Chair Yoga is a relaxing and beneficial exercise class taught in the seated position for safety and comfort. This activity is ideal for many seniors. It stretches muscles and focuses on breathing techniques. This is a monthly event growing quickly in popularity!

Sarasota Bay Club, the sister community to Jacaranda Trace, visited for a tour of our campus in February. Our Directors got a chance to share the happenings of their community and exchange ideas for future events. Dining Services prepared a delicious meal for all to enjoy!

Jacaranda Trace, Full-Service Retirement Community has been voted the Best Retirement Community in Venice for 2011 by the Readers of the Venice Gondolier Sun.

Everyone at Jacaranda Trace thanks the readers for their support and invites them to come visit Jacaranda Trace and the Inn at Jacaranda Trace to see why we are the #1 Retirement Community in Venice.

Jacaranda Trace was voted #1 Retirement Community by the Readers of the Venice Edition of the Sarasota Herald Tribune for 2011.

February's Lunch & Learn topic was "hypertension." Residents and outside guests came to learn more about this health issue, how it is treated and most importantly, how to avoid it altogether. Dr. Shohail Shariff gave a wonderful presentation, guests were educated and got to socialize over a fantastic meal together!

Your health is one of the top priorities here at Jacaranda Trace. This is why we are so excited to announce our partnership with Venice Regional Medical Center! See the full article below which was printed in the Venice Gondolier.
