LEGENDS OF SARASOTA — Assisted Living in Sarasota, Florida

Legends of Sarasota is a 140-bed assisted living facility in Sarasota, Florida. Its CareQED Score is 12 out of 100 (Serious concerns), based on Florida AHCA inspection findings. AHCA records include 1 serious (Class 1 or 2) violation. The record also includes 6 state sanctions or final orders, a formal enforcement signal. Care options include memory care, 24-hour on-site nursing, limited nursing services (LNS). It has operated under Legends of Sarasota, LLC for less than a year.

Serious findings are present and are the primary reason for the low score, with state enforcement actions also on the facility record and weighing heavily despite resolved citations. The AHCA record repeatedly flags medication management, resident care, staffing standards and training as trouble spots; while prior deficiency citations have been corrected, the facility continues to show recurring medication and resident care problems and the recent pattern appears steady and concerning.
