Lifestyle Choices
Have you ever wanted to be free of the daily aggravations of maintaining a home or condo, from housekeeping, carrying bags of groceries, or worrying about driving at night or in the rain? Are these responsibilities now frustrations? Are they keeping your from having the energy or time to go the theater or to club meetings that you have always enjoyed?
Our Goal at Alderman Oaks is to improve and enhance your independent life-style. Our Location in exciting downtown Sarasota makes it easier for you to stay active doing things you've always done or have always wished you could do. Living in downtown Sarasota makes it fun to go on walks, probably the most recommended exercise (Wellness Programs). It makes it easier to stay involved in "real life" visiting your stock broker, bank, or favorite theater.
Alderman Oaks' staff strives to take away all the stress and monotony from daily living so that you can enjoy a truly independent life. Our Activities Programs make it possible to stay active even when you aren't able to go out into the community. Our medium size and warm, truly caring atmosphere makes it easy to make good friends who support each other in good and difficult times.
Most of the people who come to Alderman Oaks come to enjoy an independent life style. We however offer assisted living. It is our goal to make our assisted living the best that is available. Those residents who have been enjoying independent living with us will always have first option for assisted living apartments if they ever need it.
Our affordable rental plan frees your budget of home maintenance expenses and you of stress - you can concentrate on the things you enjoy.
