Upside+ Sarasota

Upside+ Home Managers regularly organize meet-up events at our apartments and in the community for members who are interested. (No pressure!) We organize reservations to favorite local restaurants so Upside+ members can enjoy a meal and like-minded companionship. We get to know the interests of our members’ interests and curate activities, outings and events that cater to the way they want to spend time.

Adults who choose Upside+ are generally 55+ and interested in an environment where they can live independently while getting in-home care, meals, light housekeeping, laundry service and access to amenities. They are looking for an alternative to traditional senior living where they may feel restricted. Many of our Upside+ members have family members who do not live in town, or their adult children are busy raising families and cannot provide the daily care needed to maintain a healthy lifestyle, mind and body. They appreciate that Upside+ is discreet – and they can choose a luxury apartment with all the amenities. Upside+ members have a range of interests, and their virtual personal concierge/care coordinator can arrange events, socials and outings. They can age gracefully in place and even explore new interests now that there is no burden of housekeeping, lawn care, cooking, errands and even walking the dog.

Transportation packages allow you to ride for free with your Upside+ membership – and if you do not want to go out, you can get free grocery delivery, escorts to meals and activities, and personal shopping. Upside+ offers another layer of service and support on top of the general Upside membership.

If you have a cat or dog, there are Upside+ homes that offer play spaces, walking paths, and even pet wash stations. If it’s pouring down rain and you don’t want to walk your dog, reach out to your Home Manager. We’ll take care of it. Upside+ offers free pet care with membership.

Traditional senior living often boxes residents into smaller apartments with the trade-off of common spaces like game rooms, cafeterias, and exercise facilities. At Upside+, we’re different. Your common area depends on the luxury apartment building you choose. Most of our homes offer courtyards with greenspace, walking paths, fitness facilities, clubhouses with common rooms and cafes, and swimming pools. All of them provide accessible parking, in-home laundry, modern appliances and finishes, and on-site security.

Upside+ members get twice-daily visits from a certified nursing assistant (CNA) who is available eight hours daily for check-ins and a la carte visits, too., plus the following services: - Medication reminders - Safety checks - Escorts to meals/activities - Meal preparation - Gourmet meal pick-up & delivery - Free grocery delivery - Mail and newspaper delivery - Assistance with everyday needs, on-site and on-demand - Pet care - Dog walking - Cat litter help - Light housework - Laundry service - Change bed linen - Transportation - Shopping/errands

All Upside+ homes have updated security technologies, are pre-screened to be safe and have controlled access. The communities have on-site security either at night or full-time. Plus, our members have access to a Home Manager who can provide check-ins for peace of mind. Plus, with a certified nursing assistant (CNA) available eight hours a day, seven days a week, there’s the added support and peace of mind of a certified healthcare professional on site.
