DeSoto Palms Assisted Living Community sits in Sarasota, Florida, inside a quiet neighborhood not far from Lido Key's white beaches, shopping centers, parks, and restaurants, which makes it handy for both visitors and residents who like being close to town but want some peace and quiet. The community has a cozy, Mediterranean design with bright colors, oversized windows, and open layouts, so sunlight comes in and there's plenty of space to move around. Residents have their own private apartments, where they can enjoy quiet time or take part in group activities. The staff provides personalized care, including help with bathing, dressing, medication management, and other daily tasks, with trained workers on site all day and night. The facility also has an emergency response system and on-site healthcare options, including a physician clinic, to help look after residents' health and safety.
People can join a full calendar of activities, like chair yoga, brain fitness classes, gardening, outings for shopping or sunset cruises, and group events that help folks stay active. There's a gym for exercise or therapy, club rooms, a café, and spots for hobbies or quiet moments; plus, outdoor areas for walks and fresh air. DeSoto Palms has both indoor and outdoor spaces for gatherings, including a private dining room for special occasions and communal areas for relaxing with neighbors. Meals are chef-prepared and served restaurant-style, with menus that consider different dietary needs, and there's housekeeping and laundry service to help keep things tidy. The facility also has memory care for people living with dementia or Alzheimer's, offering extra support as needed. The community's age-in-place philosophy means care can change when residents' needs do, so people can stay longer without needing to move.
There's scheduled transportation for church, doctor visits, or shopping trips, and devotional support is available both onsite and offsite for those who want it. DeSoto Palms welcomes pets and strives to make a warm, close-knit atmosphere, with a focus on treating residents with dignity and helping everyone feel at home. It's locally owned and operated, and it has an assisted living license number #11835. People living here can find a mix of privacy, support, and chances to take part in an active, caring community, all in a safe, comfortable setting.
