About the facility

Families seeking personalized memory care services for their loved one can find the support and relief they have been searching for at Brookdale Deer Creek Sarasota. Thanks to gentle guidance, visual reminders, and dementia-friendly activities, residents can socialize and thrive — even in the late stages of dementia. Through consistent care assignments and the community’s two exclusive programs — the Clare Bridge and Solace programs — Brookdale’s team helps residents find a sense of purpose and belonging. The Clare Bridge program provides residents with a minimum of six activities each day to promote the use of their current skills. Meanwhile, the Solace program offers sensory activities involving music and aromatherapy as well as an additional layer of care. Residents can also receive assistance here with tasks like medication management, dressing, and bathing.

Regardless of the care needed, safety is always a top priority. Staff is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to be alerted to an emergency. The community also includes keypad entries, secured entrances and exits, an alert system, and an enclosed walking area. These features allow residents to independently and safely navigate the campus. While their meals, chores, and home maintenance is managed, residents are welcome...

I would not recommend Brookdale

The nurses were very sweet and alerted me ahead of time when it was obvious that my husband was dying so I could be with him. I really appreciated it. Otherwise, It has been a nightmare as my husband was only there for ten days before he died. I am still being harassed to pay for thousands of dollars beyond that which I had already paid. This nightmare has been threatening and exhausting since [removed name], making my grief and expected issues following one's death even more difficult. Their accounting department is impossible to deal with and I wouldn't wish on anyone. I have waited and attempted every possible way to address the fact that [removed name] was the total length of his care and services of Brookdale.

Please be cautious, not recommended

Very unhappy with the treatment overall. In addition they should be ashamed of themselves for keeping monies that they quoted would be returned. VA disabled veterans live on a tight budget especially those with diagnosed dementia/ Alzheimer's and they lied. They promises to return money and then did not. I hope they all sleep well at night. He was a handful but that was told upfront and they knew and stated they could handle it.

There was minimal memory care.

They made it look good but it wasn't. There was minimal memory care. If you want your relative sitting in a wheelchair all day or laying in bed, you have got the right plac. No adult should sit in a wheelchair more than 2 hours and max at 4 hours! There was one person my mother-in-law was afraid of. The room smelled like urine so bad when my husband came to get her stuff after she had broken her hip there. These places are all the same, they will leave your loved ones to sit and rot!!!! For yourself please get long term care so you can have a peaceful humane life at the end.

Upon arrival I was greeted with tremendous hospitality. The staff was awesome in regards to being attentive to my needs and making me aware of the support in the facility. The place itself gave me the vibe of a place, I would want my significant other to be. Knowing they would be in good grace. Thank you Brookdale for making me aware of places that show care.

They are under staffed and really struggled to keep medications correct and hygiene good. They are improving but it took a lot of complaining to get basic care up to par.

Review for Brookdale Deer Creek Sarasota

Deer Creek has been very responsive to my uncle's needs and any requests that we have made. They have really tried hard to protect his dignity and genuinely seem to care about him. I chose Deer Creek because it catered to individuals with dementia and Alzheimer's. The facility is very open and easy to get around in. Great line of sight throughout.

This is a pretty community that feels like a chalet in the heart of Sarasota close to downtown and lots of restaurants which is a Perfect sjirt. The backyard courtyard area is inviting with tall, oak trees, and a garden area with water flowers. The inside is beautifully decorated and feels Homey.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Memory Care. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know Florida’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Florida’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
