I have a friend that moved into the meadows three months ago and I just wanted to say how happy he is. The administrator and RCC Are very professional, but caring people they really try to accommodate their residence needs the owner of this building Should be very proud of his employees. They are amazing.The building was Immaculately clean. I would refer people to Meadows of Sarasota.

This facility is a hidden gem, Management and Staff are friendly and truly care for the residents , when walking the halls during our tour all the residents were joking with the admin and rcc. Moved my family member in and has been the best choice we’ve made.

I wouldn’t wish this place on my worst enemy. There isn’t enough room to list all the reasons. I’m so glad I got my friend out of here. There was no administration on site for two days, I moved him out and they didn’t even notice he was gone for two days. They tried to keep his medication which is illegal. It’s dirty and the staff is awful. My friends roommate was sick and the staff didn’t check on him right away so the next morning when they did they had to call an ambulance. Jeanine is probably one of the rudest and most unprofessional people ever. Don’t send your loved ones here!

My Grandfather was placed here and has not been able to call me.

I have called several times and they will not let me speak with a family member in their care.

What we like the most about the community is the kindness and compassion the staff have towards the residents. Yes, we would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

My friends were residents of The Meadows of Sarasota Senior Living. The first thing you see is the gazebo, but it looks very rundown, so I thought that's not good. We walked into the facility, and it was clean and neat, but it had more of a hospital look to it. The rooms that we saw were bigger than the rooms we had, but the bathroom was weird. It's very strange. The shower room is not separate from the toilet. It's kind of like there's a hole in the bottom of the floor. The outside didn't look like it was taking care of that well. The food wasn't very good.

What families highlight
