"Promise Pointe just recently opened and seemed very nice. I was impressed with the facility. The studio my mom was looking at was big enough for what she needed."

"My parents have been at Grace Manor at Hunters Creek over a year now. Recently my mother fell and needed to be hospitalized for several days leaving my dad to be alone. My dad is totally blind and dependent on my mom to be his eyes. The wonderful staff at GM took great care of him in her absence. They made sure he was taken down to the dining hall and that his food was cut up and of course returned to his room. That gave me peace of mind that I did not have to worry about his care while I was with my mom in the hospital. The leadership is superb at GM and it flows down to the staff. All the employees are kind and caring to the residents and always helpful. I am most thankful for GM and that my parents receive the best of care available! Thank you all at GM!!!!"

"Brookdale Bayshore was nice. The staff and community were very good. The apartments were very nice and had great views. The food was great. The residents looked very happy."

"I am a friend of a resident of Adams House of Tampa. In general I thought the facility was better than average. When you first pull up, you will notice that the grounds are not well cared for as they could be and there is definitely not enough parking for visitors since the employees take up most of the parking spaces. I do like that you can sit out on the porch in chairs and visit and I do like the fact that Adams House of Tampa is in a nice neighborhood. Once you go inside though there is no private visitation area, the seating is next to the front door and only a few places to sit. Also the chairs and sofa did not smell fresh and did have stains on cushions. The residents did like their meals as everything is home cooked and looks and smells very appetizing. I noticed the staff were very friendly and really seemed to care about the residents. All in all, I would definitely recommend Adams House of Tampa to everyone. "

"Everything was good about Best Care Senior Living at Saint Joseph. The only thing I didn't like too much about it was that they didn't accept my grandfather's benefits because he only received $900 and everything there was from $4000 and up, but they helped a lot in figuring things out to look for other places for him. So, they were great. The facility was clean. The building was a nice structure. It had a nice atmosphere. It was calm. They had nice-sized rooms. They were pretty big."

"It is a very big community. They have several floors. It is the best one I've visited. It's very clean and very well structured. The staff was very nice and seemed to be concerned about our situation. However, in the end, they couldn't help us because of my brother's criminal record in the past. The dining area was set up like a hotel. The private room was nice and roomy, and it had a bathroom. The residents all seemed happy and engaged in whatever activity they were doing."

"We chose SeaCoast at Uptown Oaks for my parents because of a combination of things. How big the apartments were, the price, and how friendly and personable the staff was. They're very flexible, warm, and personable. The apartment was large and affordable, but I'm not that impressed with the food. They have a lot of activities, they take them places and they have a lot going on. It's pretty nice and peaceful, with a lot of shade and a lot of greenery. It's very comfortable. I think they could use a little more upkeep."

"We toured Colonial Assisted Living at Tampa. It was very clean and pretty, but the rooms were a little bit small for two people. I have a sewing machine that I want to use, so I need a bigger room, and I have a double bed that I want to take. I like that they had a piano, their facilities are very good and the family room was nice."

"My mother will be moving into Angels Senior Living at New Tampa memory care unit. So far, so good. We have to move our own furniture in, but the room was clean and the size was good for us. The staff was nice, and they have good service. They have activities, but very simple ones. They have everything inside. They're pretty new."

"We look after lady friend whom has no family and through the last 14 years we've known her this is the 4th assisted living facility we've moved her too. The first one we were very happy with but it was taken over by a larger company and prices were raised beyond her level of affordability. The 2nd and 3rd homes were sister homes owned by a family whom we thought provided good care but after her dissatisfaction with the way she was treated, the quality of food and the friendliness and attitudes of the staff we decided to look for a better place. Another friend of ours told us about Shady Palms. It was a place where his mother lived out her life. They were very happy with Shady Palms. We finally decided to give it a try and now after 4 months our friend is very happy and comfortable. The most outstanding characteristic of Shady Palms is the friendly, caring and courteous staff. Unfortunately our friend could not afford a private room but shares a room with another lady. Shady Palms management placed her with a very nice roommate and they both get along fine. The rooms are small but each one has its own bathroom. It appears that the residents are encouraged to enjoy the larger living spaces in the home. There are many activities going on all the time. Other than the inside spaces there a a couple of screened in outdoor large porches where people can come for fresh air. Our friend also has relayed to us she seems to have more freedom here which in the last facility she felt she didn't have. Also she relays to us that the food is so much better. Last she truly enjoys the fact that during the late night someone checks in on her to make sure everything is fine. As you can probably already tell.... we are very happy with Shady Palms. Thank you Shady Palms for caring for our friend. "

"What we like most at Freedom Plaza is that they have all different levels of care. We have electronic things that checks when you are up each day. There’s a nurse in each building, physical therapy, and visiting nurses. They have home health. The food is very good; there are seven restaurants. It’s a large place. The staff is very good. There’s a skilled nursing and rehab center. There’s a Clarebridge for memory center. "

"I went to Sun City Senior Living. They gave me the walk through and some materials to look because that was my first walk through to get an idea of the costs of things around and to see what the best facility would be for my dad. The rooms were very nice and had various types. I was able to see everything in the facility including the common areas, the recreation areas and things like that. I saw their activities calendar and it looked like they had something almost every day, like arts and arts and things like that. With the holiday season coming up, they were all centered on Christmas. The dining area looked clean. I liked that it was not a huge place, but it had all the essential care available that my father could need. Unfortunately, he did not live long enough to do it."
