Sarasota is a coveted destination for people of all ages, but it is particularly attractive to retirees. Whether they love to golf, beach walk, go to the theater, or simply don’t want to shovel snow any longer – this city has a lot to offer to seniors. However, once those same seniors get to the point where they are looking for some safety, security, and assistance, there are also many options for assisted living and senior living residences. With so many communities to choose from, families may find it difficult to narrow down the options and know what the best choice for their loved one may be. My Care Finders is a senior placement service offered FREE OF CHARGE to area families. We have researched all of the potential Sarasota assisted living and memory care centers and help you decide which may be best for your situation.
