Doug Fish
My 91 year old Dad has been a resident at Aravilla Sarasota since March 2025 and he tells me regularly "I love it here - should've moved here a long time ago." I have been very pleased with every aspect of his new home. His apartment is spacious with plenty of room for everything he needs. The common areas are clean and well kept, the dining rooms are bright and comfortable and the food is quite good. Without exception we have found the entire staff to be friendly, caring and professional. The on-site nurses are very responsive and they pay close attention to the residents. Best of all, there is ALWAYS something going on at Aravilla - movies, games, trivia, bingo, outings around town, and happy hour with entertainment every day at 4pm. Dad has something to do 7 days a week. I would recommend Aravilla as a fantastic place for you or your loved one.
