Power Is Hers

extremely concerned about the level of care at Birchwood Center in Sarasota. Despite repeated complaints from families, upper management has consistently failed to address serious issues, and the overall environment has only worsened. Residents are frequently left unattended, and basic needs like hydration, hygiene, and safety are often neglected. Due to this negligence, my family member has been put in unsafe conditions, including a heightened risk of infection. While there are some staff who try to do their jobs well, management’s inaction has allowed systemic problems to persist, putting residents at real risk. Families should be extremely cautious before entrusting their loved ones to this facility.

No concern for proper sanitation or medical practices of hygiene. family member I visit regularly requires an ostomy bag for basic hygiene and health. On multiple occasions, she has been left without an ostomy bag for hours because staff stated the facility did not have enough supplies. This resulted in fecal contamination of her body, bedding, and room. Leaving a resident without a medically required ostomy bag is unsafe, undignified, and creates a serious risk of infection. This has happened more than once and is not an isolated incident and staff has even admitted to not putting bags on her because they do not have enough. Social services at the facility does not help or correct . Elijah who is one of the directors is honestly a joke, along with the CNA staff that follows blindly to this neglect all because of a paycheck! PROPER INFECTION CONTROL is not a minor inconvenience it is a failure to provide essential medical and personal care AND NEGLIGENCE period! Families should be aware of this before trusting this facility with a loved one. ↓

If I could leave ZERO I would. THINK TWICE before trusting your loved ones here. have visited this facility regularly over several months to see a family member and have serious concerns about resident care and cleanliness. Call lights frequently go unanswered for extended periods, and staff responses can be dismissive when concerns are raised. The environment is often unsanitary. I have walked into a resident's room to find soiled linens and feces present. The resident requires an ostomy bag for medical reasons, yet has been left without one for hours due to lack of supplies, resulting in fecal contamination and serious infection risk. These concerns have been raised internally without meaningful improvement. Families deserve transparency, and residents deserve safe, dignified care.

My mother was admitted there a few months ago, and I really like the environment. It's quiet, not crowded, and clean. The variety of food is great, which encourages patients to eat. The staff is very attentive and caring; they listen and try to accommodate their patients' needs.

“Exceptional Care and Teamwork!” I can’t say enough good things about this building. The staff truly care about the residents and go above and beyond every single day. The teamwork here is unmatched — everyone from nursing to therapy to administration works together to make sure residents feel valued, comfortable, and cared for. The building is always clean, welcoming, and full of positive energy. You can tell the employees love what they do, and that makes all the difference. Highly recommend this facility for anyone looking for quality care and genuine compassion.
