There is no charge or obligation to use SimplyNaya.
Start with the location where care is needed.
The person searching may live nearby or be helping from another city. The care location determines which local hospice connection and Medicare-certified provider information are most relevant.
After you contact us, request a private, time-limited link to providers serving the care location.

When care needs change, it is okay to ask questions.
Families often begin exploring hospice after a hospital stay, a difficult conversation with a clinician, or when support at home becomes harder to manage. You do not need every answer before taking the next step.
- Families may be managing care from another state, so confirm the Florida address where visits, medications and equipment will be needed.
- Ask whether the hospice regularly serves the specific assisted living, memory care or independent living community involved.
- Clarify how after-hours nursing support works across Sarasota, Manatee and southern Sarasota County communities.
Questions to ask when comparing hospice providers can help you prepare for the first conversation.
Comparing hospice providers in Sarasota
Check service at the address where care is needed.
An agency’s office location does not tell you whether it can support your loved one’s home or community. When comparing hospice providers in Sarasota–Bradenton, ask each agency to confirm service at your loved one’s home or community, current availability, and how it responds after hours.
Care at home
Ask who visits, how equipment and medications are arranged, and what help family caregivers will need to provide.
Understand hospice care at home →Care in senior living
Ask how the hospice team will communicate with assisted living or memory care staff and who handles urgent concerns.
Explore hospice and assisted living →Preparing for a decision
Write down what matters to your family, ask about costs, and confirm which services the agency can provide at your location.
Prepare your questions →Common questions in Sarasota
Clear answers before you make a decision.
Can hospice support someone living in a Sarasota-area senior living community?
Hospice may provide eligible clinical and comfort-focused services where a person lives, including some assisted living communities. The community must still be able to meet the resident’s needs and comply with its own licensing requirements.
Can an adult child arrange an initial hospice conversation from outside Florida?
A family member can ask questions and help coordinate, but the person receiving care or their authorized decision-maker remains central to informed choice, eligibility and provider selection.
Finding the right local area
Not sure which area to choose?
Start with the city where care will take place. We will show the local areas to help you choose. A ZIP code can confirm the most accurate local option.
Provider eligibility and service-area information should be confirmed directly with the hospice and through Medicare Care Compare. Local content reviewed September 2026.
Provider information by request
Your options remain private and complete.
After contacting SimplyNaya, families can request a time-limited link to eligible Medicare-certified hospice providers serving the care location. Paid partner placement never removes other eligible providers.
Before choosing care, families can also review whether Medicare covers hospice and what costs to ask about, or learn what hospice care at home may look like.
