Desoto Palms LLC

Ninety-five beds puts Desoto Palms close to what most people would call a large campus, operating on North Honore Avenue in Sarasota near the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport and not far from the University Town Center shopping district. That scale generally comes with enough staffing depth to separate residents by care level and run a broader activities and dining program than a small home could manage. Sarasota County's northern edge, near the Manatee County line, has seen substantial senior housing development in recent years as the broader Tampa Bay retiree market has grown. On a tour of a community this size, ask how residents are grouped by need and whether that grouping changes as a resident's care requirements evolve.
