Very Helpful During Difficult Time

My experience with Brookdale Sarasota Midtown was a bright spot during a rather dim time. We had multiple family crises happening all at once, and needing to find the right memory care for mom during all of it seemed like an impossible task. I was feeling really overwhelmed, but the staff at Brookdale Sarasota Midtown understood and sprung into action to help lessen the stress. Brookdale Sarasota is a pretty, homey feeling place, that’s clean and well maintained. The staff were all helpful, and what I noted in particular about the staff was the longevity of their tenure at Brookdale Midtown. Many have been there over 10 years, and some far longer than that. I got mom moved in and settled quickly. Knowing she was in good hands, allowed me to focus on continuing to help my family.

Everyone is very nice and caring

We have only been at Brookdale for a short period but everyone has been very helpful and kind. The move in was easy and all questions were answered. It couldn’t have been any smoother. The facility is clean well maintained.

Do not recommend, very disappointed

The staff is very hard to get ahold of. I was pretty much left in the dark regarding his plan of care. They sent the bill for his stay to his EMPTY house and didn't say anything to me- I was the point of contact for my father. They knew the horrible state of his house when they moved him to Brookdale and left him in that horrible house WITHOUT POWER. And charged $[fee removed] to move a bed, dresser, TV, and large chair. He had no power for a week! I could keep going but you get the idea.

The team from the front desk to the Nurses were very friendly and caring while we were visiting. They always seem to have some sort of activity planned for the residents. It was really nice to see the interactions between the residents and staff.

[name removed] is wonderful!

[name removed] was a pleasure to work with through the entire process of helping my friend move into Brookdale. She went over and beyond to help out every need. A process that could have been very stressful was pleasant. We felt welcomed and loved from the moment we walked in.

Finding a New Home and a New Family

The food they have here is great. They go out of their way in the dining room to make things perfect. Their is a monthly menu chat for us to discuss our likes and dislikes and to give suggestions of what we would like to have. The place is very clean. I like the way the people help each other out for it is a team effort. Brookdale does a great job at handling emergencies. For instance would be when Hurricane Melton came about.

Well Organized Organization

The employees are very professional. The employees make it a point to know you name. The employees go out of their way to assist me in whatever I may need. The quality of the food here is good and has increased considerably over the past couple of months. The resident engagement coordinator assist with other things outside of activities such as internet questions when asked and able to assist. The premises are exceptionally cleaned and well maintained. The only thing I request is there should be a nurse on duty 24/7.

My mom is in good hands with the Brookdale team. They go out of their way to make sure she is engaged and settling in nicely. We couldn’t be happier that we made the right decision with the Crossings program!

Older but a lot to offer

Our first impression of Brookdale Sarasota Midtown was not good. There was an issue with the automatic doors, and when a resident using a walker tried to get in, he couldn’t. The door issue was not the problem, but there was no one from the facility to help him. We met with [name removed] for an assisted living facility who was wonderful. She gave us a tour and actually had a room with dad’s requirements (two bathrooms). [name removed] held the room until my parents could look, then signed them up. The facility itself is older but well maintained. The rooms were spacious, the food was good, and there were a plethora of activities for residents. Unfortunately, my dad passed away before they could move into Brookdale.

Would not recommend

They just raised her rent [amount removed] a month which is absolutely absurd. We do not recommend this place. We were also provided erroneous information when we made the decision to move her in there and once we moved her in we found out they lied to us about a charge to take her to the dining room. That charge has since increased. We were never advised of that. We would have continued our search for another facility had we known that, and this was learned when she got her first month's bill. The executive director is completely unqualified and when there are issues it takes weeks of pestering her to get something done. They recently replaced the hot water heaters and all residents were without hot water for 4 days even though it only took them one day for the replacement work. They had to call the company back out to find out what the problem was and residents ate from paper plates with plastic utensils for 3 days. This is not the first time prolonged water issues have occurred.

Great community

Brookdale Sarasota Midtown has done a remarkable job taking care of my mom. They call their program Crossings and really have a top notch team. I appreciate the good communication and care. It’s not the same as having her home but it is definitely the next best thing!
