Review for Sarabella Senior Living

I looked at quite a few places with my husband that had independent living. My cousin, who is close by for my mom decided she wanted my mom really close to her in distance. My cousin found the 3 closest places to her. One was Sarabella. My mom really likes the food at Sarabella. The staff and residents are all very friendly. She's a bit disappointed that more residents aren't milling around and low turnout for activities. I feel this is due to Sarabella being assisted living. I'm disappointed that there have been things breaking in her apartment, although the building is only 5 years old.

About the facility

At Sarabella Senior Living, residents’ choices are the highest priority. Settled between ornamental ponds and a charming gathering of trees, this private Florida-style facility and its bright, modern interior make this community an exquisite choice for senior living. Just outside its walls, the city of Sarasota offers trails and gardens for residents and their visiting loved ones to explore together. This senior living community is also just a few miles away from Siesta Key and several sandy beaches.

Sarabella Senior Living offers assisted living services and memory care. From providing limited assistance to working closely with residents on their personalized care plans, the 24-hour staff and licensed nurses in this senior living community ensure that each resident is well taken care of. Those who require memory care to cope with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia experience the many benefits of the Montessori method. This method provides mentally enriching and appropriately challenging activities to help each individual feel successful. There are two memory care floor plans for residents to choose from that have been designed with safety and ease of use in mind.

not a place for mom

Our mom lived at SaraBella for 8 months. Staffing was a revolving door: at least 7 nurses, 5 activities directors, and a perpetual turnover among aides/med techs. We often encountered residents unattended; on many visits, our mother was sitting in wet and/or soiled clothing. Staff were often on phones: cell phone policy appeared unenforced. Nutrition/hygiene were troubling. Fruit was initially withheld from memory care; one staff member in the kitchen suggested we’d need an MD's note. "Fruit cost too much," he claimed. Expired baked goods from AL were routinely redistributed, and residents’ hands were not washed before/after meals. Lack of engagement with the residents was distressing. 3 times in [Year removed] aides failed to put a sheet over our mother’s plastic pad, causing her to slide out of bed; one night, she remained on the floor for hours, arm bleeding. Regularly, lights were left on, teeth went unbrushed, showers skipped. Our concerns were not adequately addressed by management.

Apartment size is perfect! We're in a LARGE one bedroom. Staff is absolutely amazing!! We've never had a single interaction with a staff member that wasn't STELLAR! We'd recommend Sarabella to everyone! We chose Sarabella, as opposed to the larger options we saw because it was a much "homier" environment and EVERYONE was (and still is, after 5 months!) so pleasant!! We don't have a single regret!

Poorly managed

Staff is left unsupervised and are not trained to do their jobs. They sell you a bill of goods, then can't deliver. You would think with the high rents they charge, you would get at least a decent meal and occasional entertainment. This place is lifeless, so we moved on to a well managed facility where the staff are experienced and friendly. Life's too short to stay in a miserable place.

Gotten some peace of mind.

We are there now in our fifth month, many of the staff have changed, to the better. A lot has to do with the staff getting to know you and your needs. The manager [name removed]called a resident town hall meeting to get feedback about what residents would like to do, which was encouraging. The food most days is great and they do a good job dispensing the meds. I would give them a four and a half out of five.

We got a lot of attention and help at the beginning, but once we were in there, then we had to continue to follow up on things and ask for things to make sure that we were getting everything that comes with the package we pay for.

I’ve toured several places in the Sarasota/Venice area and Sarabella stands out above them all. It’s a comfortable place that feels more like home than a facility. The staff I have observed obviously care about the residents. When you see staff calling residents by name as they greet them while walking down the hall, see servers remembering little things about resident’s preferences while taking their meal order time after time, hear residents praise those who care for them, you know Sarabella is doing things right.

Very nice place..with some things to work on

I was told many times that something would happen, but that wasn't communicated to the right people and so it didn't. The yard is beautiful, activities are great, staff is very friendly and food is very good. The only downside is a lack of communication between care admin's and their respective staff. Potential residents should ask for specifics for what their own personal care plan will look like and then hold them to it!!

A great place to live

The community is beautiful, bright and open with luxury outdoor areas to experience. The staff are friendly and always smiling. They have up to 7 activities a day to choose from and they even hosted their own Summer Olympics. The food is also good and I love all the different ice cream flavors they offer. It has been a great experience so far and I’m looking forward to the holidays. I’ve heard they go all out for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Love this place!!

All 8 would be a 5! The only issue we had was that dad had a very hard time adapting to a new schedule. At 97, he expected the staff to adapt to HIS precise schedule. Once he had a written schedule and he accepted that the staff had other residents that needed help at the same time, he was a little more forgiving. I'm sure that he was very grateful for all the help he did have! The staff was wonderful! I didn't know how they deal with some of the residents in a day to day basis. Amazing.

Its hard to get a hold of someone in memory care to ask questions or take care of my mom. Also, we just moved in a couple months ago and all of a sudden the rent went up [fee removed] per month which is not acceptable for us. We would never have chosen Sarabella if it was [fee removed] a month.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. 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.
