CEO Letter

Dear Friends,

Welcome to Pines of Sarasota Rehabilitation and Senior Care Community. Pines has a 74-year legacy of excellence in compassionate care for seniors, leading the way as the region’s top not-for-profit provider of short-term and outpatient rehabilitation, skilled nursing and memory care, assisted living, and falls prevention.

Pines also provides unique additions to our senior care experience. The Learning Tree at Pines of Sarasota, our newly renovated on-site child care and learning center, provides intergenerational programs for both our kids and the seniors in our care. Our educational programs benefit both caregivers and those being cared for, as well as the community at large and our own programs. And our Fabulous Finds thrift store, with two locations, is a treasure trove of donated goods that helps to fund our mission.

Call us for a tour of our newly-transformed senior care campus! Our new skilled nursing center offers expanded outpatient and inpatient therapy gyms with state-of-the-art equipment. There is a beautiful new hair salon and a one-of-a-kind theater equipped with a hearing loop system for the hearing impaired.  Residents visit in the outdoor courtyard, enjoying the sunshine and fresh air. New private patient rooms each have their own bathroom and shower. Memory care residents enjoy an indoor activity area under a full-length skylight, designed to create the feeling of the outdoors in a safe and climate-controlled environment; this special activity space is unique in health care for dementia care programming.

Pines of Sarasota is built on a tradition of service to seniors and the community, and we are grateful to the wonderful donors who made this campus transformation and our mission of service a reality. We are committed to continuing our progressive leadership role to advance the standard of care for seniors, and we are grateful for the support that allows us to do just that.

I invite you to choose Pines of Sarasota for the most advanced care available for you or your loved one. I am honored and grateful to lead this team of highly-skilled health care professionals as we continue to meet our community's ever-growing rehabilitation and senior care needs.

Sincerely yours,

Mike Ward
