The staff at Stratford Court of Palm Harbor was wonderful. The facilities were clean and bright. Everything was positive about our experience there. The food was good. It was a very pleasant experience. The salespeople, the staff, and the facility were all great. What they're trying to do is offer you affordable living, but all of the amenities are in the public part of the building rather than your private residence and I get that. It'd just be nice to have more room, but no complaints. It wouldn't stop me from going there. It's clean and bright. It is well-trafficked and despite that, it didn't feel like you were moving into any type of care facility. It felt wonderful.

Stratford Court of Palm Harbor was beautiful. It was somewhat different. There was more carpeting. They met with me in a separate room to discuss everything and give me the layout. It was mealtime, so the residents were all in the reception area waiting to go in for their meals. I saw the menu and it looked delicious. I didn't see the food per se, but it smelled wonderful, and these people were eager to go in to eat their meals and were all waiting patiently to go in. The staff was helpful, appeared to love her job, and was very interested in answering any questions that I might have. She's very cheerful. It's a very happy place. In terms of activities, there is a book club, a library, an exercise room, and a little general store. They go off to restaurants. They had a calendar posted, so they go on a little bus to restaurants. They have movies, too.

I toured Stratford Court of Palm Harbor. It was very nice, the staff was very nice, and friendly. We decided if we were gonna go that route that would be the place we would have chosen. They have a pool, a library, and a common entertainment area.

I like Stratford Court of Palm Harbor very much. During the tour the staff member was very nice and explained everything. The place was very appealing and their accommodations were beautiful. It was around Christmas when I saw the place and it was very nice with all the decorations. The place itself was clean, and I liked the kitchen since I like to bake and cook; it was very appealing to me. In terms of amenities, they have everything, but they won't let you into the pool unless a friend or family member is watching you. They have trips to the theater and other places for their residents. I've tried their food, which was very nice.They also showed me an apartment; it was very beautiful. Out of the five places I have visited, this is the nicest.

Stratford Court of Palm Harbor was clean. The residents interacted with each other and seemed happy and friendly. The food was good. It would be an excellent place for my mother. The staff was very friendly and answered all our questions. The apartments were pretty small though, but I really liked the facility. It was appealing to me. They have everything taken care of.

Stratford Court of Palm Harbor seemed very nice. We were very impressed with it. It looked like a nice place. The person who took us on the tour was phenomenal, beautiful, wonderful, and sweet. She couldn't have been better. We didn't try any of the food but it looked very nice. There were a lot of activities and there was some entertainment going on at different times. It looked like there were things to do.

Stratford Court of Palm Harbor is impressive. It has everything I need and everything I ask for. They have all the amenities I need. They provide me with meals, wash my clothes every week, and they do housekeeping. The food is very good, and the place itself is really nice. I don’t have anything bad to say about this place. I have my own apartment which is well laid out. I have a living room, a dining area, a bedroom, a very large handicap bathroom, a small kitchen, and a nice patio with a good view of the canal that runs here. There are lots of activities every day, too.

This was my first visit to an Independent Living facility and I was very impressed. Julie gave me a great tour, answered lots of questions followed by lunch. I do wish the rooms were larger. After visiting several others in the area, this remains my first choice.

Stratford Court of Palm Harbor was an excellent place. The staff was very professional and very nice. We were really impressed with it, and we had made our decision as soon as went there. The grounds were beautiful, and the location was perfect. There were a lot of activities, and the residents were very busy. The rooms were very spacious and nice, but they were not furnished. We went there for lunch, and the food was delicious. The dining area was very roomy and nice.

I found that the people of Stratford Court -- even with their age -- are really a much younger, much more involved in everything type of crowd. I like the food very much; it is fantastic. Everyone from the staff that I met was excellent. They were very friendly, very supportive, and made me feel good.

We really like Stratford Court of Palm Harbor. I was really hoping for this place, but it was beyond our budget. The place is absolutely beautiful, and they have a beautiful pool.

My father is in the rehab part of Stratford Court, and he is on the waitlist for their assisted living. When you walk in, it gives you a sense of energy and kind of a resort-style type of living versus something that is institutionalized. He has only been there for a week. The staff seems knowledgeable. The place is clean and in a great location. My father seems to be getting excellent care, which is important. I like it as far as the whole atmosphere, the care, the security they have in place, and the cleanliness. I think what sets it apart from the rest of them is just the way it's set up. I have not seen a bunch of people slumped in wheelchairs and not doing anything. The community has plenty of activities. It’s a campus where everything is self-contained but if they do want to leave, there’s transportation that does outing and so forth.

