NO regard for Covid-19! Even though they're caring for some of the most vulnerable people in our community, they do not require their employees to be vaccinated against Covid-19, the same employees who refuse to wear their masks correctly, with many wearing them under their nose or completely under their chin, even in high traffic areas such as the dining room. When my grandmother first moved in in early 2021, I asked if there was any plan to require vaccinations or masks for employees and was laughed at and told that wouldn't happen. Unfortunately, where my grandmother lives is not my choice,

As a retired firefighter, paramedic, and fire inspector, I have been in my fair share of assisted living centers. After 25 years of service, one develops an eye for these types of facilities. Having toured a plethora of the local higher-rated facilities, we settled on Aravilla Sarasota for my mother-in-law. By far, the quality of care observed, the positive reports from the residences themselves, and the overall management/supervision exceed anything else we have seen. I can usually find at least one violation or deficiency but not here. Aravilla Sarasota was very transparent, which should be considered

Do not consider Aravilla Sarasota. Management and staff are unable to communicate efficiently within the facility, let alone with family members. Patient dignity is nonexistent. My father was transported to ER for covid-19 without glasses or dentures, resulting in significant weight loss. I discovered this over a week later, when I picked up my father’s belongings and found glasses and dentures in dirty vase (see photo).

I have heard so many positive things about Aravilla. They have great reviews on their food, activities and their memory care program. I called a few days ago because I wanted to possibly set up a tour, but the person on the other end of the phone was as rude as can be. She did not seem to want to be bothered by me, she seemed to be annoyed by my questions, which she halfway answered while while I could hear her chewing her gum. Perhaps she had more important things to do or simply wanted to hurry up and go home early on a Friday. Nevertheless, It just did not sit right with me, If she did not have

My elderly mother has been a resident at Aravilla since November, 2019. I can't say enough wonderful things about it. It is a beautiful, inviting and comfortable environment. The moment you walk in you can feel the difference with other places - in terms of community, cheerfulness and activity. The administrators, nursing staff, activities director, maintenance staff and food staff, are all caring and professional. They love the residents and are always available to talk to family members. This is especially important to me as I live far away in NYC. The most recent notable example of their level

Patty and Jen took excellent care in providing the best possible options for my Father. Aravilla is the best Assisted Living facility in the greater Sarasota area! (I looked at 6 others).
It feels like a beautiful hotel with all of the amenities of a home environment and more. Beautiful pool, plenty of social activities. Fabulous tv lounge with bar like area for socializing. Highly recommend Aravilla for your loved one.

My Dad and I love Aravilla! We had visited often before this pandemic, and were pleased with how they strive for a happy, active, fun lifestyle for all the residents, and it is such a beautiful, new facility. The staff is wonderful and work very hard to handle the daily challenges, especially during COVID 19. My Dad really enjoyed the daily live music, and it will be amazing to resume that, post pandemic. Patty McDonald was so helpful and supportive during his move-in process during these challenging times. Executive Director Carol Copenhaver has been very helpful and supportive during some of

Best of the Best! My elderly parents are now residing in assisted living at Aravilla since November 2019. The quality of care and service has been nothing less than first class. They truly love their residents at this facility!
The staff and cleanliness of Aravilla is second to none. My parents always say that they are well treated and cared for at Aravilla. I would recommend anyone to this facility if they need the services they provide. Patty McDonald is one of the directors there when we first toured the facility with Mom & Dad and she and everyone else welcomed them with open arms. Many Thanks
