Feels like family

It was a very clean facility even during construction. It felt like home and the staff were all so friendly. Highly recommend

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.

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.

Beach Club by Sky Active Living review

Excellent on everything! i really think this move was perfect for my mother, the facility is wonderful and clean. the staff is super nice. if i had a complaint it would be they have a bus that only holds 12 people for a facility with over 100 residents. it is difficult to get your name on a list to go to Walmart when so many people want to go .

Review for Beach Club by Sky Active Living

We chose this community because it was affordable and the location is fantastic. It's also pet friendly and quiet. I would tell a friend, to do their research, talk to as many current residents as possible and not to expect anything special from the dining room, except for breakfast.
