So Happy!!

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

An extension of our family

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.

Gold Standard for Memory Care

Poet's Walk Sarasota is a Memory Care Community that offers thoughtful, dependable and supportive care to their residents. The building is beautifully decorated and has several outdoor spaces that allow residents the opportunity to safely take in sun and nature. Poet's walk wonderful staff receive monthly trainings regarding Alzheimer's and Dementia care, which gives them the tools to understand and empathize with residents and their loved ones. Compassionate care can be observed in all aspects from nursing and wellness, activities, dining, maintenance and housekeeping. Providing outstanding quality of care for your loved one everyday is their mission. Poet's Walk may not be the perfect fit for your loved one, but it's worth taking a tour to find out.

Incredibly caring staff!

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!

Not the Care I Expected

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.

Poet’s Walk Was Not a Good Choice For Us

My husband was a resident for 5 days in January 2019. I brought him home due to lack of care. His medications were given incorrectly more than once, he was left unattended to shower by himself and a Plan of Care was not established. Poet’s Walk did not live up to their contractual agreement so as his advocate and wife I brought him home. I would not recommend Poet’s Walk.

Kudos to Poet's Walk Sarasota

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.
