The Barclay at Sarasota is an amazing senior living community. The staff is caring, professional, and truly goes above and beyond for residents. Celina was especially very helpful and made the experience even better. The community is beautiful, welcoming, and offers a wonderful atmosphere for both Independent Living and Assisted Living. Highly recommend — truly a five-star experience!

I went on a tour and the sales team, Weslee, Celina , and Gaby are amazing. So professional and informative. The community is very impressive. They have a lot to offer. Golf putting green, shuffle board, butterfly garden, and 5 star dining. I can say that I am very impressed with this place.
