SUNCOAST EAST — Assisted Living in Sarasota, Florida
Suncoast East is a 112-bed assisted living facility in Sarasota, Florida. Its CareQED Score is 13 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 1 state sanction or final order, a formal enforcement signal. It accepts Medicaid. It has operated under Suncoast East, LLC for less than a year.
Routine deficiencies drive the score: the facility has a substantial and recent volume of lower‑severity citations, most of which were corrected and there are no serious findings or active enforcement on the record. The citations repeatedly concern resident care, medication management, admissions, staff training, records, and Alzheimer dementia care; while many of those areas have since been corrected, a minority of issues remain open and the most recent inspection showed an uptick, so the trend looks worsening.
