The Barclay at Sarasota stands on beautifully landscaped grounds with terracotta tile roofs and palm trees, part of The Fountains at Lake Pointe Woods community in Sarasota, Florida, and it focuses on active adult living with plenty of choices. This is a continuum of care community, so it has independent living, assisted living, memory care, long-term care, skilled nursing, hospice, home health care that's Medicare-Certified, and both non-medical home care and adult day services under one roof, which helps people find the right level of help when they need it and stay where they're comfortable. Skilled caregivers are always around to help with daily living, and the staff includes people like Sydney Rand, Assistant Director of Sales, making sure questions get answered.
Residents have many amenities like a heated outdoor pool with lounge seating, a card room, billiards room, sunroom with lake views, and walkways with tile floors and benches to sit and rest under the shade or near water fountains, ponds, and gardens. There's a movie theater, a full-service salon, and a fitness center. Apartments and communal rooms come with large windows, comfortable seating, and stylish touches like floral decor or wood beams, so plenty of chances to watch the birds or just enjoy the sunshine coming in. Memory Care rooms have cozy floral themes, natural light, and some personal touches for comfort. Assisted living units include modern kitchens with granite countertops, wooden cabinets, and stainless steel appliances, and independent living spaces feel roomy and open.
Dining happens in several venues, and the Margrove Room, Tiffany lounge bar, and the Cafe de Sol offer different options, with chef-prepared meals every day and a big Sunday brunch as a tradition. Residents eat in a dining room with chandeliers and white linen on the tables or sometimes outside with views of the tranquil pond. Every apartment or unit has all utilities covered, including Wi-Fi and cable, and there's bi-weekly housekeeping as well as laundry, so daily chores are lighter. The grounds are manicured and spots like gazebos or shaded patios with plenty of seating provide quiet places for visiting or watching the sunset.
The community believes in keeping people socially engaged, offering a full schedule of creative, educational, and wellness activities. There's daily scheduled transportation for appointments, shopping, dining, and getting out to local attractions. People living here can choose from independent living, assisted living, or memory care, and can take part in whatever suits them, with everything available from pool exercise to book clubs to gardening and games.
The Barclay at Sarasota stays open for residents and their needs at all hours, with support for everything from transportation to handling household details. The community tries to make every day pleasant and easy for seniors looking for independent living now and help with more health needs in the future.
