"My mother has been a resident of Watercrest for 1 1/2 years. It's a beautiful facility with great hospitality. There are concerns that could take the rating down lower because she pays over $4K to stay here and she is not receiving that level of service. 1. The caregivers lose my mother's clothing items such as bras, and socks. 2. Towels and washcloths are missing and never folded neatly. 3. The caregivers continue to put the same outfit on my mom multiple times a week when she has plenty of clothes. 4. She has plenty of hangers for each pair of pants and shirts but 3 pairs of pants are hung up on 1 hanger. 5. Clothes can be found on the floor of the closet. 6. Clean laundry balled up in a chair or thrown over a chair instead of properly folded or hung up. 7.

"I want people to know that my aunt is very well treated in the memory care community and she can keep up with her active lifestyle with the outdoor courtyards. The Care has been great so far especially Markeye who has been a huge help in the memory care side. It’s been a couple months so far and I feel safe with her there and happy with the result of the decision that we made. I was able to find a place close to my home for the price that we wanted. I found a studio that was over overlooking the Lakeside for her." - Elsa… Read more

"In 2023 Retirement Unlimited Inc. took over management of The Fountains, a popular senior living facility in Sarasota.They changed the name to Elance at Sarasota and proceeded to change the very nature of the place. Doris Ellie Sullivan, president of RUI, wanted all RUI facilities to be the same. She was the ultimate micro manager. Quickly several excellent administrators left and found comparable jobs in neighboring places. Existing, popular programs were replaced by “signature” programs that RUI requires at all its facilities. Buildings were closed supposedly to be used in new ways, those buildings stand unused today. Fortunately Doris Ellie left ( I assume was fired) and soon after that RUI was replaced by new management. Residents are hopeful that the new company will take time to learn about the cculture of the former Fountains and help return it to the vibrant facility that was a home in which we residents thrived and of which we were proud. Then I’ll give it 5 stars again." - Joan.… Read more

"Grand Living Sarasota (GL) is a senior residence in east Sarasota County with attractive first-floor public spaces and poorly designed, cheaply constructed resident apartments. Based on my more than 2.5 years of living at GL, I would not recommend this facility. I have four main reasons for my negative review: 1) I feel my health was jeopardized at GL. 2) Food at GL is mediocre, which should not be, since 3) GL’s rent fees are higher than most other leased senior residences in the Sarasota area. 4) My standard of living at GL was diminished. Living there felt like a “step down.” because so many of the amenities I enjoyed most of my life just don’t exist at GL. Was there positive side? Yes, of course. Fitness, Activities and Wellness (Medical) departments were good, but I don't have space here for details. My advise to you? Keep looking. There are senior communities in the area for Independent residents with good management that are a better value." - Helen… Read more
