Aravilla Sarasota offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care under one roof, making it possible for residents to remain in familiar surroundings even if their needs change. The community is equipped to care for people who wander during the day or night, may attempt elopement, stay up all night, require oxygen, need special diets, or manage diabetes with either oral medication or injections. Staff members are trained to work with residents who have advanced dementia, so families can feel confident that complex cognitive and behavioral needs will be addressed.
A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on site 24 hours a day, supported by an awake night-shift team, routine background checks, and a pull-cord alert system that brings staff quickly to any apartment. Podiatry services are provided in the building, limiting the need for off-site appointments. Full assistance is available with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and residents who use walkers, wheelchairs, or need a one-person transfer receive help from trained personnel. An activity director coordinates daily programming, and exterior doors are monitored to provide a secure environment at all hours.
Apartments vary in layout, and not every unit has every feature, but options may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, furnished living area, independent temperature controls, and cable service. Residents can choose the floor plan that suits their preferences and budget while knowing each apartment is designed for accessibility and quick staff response.
Dining is prepared to accommodate individual medical requirements such as special diets and diabetic needs. Meals are made to order, and snacks are available throughout the day, helping residents maintain consistent nutrition and blood-sugar control.
Amenities include wheelchair-accessible common areas, an exercise room, a barber and beauty shop, high-speed internet, on-site religious services, and an outdoor pool and spa. Scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments and local errands. Pets are allowed; it's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
