The Summit Of Lakewood Ranch

Evening Walk Drive in Bradenton's Lakewood Ranch area, a large master-planned community spanning parts of Manatee and Sarasota counties, is home to The Summit Of Lakewood Ranch, a 142-bed community. That capacity places the facility in the large campus-scale tier, generally organized into multiple wings or care neighborhoods with a sizable staff working in shifts around the clock. Lakewood Ranch has grown rapidly since the 1990s into one of the fastest-developing planned communities in Florida, drawing residents and their families who often relocated from other states. Families touring a community this size should ask how the campus segments residents by care level and whether staff are consistently assigned within those segments. It's worth visiting at more than one time of day to get a fuller sense of staffing and activity levels.
