Aspire at Beneva is a senior living community in Sarasota, Florida. Its profile lists medication management, memory care, incontinence care, non-ambulatory care and diabetic care among health-related services. These entries span health management, memory-related, mobility-related and personal-care needs. Short-term or respite stays are also listed, indicating an option for temporary stays in addition to ongoing residence. The available information does not explain how each service is delivered, what staffing is involved, or which supports are suitable for an individual resident; the entries are service categories, not a personal care plan.
Room features listed include bathtubs and wheelchair-accessible showers. Cable television, telephone service and Wi-Fi are also identified as room amenities. These features cover bathing access along with in-room communication and entertainment connections. The available information does not describe room sizes, layouts or furnishings, or say whether rooms are private or shared. It also does not establish whether every room has the same features, so the listed items describe amenities without specifying how they are configured in particular accommodations.

Thank you to all the staff.
My husband is at Aspire at Beneva and I'm so upset about him being in his room with this man. If you're going to put my husband with somebody, at least put him with somebody compatible. This man's TV is so loud. When you walk by, it vibrates your body. They don't have the same taste. This man's listening to Andy Griffith show and my husband's pretty much on the news and that kind of information, but he can't even listen to his news. My husband has dementia.

My husband is at Aspire at Beneva and I'm so upset about him being in his room with this man. If you're going to put my husband with somebody, at least put him with somebody compatible. This man's TV is so loud. When you walk by, it vibrates your body. They don't have the same taste. This man's listening to Andy Griffith show and my husband's pretty much on the news and that kind of information, but he can't even listen to his news. My husband has dementia. So, half the time when his food comes in, he just looks at it. He has no clue what to do with it. If I'm not there at eating time, he doesn't eat. I come in unexpectedly just to see what's happening with his food and his trays were sitting in and he's looking at it. I said, "Are you going to eat?" He said "I don't know what to do with that. What is that?" So, I'm usually there at dinner time because I work during the day, so I feed him his dinner but other than that, they just drop off his plate and leave. Nobody comes in to help him. There's a lot of things that he can't think and do and they're just totally ignoring him. He had a turkey sandwich yesterday. It had one slice of meat on it and two pieces of bread. Then he gets iced tea every day. They don't even ask him if he wants coffee. He's a coffee drinker and they just put down the iced tea and that's it. One day I was there, and I asked "Don't you all have coffee?" They said, "Oh, he has to ask for that." I said "He doesn't know how to ask for it. You should give him coffee. He likes coffee." They aren't considering his dementia at all. The facility is old. It's been around a long time, but it's clean. You walk in and it's very presentable. His bed always looks clean and made. The shower looks like it's kept up. They have a list of activities but my husband does not go to any of them because he hasn't got a clue of what it is. They have a movie at 6:00. They have the game hour. They have a church and different things.
Please do not evaluate this facility by the online reviews. Instead, take a drive out to Beneva and take a tour. December 1st began a whole new look of fresh paint, decorating, etc. We did not find the home dirty in any way and it was decorated nicely for Christmas. They are working on many improvements, like the two courtyards, etc. The staff we did see were cordial and very helpful., so please take a tour, then decide.

My family member was at this facility for health care and phyiscal therapy. While the physical therapy people were wonderful, the other care was awful. I found pills she was suppose to take on the dirty floor. She experienced very low sugar attacks at least 3 times during her short stay. When she finally went to the hospital due to an infection, she pleaded with the hospital not to hurt her. I feel she was mistreated at the facility. I would never recomend anyone leaving your loved one at this place.
I have visited my relative at Beneva Lakes and found it to be clean and welcoming. I am impressed that the staff is pleasant and cooperative.
Never would I imagine a facility that is suppose to care for a elderly person do just the opposite. They told hospice, he was not declining to the point of needing them. Refused them access. Yet he dies days later and looked as if he hadn’t eaten in weeks. Shame on you for everything you said to our family, shame on you for blaming Governor DeSantis. You brought your political bias into the death the of our dad. Your facility should be shut down in my opinion and in my opinion all of you should lose your license to work with any living being. You deserve negative stars and I’m disgusted that the only way I can review you is if I give you 1 star. What a shame. Please please for the love of your family I would not put a family member there.
Terribly run, dirty rooms, rude admin, terrible med techs, absolutely horrible!
very few activities--day room is a holding pen with minimal time out of Wheelchairs-toileted maybe once in the morning frequent staffing issues-poor pay "hardened" employees who have lost site of the mission of their job and role of the facility
