Morningside House holds a special place in my heart. My husband is a bit unique in that he’s younger and although he has advanced cognitive impairment he is incredibly fit and physically active. I hesitated for a long time to place him in a memory care community because I didn’t believe his needs for physical activity which for him is critical to his happiness, could be met in a large group setting where many may be not as active as he is. In fact, as I toured several communities in the area I found my concern was legitimate and I learned the most important factor to consider in choosing a memory care community is the team behind the facility. [name removed], [name removed], [name removed], and [name removed] are that team! Once I met them I realized they’d make all the difference in my husband’s quality of life because they are dedicated to meeting the needs of each individual at Morningside House. Maybe it’s because they’re used to meeting the needs of the several high functioning men who reside here or the fac... Read more

This is a wonderful place. They are so kind and caring and willing to help in any way they can. Love the small size of the patients and ratio of staff to patients.

September 18, 2020Dear Bob, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a positive review!
We really a great experience there. Poet's Walker specialized in only Memory Care and that value was huge to us. And what we got in return was far more then what we expected. We felt really safe there because this is what they did and what they did well. And for the first time, in a long , I felt my dad was safe ,cared for, and his needs were understood.. I feel that we couldn't have been in a better place for my dad's last few months of his life. They really contributed to my dad's journey. The nurses and the aids were comforting and peaceful and it just felt like the natural place to be. It was truly a natural experience for our family. I believe God gets you to where you need to be, and I believe God got us the Poet's Walk.

September 18, 2020Dear Carla, Thank you for taking the team to leave us your feedback and positive review. We appreciate your support!
Wonderful, beautiful new memory care facility, very well managed with an amazingly caring staff providing great support for residents. The only facility I've found where both spouses can stay together even if only one qualifies for memory care. After now having my parents here nearly a year, I can't emphasize enough how resident focused the staff are! So many staff members I've spoken with have experienced a relative who lived with Alzheimer's that it's obvious their work here represents a sense of mission for them.....and it truly shows through the sense of joy and caring they show for the residents on a daily basis!

June 24, 2019Dear Dave, Thank you for your enthusiastic review. We appreciate your support and hope it will help others looking for this kind of care.
My husband was a resident at Poet's Walk for 5 days in January 2019. I brought him home due to lack of good, quality care. He was left to shower unattended, his medication was given incorrectly at least twice and a Plan of Care was not established. Poet's Walk did not live up to their contractual agreement so I brought him home. I would not recommend Poet's Walk for your loved one.

The staff and the care they provide to their residents and families at Poet's Walk Sarasota are exemplary. To a person, I have found the staff to be knowledgeable and compassionate. This beautiful new memory care community is a jewel in the crown of Sarasota Assisted Living. Led by Executive Director, [name removed], staff goes the distance to make every person that walks through their door feel welcome and at home. The community itself is modern and very attractive, but the care and competency exuded by the staff is what makes Poet's Walk a wonderful community. I would be happy to have a family member reside in this community.

Although not completed, the layout is resident friendly. This place boasts their resident centric care, individualized for the specific needs of the resident. This facility is Alzheimer/dementia exclusive.
