Recent reviews of Assisted Living in Sarasota County, FL
Venice Green Village
4.9

My mother has been at Venice Green Village for over a year. It gives me peace if mind to know my mother is being well cared for. Her health has actually improved now that she's eating better and gets her medication at the proper times.

Brookdale Palmer Ranch in Sarasota, FL
4.0

I would reccomend Brookdale Palmer Ranch to others, with a couple of provisions. If the person in question can get around on there own and likes to go outside, then another location would be better. A place with a secure outside area. Do not use a location that caters to memory care only. If at all possible, make the living quarters private, not shared. Pick a place that is bright, not dim. If the person in question can be moved to a location where family can visit on a regular basis, by all means do so.

Heron East in Sarasota, FL
5.0

We moved our father into Heron East and we were surprised at how the staff went over and above to make him feel comfortable and cared for. The move in was easy, the food is great and he has made some new friends.
