ActivAge Sarasota (Fall 2023) sits within the Lakewood Ranch community and shows up in the Lakewood Ranch Business Alliance's member directory, which means folks might hear about its amenities in the LWR Guide if they poke around local resources, and you know, it's got this reputation for really trying to make life easier for older adults by focusing on mobility, independence, and well-being, and everything they do pretty much circles back to that. You'll see amenities like a fitness center, a therapy pool, art and movement classes, and rooms set up for gatherings or group activities, and they're proud of their wellness center and programs like art therapy or movement classes because they think these things help with both the body and the spirit, and sometimes people just need that extra motivation to stay active or find new hobbies. There are several types of care, including assisted living, independent living, memory care for those who need a little extra support with memory problems, skilled nursing, outpatient rehab, and therapy services, and they've got home care options, too, so for someone who wants to stay at home but maybe needs a hand, home health aides can visit and help with day-to-day stuff.
Physical therapy services and fall prevention programs are available, and the staff is trained to assist with everything from daily support to more advanced care, including help for people with dementia or Alzheimer's, and there's a strong focus on keeping everybody safe and stable, especially for families who want peace of mind. Nutritious meals are prepared on-site, and dining tends to get good feedback in reviews, as do the staff who are often described as friendly, helpful, and joyful, since those are the kinds of qualities that can make a place feel like home, and residents seem to appreciate the sense of support and social engagement, with plenty of group exercise classes, social activities, and events geared toward making sure nobody feels isolated.
There's an emphasis on mental health support and emotional care, and there are social areas where folks can get together for activities or just to chat, and health education is a regular feature, along with movement classes and programs for memory support. Residents can enjoy exercise rooms, try out therapy equipment, or meet up in common spaces, and, for those interested, the community has digital features, too-they create and share content through things like flipbooks, digital guides, and articles about aging well, and they've won a Best of Senior Living 2025 award, which reflects their review score of 8.5 out of 10 based on resident and family feedback, so, all told, ActivAge Sarasota (Fall 2023) seems to do a thorough job offering different levels of care and activities, focusing on safety, wellness, community, and keeping older adults as active and happy as they want to be. They've got two locations listed-one at 3626 Tamiami Trail, Port Charlotte, and another at 3801 Bee Ridge Road in Sarasota-so depending on where someone needs care, there's likely a spot that fits.
