Daughter of Resident

“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.”

"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."

"The care staff is really amazing. Responsive, compassionate, they work as a team, work closely with mom’s primary care physician (who visits almost weekly). We've made numerous special requests to help mom’s transition and each time they’ve agreed and followed through."

"I had the opportunity to meet some of the staff at Brookdale, have lunch there, and have a tour. WOW! what a property. The courtyard/garden is magnificent. Great place to relax. The food was nourishing and delicious. Lots of community spaces for people to get together, play cards or bingo and do arts and crafts. And very conveniently located near Trader Joes."
