BROOKDALE PHILLIPPI CREEK — Assisted Living in Sarasota, Florida
Brookdale Phillippi Creek is a 127-bed assisted living facility in Sarasota, Florida. Its CareQED Score is 34 out of 100 (Serious concerns), based on Florida AHCA inspection findings. AHCA records show no serious (Class 1 or 2) violations. The record also includes 8 state sanctions or final orders, a formal enforcement signal. Care options include memory care, 24-hour on-site nursing. It accepts the Medicaid Assisted Living waiver and VA benefits. It has operated under Brea Sarasota, LLC for about 19 years.
Routine deficiencies across many inspections are the main reason for the low score rather than any single serious enforcement action, reflecting a steady stream of cited problems that were largely corrected. The citations recur most often in resident care, medication handling, staff training, staffing standards, food service and the physical plant; most of those issues have been fixed and the pattern in recent inspections appears to be improving.
