Independent Living in Florida

"My mom moved into Allegro in September 2022. I cannot say enough positive things about this experience. They are so welcoming and warm. She was greeted immediately by an ambassador who became a very good friend to her. The organization and the care put into daily living makes everyone feel comfortable. It is the people who make the place! She began her new life there in independent living. She was truly enjoying the Florida lifestyle. Living at Allegro can be like a cruise that doesn’t move. The activities, the dining, and the excursions to restaurants, were keeping her very busy. Early February 2023, my mom suffered a mini stroke. The Allegro team did not disappoint. After her return from the hospital, we moved her to assisted living. She is now doing great! She is back to participating in activities and socializing with her friends. I have to give an enormous thanks to Mary Adams, who gives my mom personal attention and security, to this day. The entire staff is amazing!" - Elaine… Read more

"Discovery Village was the right choice for my Dad. He was in three other facilities prior to Discovery Village, all of which boosted strongly of great amenities with professional care. However, when it was most crucial, there was no consistency, leaving my dad in a bad situation. This quickly became their standard practice. One facility even went as far as saying doctors advise by removing him, form their facility could be considered a form of abuse. I don't think they were completely aware that I was visiting daily and watching the treatment they were giving my dad. I moved him to Discovery Village. It was the best move of my Dads senior life. Within a week of eating good food, nurses actually interacting with him, and they brought him from completely giving up on life, back to life. My dad was talking again, even playing catch with the nurses. There are a lot of great staff, but a few I'd like to recognize is Sarah & Britney in management and Leolene Pierre & Marie Desrosiers." - Dean… Read more

"People have been very nice. I feel they are short staffed. I was sorry to see [Staff Member] go. My mom is in memory care. I’m not sure if they’re following the rules for showering or not.

"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

Ciara, the weekday concierge, is very kind and accommodating to all the residents.. Dalton who is in the maintenance Dept. excels in maintaining the building. He is courteous and caring.

"I placed my wife in the Memory Care unit because of her dementia issues. Feedback from staff always seemed positive. When I questioned missing clothes, I was told that when my wife soiled her clothes, they were too messy to clean and were thrown out. After about one month, her room smelled of urine. After two months, I received a call that they found a man in her room and both were naked, at which point, I immediately picked her up and brought her home. Very expensive for the disappointing results." - Ron… Read more
