Anchin Assisted Living at Aviva offers assisted living and memory care in Sarasota, FL. Assisted living includes help with bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident keeps a personal living space. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, and having both care levels on one campus may allow a resident’s care to increase over time without moving to another community.
The community has 70 beds, with studios, semi-private rooms, and one-bedroom apartments. A studio suits one resident who wants a single living space, while a semi-private room suits someone comfortable sharing. A one-bedroom apartment separates living and sleeping areas.
A heated outdoor pool, fitness center, tropical walking paths, salon, and barbershop offer places for exercise, outdoor activity, and personal grooming. The activity schedule includes fitness classes, live concerts, an author series, Aviva University classes in literature, science, and history, resident clubs, and programs designed by and for residents. Pets are allowed, so a resident can bring a pet when moving in. Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits are accepted, giving an eligible veteran a listed payment option for care. Dana Bedford serves as administrator, and Sarasota Manatee Jewish Housing Council operates the community.
A smaller, more intimate setting that may offer a quieter environment and closer staff-resident interactions.
