About Brookdale Phillippi Creek

A Brookdale HealthPlus Community ® The residents at Brookdale Phillippi Creek can enjoy the benefits of Brookdale HealthPlus, which offers on-site care coordination overseen by a registered nurse. Here, residents receive personalized care plans and assistance with chronic conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, and more. Preventative health care services, such as annual wellness visits, immunizations, and health screenings are also provided to help avoid trips to doctors’ offices, or unnecessary emergency room visits and hospital stays. Welcome to Brookdale Phillippi Creek! Located in Sarasota, Florida — a city known for its vibrant performing arts scene and picturesque beaches — there is always something new or exciting to do in the area. The assisted living and memory care programs on-site also provide residents with engaging activities, as well as tailored care and support in a safe, and compassionate environment. Residents in assisted living receive daily assistance with bathing, dressing, and other grooming needs. For those in memory care, dementia-friendly menus and activities, as well as care is provided to help residents thrive, even in the late stages of dementia. Many families find peace of mind knowing the staff is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to be alerted to an emergency, and an emergency alert system is also in use. The community is built for safety first. In addition to monitoring residents’ needs, the staff assist with meals, chores, and errands. Plus, the community offers postal services, a beauty/barber shop, a chapel, fitness center, and a lovely coffee shop to use anytime. While your to-do lists quickly shrink, you can make the most of your time discovering new flavors of ice cream at the ice cream parlor or reading books from the library in the cozy living room. If needed, a therapy room and the gorgeous courtyard and garden are also available. Another perk of living here is the Personal Solutions program. Simply send Brookdale’s team a list of specific items you need and they will deliver them discreetly and directly to your door, at no additional cost.

Our experience

Lots of turnover with the nurses and techs. Short staffed on most days. Even housekeeping is lacking a full staff and weeks can go by without a room being cleaned. If money were not a problem then I probably would not. They are a good budget friendly facility I think if they could get the staffing issues figured out yes I would recommend.

We toured the Memory care area. My mother told them she was not ready to make the change. Neither unit was somewhere I would house my mother for the remainder of her days. Both were depressing to me.

They need more activity. Staff is friendly but people tend to stay on their rooms.

our experience after 2 months-improvements needed

Well, the executive manager wants to know if you have any problems but doesn't follow up to make sure the issue gets resolved. The dining manager wants to hear your opinions or questions but blames corporate for tying his hands on what he can do to improve the experience. Maintenance manager is slow to solve Maintenance issues. The only manager who does a fantastic job and truly seems to care is the health & wellness director and she's leaving tomorrow.

Family Environment!

The managers here are amazing! The residents here are all wonderful people and get along with everyone. It is very much a family environment at this community. They enjoy games, entertainment, and have such a great happy hour which is made special by the Chef's appetizers that she makes for these occasions.

Great Community!

The activities keep residents engaged throughout the day. The residents always look forward to the outings on Fridays that they get to choose beforehand. The dining menu, the residents enjoy because they get to choose from various entrées. The memory care also have great activities to engage the residents and they go on their outings once a month on Fridays.
