THE FOUNTAINS OF HOPE — Assisted Living in Sarasota, Florida
The Fountains of Hope is a 116-bed assisted living facility in Sarasota, Florida. Its CareQED Score is 48 out of 100 (Notable concerns), based on Florida AHCA inspection findings. AHCA records show no serious (Class 1 or 2) violations. The record also includes 2 state sanctions or final orders, a formal enforcement signal. Care options include memory care, 24-hour on-site nursing. It has operated under The Fountains of Hope LLC for about 6 years.
Routine deficiencies are the dominant driver of this score, reflecting a steady stream of lower-severity citations rather than any recent serious enforcement action. The recurring issues involve staffing standards, training, medication handling, background screening clearinghouse matters, and resident care with admissions also noted; most citations have since been corrected and the recent pattern looks to be improving, though a few routine items remain open.
