Robinson greeted Marco Island Chamber members with open arms, cocktails and a lavish buffet prepared by Stonewalls. Paula and Richard spent much of the night giving group tours of the facility while still finding time to mingle with Marco Chamber members.

Entertainment was provided by Sanitasole’s own Music Therapy Director, Craig Greusel. Performing on his acoustic guitar throughout most of the evening, coupled with great food, thirst quenching cocktails and beautiful weather made for a very special evening.

Frank Camposano, father of Sanitasole owner Paula Camposano-Robinson stated “The Marco Island Chamber of Commerce is a great thing; they definitely bring the community together as one big family”

“Our Home is Your Home” is the saying at Sanitasole at Barfield, an Adult Day Care Center with a recently added Assisted Living Facility on Marco Island. Sanitasole with its NEW 10-One Bedroom, One Bath Assisted Living Suites is now the ONLY Assisted Living Facility on Marco Island.

Sanitasole works to keep a personal, supportive ambience for elderly

After working on children’s puzzles in a sunny day room, with a breeze from a courtyard garden, the small group of elderly men and women prepare for lunch.

The four residents at the upscale Sanitasole, the only assisted-living facility in Marco Island, and the dozen or so others who come for the adult day program share a large table for the hot meal of veal parmigiana, pasta and vegetables.

Paula Camposano Robinson, who co-owns the center with her husband, Richard, nudges them to interact. One struggles with the pasta.

“Roll it on the fork, kiddo,” she demonstrates. “You can do it.”

She starts a video of the “Dean Martin Variety Show” on a large projection screen.

“It’s one of their favorites,” she said.

Keeping the elders engaged every day is critical; so is being upbeat with them. All have varying degrees of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, besides their physical impairments.

“The biggest work is acceptance of their limitations and not making it a negative. Then they do better,” said Richard Robinson, Paula’s husband and co-owner of the center.

Some of the residents like doing small tasks around the center, which gives them a sense of accomplishment.

“All of us want to make a contribution,” he said.

Robinson and his wife opened the three-story Sanitasole, which looks more like a beachfront mansion, in 2008 with the adult day care program.

The 10-bed ALF debuted in December. It also has an extended congregate care license to provide nursing care so the residents can remain at Sanitasole, which becomes their home.

“Between 94 and 98 percent of all residents can remain here until they die,” he said. “A small number will have to go to skilled nursing.”

About Sanitasole Sanitasole (Sah-NEE-Tah-Solay) loosely translated from Italian to “Healthy Living Under the Sun” is Marco Island’s Premier Place for Senior Health. It is the brainchild of the Paula and Richard Robinson that began with a dream dating back to the mid 1990’s. With more than 50 years of combined professional experience in Clinical Health Care and Administration, Paula and Richard decided to dedicate themselves to making a positive impact on the lives of the Senior Community in Marco Island.

“When we designed and developed the Sanitasole model we wanted to effectively provide a one stop shop, blending skilled patient centered services (known to extend or stop the decline of the aging process) in an atmosphere of trust and affection but in a homelike setting. Interaction with others outside of the home is just one aspect of making the experience more fulfilling, Camposano Robinson said.”  

 “Day Services are one of healthcares 'best kept secrets', and we knew we needed to have excellent activities and programs to include: music therapy, gardening, pet therapy, computer stations, a library, a fitness center and we included a heated hydrotherapy pool to help enhance the quality of life of our seniors”.  We have an enriching Tuscan inspired environment with many social activities and programs, and although challenging, they are learning opportunities for clients to seek out new hobbies or goals. While some clients interact with others their own age and with the same psychological capabilities, we know we all age differently; some seniors may be taking a morning swim at age 90 while others require assistance with Activities of Daily Living. Sanitasole accommodates both.

Camposano Robinson is quick to admit, however, that “no matter how well structured and appealing the programs, a deep sense of empathy, compassion and respect is what helps clients gain self-esteem and self expressions. This then allows for a positive outlet for energy, emotions and personal choices – this is when you know the programs work” she said. Ones’ attitude and how kind you are to an individual is what will ultimately be remembered! Sanitasole prides itself on its excellent reputation and Paula’s 30 plus years of nursing care in the Marco community. Licensed by the FL Agency for Healthcare Administration in 2007, Sanitasole has been offering a broad range of health care programs specifically tailored to the personalized needs of our clients.

With offerings of Senior Care Management, Adult Day Health Services, Wellness and Personal Training, and Rehabilitation, Home Healthcare and Hospice Referral programs, Sanitasole has been able to provide Marco Island and its’ surrounding communities with a caring, devoted and empathic team of professionals to those who want to remain active and socially engaged, as well as others requiring ongoing healthcare management.

Whether in our Adult Day Health Program or one of our companion services, Sanitasoles’ skilled caregivers are experienced in assisting senior clients who need help with activities of daily living, those with Alzheimer's/dementia, stroke, multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's disease and many other conditions related to the aging process.  We know each client is unique, thus we develop a customized plan of care to help them achieve a fuller, longer and happier life while giving respite to a family caregiver or loved one.
