Best Care Senior Living at Sarasota LLC was inspected 56 times between July 26, 2012 and July 16, 2026 by Florida's Agency for Health Care Administration. 19 of those visits ended with deficiencies cited and 23 with none, and 14 were follow-up visits confirming corrections. Across that history AHCA recorded 63 deficiencies, 8 of them in the two most serious classes. The state has taken 12 legal actions against this license, with fines totalling $42,600.

The most recent visit is recorded as “Deficiencies Corrected”. A deficiency is a rule violation recorded by a state surveyor. Follow-up visits that confirm a correction are counted separately from the visits that cited the problem, so the same issue is never counted twice.
