It's Always Helpful to Try Before You Buy

You try on clothes and always test drive a car before you buy, so it doesn't make sense that you have always had to take a leap of faith when it comes to senior living. Inspired by this real need, our Be Our Guest program is an amazing, new way to experience life in our senior living community.

What Our Residents Say

“I can't say enough good things about the Assisted Living at Discovery Village in Sarasota! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and at ease. The staff is incredibly caring, attentive, and always ready to go the extra mile. My mother has been living here for several months now, and it has truly been a life-changing experience. The facility is beautiful, clean, and feels like a home, not just a place to stay.

The activities and social events are fantastic and keep everyone engaged and active. The nursing staff is professional and compassionate, and I feel confident that my Mom is getting the best care possible. Communication with the management team is excellent, and they are always available to answer questions or address any concerns.”

“I have been visiting Discovery Village at Sarasota Bay for the last 2.5 years as a home health representative, and during that time, I’ve witnessed firsthand the care, compassion, and dedication that the staff puts into supporting the residents. After seeing how wonderful this community is, I made the decision to join the team, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice!

The sense of community here is truly special. The residents are treated with the utmost respect and dignity, and it's clear that everyone, from the management to the staff, is committed to enhancing the lives of those who live here. The team works hard to create a positive, enriching environment, and it’s rewarding to be part of such a caring and dedicated group of professionals.

I’m proud to be a part of this incredible community, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a safe, supportive, and welcoming place for their loved ones.”

From the moment he arrived, He felt welcomed by both the team and the residents, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere. It’s clear that they genuinely care about the well-being of everyone here. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a supportive and caring environment."

Daughter of Respite Resident
"My mother has lived here for 2 1/2 years, and I have visited 4 times a year for that time frame. I stay a week at a time, so I see what goes on. They are what I envision luxury senior living should be. The apartments are new and the layout is functional. The chef is fantastic. The fitness classes and activities are abundant. I think they have a really good executive team who care about what they're doing. I feel happy and comfortable knowing my mother is happy and comfortable."
