I visited this facility

I liked everything about the independent living community of Sky Active Desoto Beach Club. The only thing I dislike is it's location, and that's not their fault. It's probably 45 minutes away from where I live now, and I prefer to find somewhere close to where I live. I liked that this place was older but beautiful and kept up beautifully. The grounds have woods, and there are trees and everything. They are not a place that has assisted living, so you don't transfer from one to the other, but th…

Staff is attentive and professional. Would highly recommend Desota Beech club.

I would give you a 5 for 1-5. 6 I didn't taste food but the menu items were exciting! Can't speak for activities but seemed like there was a lot to do. I was able to get better pricing in Bradenton but it was an older facility. We liked the Sarasota location better since my client is familiar with the area.

a friendly community

There is no care at this facility so I did not answer. I think when most of the people check in here, they do not realize that there is no faculty or staff here after 7:30. Most expect that there is someone to talk to or ask a question. And I don't think the staff realizes that these people are old and each has a special problem of their own. But they need to read up on the geriatric group.

Critical

Think again

Since [date removed] this place has been a construction site for interior renovation. 100 residents have endured delays dust noise workers in hallways vying for one elevator access. Sarasota County has issued a stop work order for unpermitted work. Work was begun without a licensed general contractor; one reportedly has been hired though unnamed. No end is in sight.

I visited this facility

I toured Sky Active Desoto Beach Club. It was very clean. The staff was great and friendly. They showed the dining room, the studio apartment, and their office. I believe the meals were included.
