Recent reviews of Assisted Living in Sarasota, FL
Brookdale Sarasota Midtown
4.6

We love it and are very happy with our choice. I love the girls who care for my mom. Everybody is very nice. They show concern for me, and they show concern for my mom. They really know who she is and pay attention to her, which is major. I did not want her getting lost in the crowd, and that certainly has not happened at Brookdale. They always have activities going on and are always trying to include her. And the cost is about average compared to other places in the area.

The community is very accommodating to the family's requests. The staff have gotten to know my loved one and what my loved one's needs are. The staff are great at answering all the family's questions as well. The meals are served three times a day. The community is able to provide medication management, bathing, dressing, and hygiene care as some of the care that is offered by them.
