Liana North Sarasota is a memory-care-only community designed for residents who live with Alzheimer’s disease and other advanced dementia conditions. The staff is experienced in supporting behaviors often seen in these diagnoses, including daytime and nighttime wandering, elopement risk, combativeness, and other behavioral issues. Residents who stay up all night receive continuous supervision, and care plans are adjusted to meet each person’s patterns.

Resident safety is reinforced by a licensed nurse present in the building and another nurse on call at all hours. On-site services cover memory-specific programming, incontinence and ambulatory care, medication management, hospice coordination, and regular visits from optometrists, dentists, podiatrists, occupational therapists, and physical therapists. For daily living needs, team members provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer help ranges from standby support through two-person transfers, and equipment such as walkers and wheelchairs is accommodated.

Apartments come in several layouts; some include individual climate controls and cable service, while others offer more streamlined setups. Housekeeping is provided so residents and families do not need to manage cleaning tasks, and maintenance is handled by staff. It is advisable to ask which specific features are available in the unit being considered.

Meals are prepared on site, with a standard menu offered at every meal and an option to order certain items as needed. The culinary team manages specialized diets, including gluten-free plans and texture-modified puréed dishes, and works with clinical staff to coordinate nutritional requirements for each resident.

Common-area amenities include wheelchair-accessible pathways, an exercise room, wellness center, library, and communal gardens, as well as internet access and an in-house barber and beauty shop. Scheduled transportation helps residents attend medical appointments, run errands, and take part in local outings.
