Joan. W
October 2024
In 2023 Retirement Unlimited Inc. took over management of The Fountains, a popular senior living facility in Sarasota.They changed the name to Elance at Sarasota and proceeded to change the very nature of the place. Doris Ellie Sullivan, president of RUI, wanted all RUI facilities to be the same. She was the ultimate micro manager. Quickly several excellent administrators left and found comparable jobs in neighboring places. Existing, popular programs were replaced by “signature” programs that RUI requires at all its facilities. Buildings were closed supposedly to be used in new ways, those buildings stand unused today. Fortunately Doris Ellie left ( I assume was fired) and soon after that RUI was replaced by new management. Residents are hopeful that the new company will take time to learn about the cculture of the former Fountains and help return it to the vibrant facility that was a home in which we residents thrived and of which we were proud. Then I’ll give it 5 stars again.
