Ashton Place has provided a comprehensive level of assistance and care to seniors in Sarasota since 1996. Providing nurturing service and a homelike environment, the community is privately owned and operated by a licensed nurse. The residence is one of three assisted living facilities (ALFs) that has been granted a special Extended Congregate Care license which permits the staff of professional nurses to deliver full assistance with activities of daily living, avoiding the need for residents to move to a nursing home.
You will notice the compassion and dedication of the staff immediately upon entering Ashton Place. Decades of leadership experience guarantees that your senior loved one will receive an excellent level of care unparalleled in the Sarasota region.

Bring Your Pets to Ashton Place
Research has proven that the simple act of petting a cat or dog can lower blood pressure and alleviate anxiety. Caring for a pet can increase feelings of self-worth and provide a sense of purpose. In fact, owning and caring for a pet – when appropriate – is one of the best ways for seniors to protect their mental health and avoid loneliness.
Because the team at Ashton Place understands the connection we share with pets, we invite our residents to bring their beloved animals with them when they move in. Be sure to ask the administration about any restrictions that may apply.
What Makes Ashton Place Special
The owners have created a homelike environment where residents can safely age in place without fear of being moved when their needs evolved. To achieve this goal, the ALF accomodates only 42 residents, guaranteeing more personalized care than the average senior living residence.
Most assisted living floorplans still showcase long hallways and a hotel-like ambiance – resulting in empty common areas and closed resident doors. At Ashton Place, however, the hallways are shorter, the common areas are a popular gathering spot, and most residents leave their room doors open. The atmosphere is truly more like living at home among family. When seniors are willing to leave their rooms and engage with other residents, they are happier, healthier and feel safer.
