellent view out the window into a courtyard. Everything looked immaculate and well kept; it was better than most of the hotel suites I've ever stayed in all my years of travel. When you pull up to the entrance, it's laid out where everybody has a beautiful view. They had a garden with absolutely fantastic gardening effects with trees, palm trees, and oaks. It was beautiful, and I don't usually use that word as a man about anything. It was absolutely stunning."

"I visited this facility to see my grandfather who had dimentia. He was cared for very well and the staff looked after him very closely, but developed a relationship with him that was very important to him and to us. His room was clean and organized. The facility was clean and did not smell badly. The facility has plenty for the residents to do, including an in house barber shop. "

"The Goldton reminds me of a cruise ship, beautifully decorated.All the staff are friendly, helpful, and happy. FOOD is excellent, care is great. My mom is in assisted living and love's IT. I don't have to worry about her, I know she is in great hands. Best part very reasonable for the care she is getting. Highly, highly recommend. Thank you Goldton for your great service."

"Building great, clean, food spectacular staff top notch."

"My wife is in Liana Venice. I'm happy with it. It is strictly a memory care unit. They have the right level of medical care and 24-hour nurses plus the nurse practitioner, so they can handle adjusting the meds as time goes on for the memory care person. That's the reason why I picked them among other things, that they're only a few years old and the place is very nice. They've got a great chef and the people that I've met, the administration and the nurses and everything is just fantastic. They have entertainment coming in, they have several large TVs around the place that people can watch during the day, and they play cards. I don't know about the other activities because my wife hasn't been there long enough. I can't believe how great the staff is. It's a good value when I compare it to other places that also charge the same amount or more and have less qualified medical care. It's new, well kept, clean, and doesn't smell. I haven't sampled the food, but they have a chef there and the menus that I've seen seemed to be pretty good. She hasn't complained and that's something in itself, but that's just particular to her, I don't know for anybody else."
