There’s a good reason that Sarasota, FL’s motto is “Where Urban Amenities Meet Small-Town Living”—see how you can take advantage of the best of both worlds when you explore assisted living facilities options there. From mainland shoreline living to quiet life on the keys, there are assisted living accommodations options that match every retirement lifestyle you could choose, as long as you don’t expect any of those options to be snow-capped. There’s something for everyone in Sarasota, FL.
Assisted living communities can provide the peace of mind that comes from not worrying about home maintenance, chores, or errands, as well as help with personal care like grooming, eating, and other activities of daily living (ADLs) seniors might have trouble with. Keep in mind as you start your search for assisted living facilities that some cities (particularly those where the cost of living is high) will be more expensive than others. Seniorly data shows us that the average cost of assisted living in Sarasota is $4,475 per month.
Assisted living isn’t the right option for everyone, however, and with terms like “retirement home” and “nursing home” clouding your search, knowing what is most appropriate can be difficult. For example, if your loved one requires nursing care, or has diagnosed Alzheimer's or dementia that has progressed to a certain point, a skilled nursing facility, in-home care, or memory care community may be more appropriate. Conversely, those who don’t require day-to-day assistance with ADLs may find independent living more comfortable. Our local advisors can provide expert advice on what you can afford and whether or not your city of interest is right for your needs and budget.
