The service was alright at first but then later, they didn't give her as much attentive care as we would have liked. Food wasn't that great. They finally fired the nurse in charge of that unit and things improved a bit, but then she passed away. We had some valuable stuff, jewelry, of my mother's that disappeared, then later her dentures, which we had replaced, very expensive, and later they lost her that new denture again. They also kept losing her clothes and bedsheets. Would not recommend. However, if you chose this place, DO NOT LEAVE ANY VALUABLE STUFF IN THEIR CARE.

After a long search, we finally found the perfect place for my mother-in-law…read more The assisted living facility she had been at--a large national chain--had steadily declined over the past five years. For the last two years, my wife and her sister visited numerous facilities, determined to find a place where their mom would truly be happy. But time after time, something was missing. Their mom was understandably reluctant to move. She had deep emotional ties to her apartment--it's where she had lived with her late husband, and leaving it felt like leaving part of him behind. Then they discovered Tuscan Gardens. From the moment they walked in, everything felt different. The staff was warm and welcoming. The community was immaculate, bright, and full of charm, with cozy nooks and inviting spaces around every corner. They spoke with residents who genuinely loved living there--and it showed. Still, the biggest test was introducing the idea to their mom. They brought her to visit... and she lit up. She loved it! The decision was made, and she moved in shortly after. Now? She's thriving. She has a big smile on her face every day. She's surrounded by friendly, caring staff in a beautiful, healthy environment. For our family, it's been a huge relief. We finally have peace of mind knowing she's not just "getting by" but actually enjoying her days. That confidence and comfort are priceless. A heartfelt thank you to everyone at Tuscan Gardens! And a special shoutout to Barb, the activities director--she's an absolute gem. Her energy and enthusiasm are contagious, and she takes the time to personally connect with each resident. We love watching her in action when we visit. :)

The care was wonderful from most of the caregivers but one caregiver in particular, Renata was absolutely one of the most capable and caring caregivers I've ever come across in 40 years of healthcare. She anticipated my mom's needs before my mom even needed to say something. She fixed her home, cooked meals, and kept the house exceptionally clean. She was phenomenal at communicating with us for any needs that my mom might have. Renata is a tremendous asset to your company. She never sat in the other room reading books, never was on her phone, and responded to my mom even by conversing. She added companionship, compassion , and comfort to the end of my mom's life and we are incredibly grateful.

The sales staff (Lisa) was courteous and caring going far beyond the original placement. The care staff was wonderful. Especially the first floor nurses-Amy and all the nursing staff as well as the Director of Nursing Nadine. My client was hospitalized and ultimately came back on Hospice. The care staff went over and above what I have seen at any other facility in the Sarasota/Bradenton area. They checked on my client hourly, always making sure they were clean and comfortable and took care of any needs that arose immediately. The staff's attitide, smiling faces, compassion and empathy when dealing with a difficult situation was stellar.They treated my client and the family as they would treat their own. I would put this facility on the top of your list when looking for an ALF/ Memory Care. Though they are faith based they accommodate all faiths/beliefs. I take my advocate work very seriously and have seen some terrible treatment of our seniors at others facilities. I would not hesitate to place another client at Fountains of Hope in Sarasota. Thank you to all the staff that made a difficult situation as pleasant and caring as possible.
