THE FOUNTAINS OF HOPE

Fountains of Hope has been a wonderful home for our loved one. The building is beautiful and extremely clean inside with a grand dining room which leads out to a lanai and serene garden to enjoy. Above all, the caregivers are the most caring and loving staff that I have encountered. I have recommended this assisted living/memory care facility to many friends who also feel blessed to have a place for their loved ones to reside. I highly recommend that you consider Fountains of Hope when in search of a comfortable, safe environment for your family member. ~Tammy Y.

As a Transitional Care Manager with Care Patrol, I work closely with several senior living communities throughout Sarasota, and I confidently recommend Fountains of Hope Senior Living. With new management in place, I have seen a major improvement in this community. From a professional standpoint, the community demonstrates an appropriate standard of care and engagement. The building is clean, well maintained, and welcoming. The staff are friendly, attentive, and visibly present throughout the community, which provides both residents and families with peace of mind. The private rooms are very nice and thoughtfully designed to support comfort and dignity. A special highlight is Sunny, the Activities Director, who is truly involved with the residents and offers a wide variety of engaging activities that support socialization and quality of life. It’s clear the residents are encouraged to stay active and well connected. Fountains of Hope is a wonderful option for seniors seeking a supportive, warm, and well-run community in Sarasota, and I am happy to recommend it to the families I serve.

My beautiful grandmother, Marta Brand, stayed here and passed away on January 25th of 2026. May God rest her amazing soul. The staff at this location went ABOVE and BEYOND to make sure my grandmothers final months/year that she was in great care. My grandmother was from Bolivia, and the staff made her feel so loved. We love you Fountains of Hope, I love you and so does my mother Christina Wood. Thank you so much for being there for my grandmother, Marta Brand.

As a provider, I cannot speak highly enough about Fountain of Hope. This facility truly goes above and beyond for its residents. From the Executive Director, Wellness Director, and Memory Care Director, the leadership team operates with an exceptional balance of professionalism, compassion, and dedication. The staff consistently demonstrate genuine care, treating residents with dignity, respect, and warmth. The facility itself is kept clean, creating a safe and welcoming environment that reflects the pride they take in their work. It is evident that Fountain of Hope is not just a place to live, it is a community where residents and their families can feel supported and cared for. The combination of outstanding leadership and a devoted team makes this facility stand out as a model of excellence in senior living.

Fountains of Hope is a lovely facility and my mother was very well cared for during her time there. Staff are very caring and attentive. I gave only a three star rating due to the following- We signed up mom to live in the beautiful assisted living side. Within a month of moving her in, the Director of Nursing at the time (no longer there) was constantly calling me with incidents/behaviors from mom. She continuously suggested a move to memory care. I was already anxious about such a lifestyle change for her and the added anxiety and worry I felt whenever the phone rang I feel was unwarranted. I needed kind gloves and I wasn’t getting that. A little more education for me from experienced geriatric caregivers should’ve happened and it didn’t. I started feeling harassed to make the move. We did end up moving her to memory care. Memory care is VERY different from the assisted living side we originally signed up for, but mom was still being very well cared for. This is the main reason I decided to write the review. I gave myself six months after moving mom out of Fountains, and I am still feeling unsettled about the situation and how it was handled. So, enough time has passed… Mom ended up in the hospital a year and a half after she moved into Fountains. The surgery she had caused her body to significantly weaken and she went to a skilled nursing facility to recover. Fountains sent the salesperson and a brand new nurse to evaluate mom at the facility prior to moving back home. Based on their assessment, they said she couldn’t come back. I find out at that point they had decided a few months earlier not to renew their Extended Congregate License. When I signed mom up to live there they had the ECC license and mom was in the assisted living side. We even gave Fountains mom’s burial documents for when the time would come. I thought what we signed up for was going to be her forever home and they would take care of her no matter what, not kick her out. I wish they would’ve let families know about the change to their license when it happened. The elderly age and weaken and need more care as they get older. I am still baffled that assisted living facilities just kick residents out as their care needs increase. Again, mom was very well cared for during her time there. However, we definitely did not get what we signed up for…
