Ashton Place Corp

Ashton Place Corp, on Ashton Road in Sarasota, is licensed for 44 residents, a mid-size facility set apart from the small six-bed homes that make up much of this county's licensed housing. At that scale, the community can typically support a fuller activities calendar and more than one common gathering space, while remaining compact enough that staff can still learn most residents' names and preferences. Sarasota is widely known for its arts scene and Gulf-front barrier islands, though Ashton Road itself sits in a more residential, inland part of the county. A useful question for a mid-size community like this is how it staffs the overnight shift compared with the busier daytime hours.
