Our Community
About The Jasper of Sarasota
Classic architecture and landscaped grounds shape the setting at The Jasper of Sarasota. Inside, residents will find a library with a fireplace, neighborhood living rooms, a beauty salon, and spaces for dining and activities. The campus sits just off Lakewood Ranch Boulevard between University Parkway and Fruitville Road.
Daily life can include a full calendar or a quieter routine. Residents choose how they spend their time, and individual service plans define the assistance each person receives in Assisted Living. Magnolia Trails™ brings a more specialized approach for people living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia.
Eight Wooded Acres with Room to Step Outside
A courtyard fountain, gardens, walking paths, and a covered lanai give residents several ways to enjoy the Sarasota weather. Patio gardening adds a hands-on option for people who like to grow plants or work outdoors. Memory Care residents have access to a secured courtyard and dedicated walking paths.
The grounds are more than a view from the window. They create places to take a morning walk, sit outside after lunch, or spend time with visiting family members.

A Typical Day at The Jasper of Sarasota
Morning might begin with a fitness class or a walk. Later, a resident could join an art or craft session, attend a visiting lecture, or tend plants on the patio. Matinees, live music, religious services, social events, and field trips appear on the activity calendar throughout the month.
Some residents prefer a busy schedule. Others may read beside the library fireplace, watch television with neighbors, or stop by a root beer float social before dinner. Full-time activities staff plan physical, intellectual, creative, social, and spiritual opportunities, but participation remains the resident’s choice.
Magnolia Trails residents follow flexible daily rhythms. Brain stimulation, creative engagement, physical exercise, Creativity Boxes, and Life Stations provide different ways to participate based on personal preferences and current cognitive needs.
Dining Experience
Dining on the Resident's Schedule
Three chef-prepared meals are served each day. All-day dining choices and snacks are also available, so residents do not have to plan every meal around one service time. Menu selections include fresh seasonal dishes, scratch-made signature items, and traditional homestyle favorites.
Restaurant-style and tableside service are available in the main dining room. Residents may also choose in-apartment dining. Magnolia Trails uses family-style dining to create a familiar shared mealtime for Memory Care residents. Meals can be adjusted for a variety of dietary needs.

Care and Support
The Jasper of Sarasota offers multiple levels of care within one trusted community, creating confidence today and flexibility for tomorrow.
Assisted Living
Assisted Living helps older adults maintain their routines while receiving assistance with specific daily tasks. Available services include help with bathing, grooming, dressing, mobility, and medication management. Personal care, assessments, emergency response systems, and coordination with families and physicians are also part of the care approach.
Before move-in, caregivers complete a health assessment. They use the results to create an individual service plan that identifies the assistance needed, how often it should be provided, and who will provide it. A licensed nurse is available onsite seven days a week.
Memory Care
Magnolia Trails™ provides individualized Memory Care in a secure, calming setting. The program engages the five senses and cares for the whole person in mind, body, and spirit.
Caregivers spend time learning each resident’s preferences, needs, and current cognitive state. Those details guide daily timing, activities, dining, and the surrounding environment. Decor, sounds, smells, touch, and taste help create spaces that feel familiar while offering appropriate stimulation.
Short-Term Respite Care
Respite Care provides a temporary stay when a family caregiver needs time away, personal or travel obligations arise, or an older adult is recovering from an injury or illness. Guests may receive Assisted Living or Memory Care support in a furnished setting.
Short-term residents have access to all-day dining, fitness classes, transportation, wellness programs, activities, and community amenities. Stays may last a few weeks or longer. Availability and length-of-stay requirements should be confirmed before making plans.
Our Team Approach
Care starts with learning what each resident needs and prefers. In Assisted Living, the pre-move-in health assessment becomes the basis for an individual service plan. This gives caregivers clear direction about daily assistance while preserving the routines a resident can continue independently.
Magnolia Trails staff complete memory care training and must pass a dementia care exam before working with residents. Their approach considers the resident’s preferences and cognitive changes instead of relying on one fixed daily schedule.
Family members remain part of the process. Magnolia Trails™ provides dementia care guides and tool kits, encourages ongoing collaboration, and shares updates with families. The team may also work with residents’ health care professionals when coordinating Memory Care.
Apartment Floor Plans
Assisted Living floor plans range from a 355-square-foot studio to a 600-square-foot two-bedroom apartment. Alcove and one-bedroom options provide additional choices. Magnolia Trails includes a 250-square-foot Memory Care studio.
Pricing and Value
Thoughtfully Priced for the Life You Deserve
The Jasper of Sarasota offers monthly pricing based on residence type and level of support needed.

Our team is happy to walk you through options and help compare the value of senior living to the ongoing costs of living at home.
