Quality, Affordable Senior Living in Sarasota, Florida


I have family member who lives there and is living in a hell hole!
Up Date: my family members living there are now living in a water damaged building!
I have lived here for 5 years. I love it. It has a great location. It is easy to get around if you don’t have a car. It’s clean and well-maintained. There are a lot of activities and get-togethers. All the staff are wonderful from maintenance to administration. They respond immediately to any needs that need addressing.
My friends that live at the Jefferson Center are very happy with their view and the friendly atmosphere!
Affordable, friendly people, lots of activities, lovely gardens and grounds and across the street from the bay!
