Family Extended Care of Sarasota sits at 4450 8th Street, bringing seniors a place that's got the quiet of country living but still feels like home, and what folks find here is an honest mix of assisted living, memory care, and nursing homes, all set in one community under the license #9381. Residents get to choose from studio, semi-private, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom rooms, all made for comfort and daily needs, and the doors are locked for safety so nobody has to worry about wandering, especially in the Bayberry Lane memory care area set aside for people with Alzheimer's or dementia who really need that structured, secure care and the chance to spend time in safe secured courtyards or outdoor areas with trees and plants. The staff works all day and night, so there's always someone around for an emergency or just simple help like moving from bed to a wheelchair, and the emergency call system makes sure folks feel safe, with wheelchair-accessible rooms, cable TV, Wi-Fi, transportation, and parking to make life easier. The dining team serves three nutritious meals every day, and the kitchen's got special diet options for different needs-so residents don't have to worry about shopping or cooking much anymore.
Regular health checks, diabetic care, medication help, incontinence support, and non-ambulatory services come as part of the support, and anybody living here can lean on the wellness checks, pharmacy help, and even dementia support groups, whether they're staying for a long time, just a short respite, or only during the day with day services. Social, recreational, and educational programs fill the days, indoor and outdoor spaces give folks the chance to sit with others and talk or just enjoy the fresh air, and the staff brings transportation to appointments, so trips to the doctor or errands go smoother. Devotional activities fit both on and off-site for people who want to stay connected with their faith, and there's a blog on the website for families looking to learn about assisted living and related care. The pricing's laid out for different care needs-high, medium, or low-and the community offers clear information, no wait list at this time, and a process to connect with senior living advisors or schedule a tour for anyone interested in seeing how life goes here. Families get to take a break sometimes, thanks to respite care, while regular caregivers can trust folks here to step in for a while. The place stays focused on resident-centered care, dignity, and independence, and health assessments help match each person with the right type of care. Housekeeping, laundry, banking, and mail services round out daily needs, and the homelike atmosphere gives everyone a better chance to age with personal comfort, with dignity, and with a sense of belonging. Family Extended Care runs as a not-for-profit, so the mission centers on quality care, honest relationships, and steady support for both residents and their families, all while making each day as vibrant and meaningful as it can be for older adults.
