Sunnyside Manor is a 68-bed non-profit skilled nursing and assisted living community operated by a church organization in Sarasota, Florida. Accepted: Medicare and private pay. Serving Sarasota County residents, the community offers a continuum from residential assisted living to skilled nursing, memory care, and rehabilitation.
Staffing is the facility’s most distinctive asset. Nurse hours of 5h 59m per resident day rank 8th among 252 Florida SNFs, placing the facility 35 percent above the 4h 25m state average. All four CMS sub-ratings exceed the Florida benchmark, producing a 5-star overall rating 36.6 percent above state average. Over the inspection window, the facility averaged 2.8 deficiencies per year, 39 percent below Florida’s 4.6 average, without immediate jeopardy findings, fines, or enforcement actions. Deficiencies across the record have been limited to lower-severity administrative findings: a 2024 medication self-administration assistance citation, staffing documentation in 2021, and admissions and training documentation items in 2018. The May 2025 complaint investigation was clean. Quality Measures run 17.1 percent above Florida’s average, consistent with the staffing and inspection picture.
Amenities contain an ice-cream parlor, courtyard and sun terrace dining rooms, outdoor verandas and garden patios, and a library with computer station.
With staffing depth that ranks among the state’s best, Sunnyside Manor fits Sarasota older adults requiring skilled nursing, memory care, or post-acute rehabilitation within a faith-affiliated care continuum.
Sunnyside Manor is legally operated by Sunnyside Health Services, Inc., and administrated by Jason Brunner.
