Sarabella Senior Living

[name removed] and [name removed] are super helpful. The community is beautiful and staff members are helpful. The dining room looks like a restaurant and the activities seem fun for residents. I would be happy to have my family here

I’ve toured several places in the Sarasota/Venice area and Sarabella stands out above them all. It’s a comfortable place that feels more like home than a facility. The staff I have observed obviously care about the residents. When you see staff calling residents by name as they greet them while walking down the hall, see servers remembering little things about resident’s preferences while taking their meal order time after time, hear residents praise those who care for them, you know Sarabella is doing things right.

I was told many times that something would happen, but that wasn't communicated to the right people and so it didn't. The yard is beautiful, activities are great, staff is very friendly and food is very good. The only downside is a lack of communication between care admin's and their respective staff. Potential residents should ask for specifics for what their own personal care plan will look like and then hold them to it!!

The community is beautiful, bright and open with luxury outdoor areas to experience. The staff are friendly and always smiling. They have up to 7 activities a day to choose from and they even hosted their own Summer Olympics. The food is also good and I love all the different ice cream flavors they offer. It has been a great experience so far and I’m looking forward to the holidays. I’ve heard they go all out for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

All 8 would be a 5! The only issue we had was that dad had a very hard time adapting to a new schedule. At 97, he expected the staff to adapt to HIS precise schedule. Once he had a written schedule and he accepted that the staff had other residents that needed help at the same time, he was a little more forgiving. I'm sure that he was very grateful for all the help he did have! The staff was wonderful! I didn't know how they deal with some of the residents in a day to day basis. Amazing.

Its hard to get a hold of someone in memory care to ask questions or take care of my mom. Also, we just moved in a couple months ago and all of a sudden the rent went up [fee removed] per month which is not acceptable for us. We would never have chosen Sarabella if it was [fee removed] a month.

This place is the worst I ever put my mom in the rehab. My mom waited 2 hours for held and had no answered at all. The old women next to us called 4 time she said cannot breathe at all waited 3 hours and the nurse gave her a pill died in the rehab. This the worst place I ever put my mom in there.

This place is amazing and feels like home. The staff are so friendly and the community is beautiful. There is a lot to do inside and outside here and the grounds are beautiful. The food is made fresh every day and their homemade soup is excellent. I am so happy I'm here for the holidays and all the fall decorations are wonderful. I can't wait to attend all the holiday parties.

I toured Sarabella very clean staff was very pleasant overall great experience. the courtyard is amazing great view. Also the food looked delicious. Concierge was very welcoming and knowledgeable. Greeted right away when entering the community.

I reluctantly moved into an assisted living on the recommendation by my daughter and doctor. Since moving in I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here. The meals and menu are always tasty. The activities are varied and entertaining. They have entertainers in most weeks to sing/ dance/ play music for us. All of the staff are amazing and will help in anyway they can. They even have a shabbat service on Fridays and special holiday menus. Overall a wonderful place to live! I would recommend it to anyone.

The front desk greeted me with a smile and was very helpful. As I was touring every staff member spoke to me and asked if I had any questions, they would be happy to help. The inside and the grounds are kept up very well. There was no smells. I did have a change to speak to residents and all seemed very happy to live there.

It is new with excellent facilities , and they have helpful staff. I would recommend to other families.

Great place very clean s staff was accommodating. They had an event going on why we were there good participation, residents and staff. I definitely recommend this community. In addition, the concierge desk is very accommodating.

I visited this community because i pass their sign very day on my way to work. My mom was home alone and wasn't eating well. I finally decided to stop in on my way home the other day and was so happy about what i saw. Residents doing spin class when i entered the community and a very nice young British man that answered all my questions. My mom is moving in next week.

We have had my mother there for 6 months so far and have nothing but good things to say about Sarabella. They have looked after my mother incredibly well. All the staff are very friendly and helpful and the menu is wonderful. My mother is very happy with the food. They have a wonderful activities department and have so many different programs on offer. I couldn't recommend Sarabella highly enough

The facility is beautiful, brand new, hurricane strong, and many services in-house: cleaning, laundry, meds, Dr., PT if needed, 3 meals a day, activities, small library, salon appts., van available for trips to stores, church. Can't say enough good about them! The only thing I wish they had is some sort of liaison person/position there to help with issues that arise that my parents need help with at times.

This is a beautiful community. However I have been looking for so much more for my mom. I have come in several times with my mom wearing the same clothes. She often smells like urine and she lives on assisted living and is embarrassed to go to activities or eat in the dining room. I can in twice to her briefs being so saturated I was embarrassed for my mom. The executive Director does not respond to my phone calls. Mom has been there 6 months and her care has steadily and obviously declined. Not enough permanent staff. There are only a few good ones. They are lazy and resent when you ask them to help with care. The food is the same and lots of evening sandwiches. There are no activities going on except for Happy Hour. Nothing stimulating. Medications are missed frequently. Hard to find a nurse even though I am told one is there every day. I sat outside the nurses office one afternoon and didn’t see a nurse the entire 45 minutes I was there. Moving her after holidays.

It's beautiful. The people are very friendly. They are sometimes understaffed. My loved one likes the food. We picked this community because, it ws close to the house, it was brand new, and they offered a discount.
