Overview of The Highlands at the Glenridge on Palmer Ranch The Highlands at the Glenridge on Palmer Ranch in Sarasota, Florida, offers nursing home, assisted living, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing. Assisted living helps with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident maintains a private apartment. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care. Memory care is secured and supervised for a resident at risk of wandering.
Nursing home and skilled nursing include licensed nursing care on site around the clock. Having several care levels means a resident can move within the community if needs increase without starting over socially. Respite care provides a short term stay when a family caregiver needs to travel or recover. The range of care levels may suit a resident whose care needs could change over time.
There is plenty to do outside the apartment. Residents can use the pool, tennis courts, pickleball and bocce courts, outdoor spaces, Glenridge Performing Arts Center, and Creative Arts Studio for recreation, performances, and arts activities. Special interest clubs, dance lessons, volunteering, travel opportunities, and entertainment through The Glenridge Players and Chorus add structured ways to spend time and connect with others.
Dining venues serve cuisine with fresh, made from scratch flavor, and transportation supports participation in travel opportunities. Pets are allowed, so residents may keep a pet while living at the community. The home may be a good fit for someone seeking independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing home, skilled nursing, or a short respite stay, particularly when care needs may change over time.
The community opened in 2003 and has 60 beds. Total nurse staffing is 6 hours and 1 minute per resident per day, representing the daily amount of nurse staffing time allocated per resident. Medicare and private pay are accepted, giving families the option to use eligible Medicare coverage or pay directly.