Stratford Court is very nice, very clean, and beautiful. My parents will have two bedrooms, two baths, a full kitchen, washer and dryer, living room, dining room, and a screened-in patio. The staff was very friendly and compassionate. They have shopping, trips to casino, malls, and stores. They have games, crafts, and cooking lessons.

Me and a friend of mine visited Stratford Court of Palm Harbor, and it has been very good. The staff seemed knowledgeable and very good. We looked at an apartment, and it was very nice. We were not able to eat there, but their dining area is very nice and elegant-looking.

Stratford Court was very nice. They were very accommodating, we met several staff, and it turned out really well. They were having a party last night when we went. I know they have games, TV, different outings, and stuff. We've put down a deposit, so we are just kind of trying to get our ducks in a row. The staff was very nice; we liked them a lot.

My mother-in-law and father-in-law lived at Stratford Court for about 10 years . There mobility problems in their 80s made it more and more difficult for them to live at home. They had become isolated and my mother-in-law would often be in her robe all day long and my father-in-law would wear the same stAined shirt all week. We help them find Stratford Court and move them in. The difference for them was like night and day. Here they have a social environment where everybody dressed Nicely for dinner and there were many social gatherings and activities throughout the week. Suddenly my mother-in-law felt the need to wear her best clothes and my father-in-law to wear startched shirts with cufflinks for dinner. They took a new interest in life and in their own appearance. The food, the activities and the social life of Stratford Court were just what they needed. It made the last 10 years of their lives rich and satisfying. I would be happy to recommend Stratford Court for anyone's parents.

My first impression with Stratford Court was excellent. Actually, I thought everything was perfect. The survey would be very easy to fill out as being excellent all the way through because we were very impressed. The apartments were very nice, spacious enough, and personalized. Each separate apartment had a personal shadow in a box of the resident, which was very nice. The dining area is beautiful. They had a menu of activities listed for the day. It was luxurious, much like a resort.

Stratford Court of Palm Harbor is a very lovely place. It is new and a more elaborate place. The people are very nice; I just don’t think that is the place for me.

We thought everything was good at Stratford Court. Their grounds were very nice. The staff was also very nice. The rooms were very nice and in good size. I think they had activities like bridge, and they went out to shows.

Stratford Court is five minutes from my daughter's house. I'm on the waiting list. I like everything about it. It is fantastic. It is like living in a big hotel with all the services you can want. They have everything in terms of activities. They have cards, and they have bus trips to the orchestra and to the casino. The main thing is that, the particular apartment that I want, I was able to see a furnished one there. It was just so great. It had a screened-in balcony. Also you would get two meals a day, and that's included. Everything is included in the rent, except your phone and your Internet. Stratford Court is beautiful inside and out. My daughter and I went for dinner. The menu was fantastic. They had three choices of main meal every night, but if you don't want any of the three meals featured, you can order from their "anytime menu." Also, Stratford Court offers a full buffet breakfast every day. They have a beauty shop in there, they have a laundromat if you don't have a washer/dryer in your apartment, and they also have a full library and a big conference room. They have a beautiful outdoor pool and a hot tub. The view was beautiful from both sides of the building. It felt very comfortable. The people were very nice.

I would recommend Stratford Court because it was beautiful. I had wonderful food. It had a walk-in pool, and the people there were very nice. They had activities every day. They had doctors, a dentist, and they had workout rooms.

My mom has been living in Stratford Court for several years, and my dad was there, too. He was in one part of Stratford Court where he was living off a feeding tube and couldn't walk or talk, so we moved them both in there. He passed away two years ago, and now she's still there. They have a library, an audio room, and computers. They have Wii bowling, and they have a little bowling alley for Wii bowling, and they have just about everything you could need. They have game night. They have a little bar where they have happy hour and play games. She's very pleased. I think they're pretty good. Mom is starting to complain about the food, but I thought it was good. The staff is just fine. They have a bus, but we have a lady who takes her instead because my mom doesn't really use all those kinds of benefits that they have there.

We're thinking of moving to Stratford court. This is close to our current home, our doctors and other places we go. The location is very convenient. The place was clean and neat, the rooms were very nice, airy and spacious. We had a meal there which was delicious. Everyone was friendly and we liked it a lot.

I am quite happy here in Stratford Court. It's just a nice place to live. I chose this place because it's very close to where my daughter lives. The staff is delightful, kind, pleasant and I've never met anybody who worked here who is in any way objectionable. They're great. The guests here are very nice. It's independent and leaning towards assisted. I think about three-quarters of the people here have walkers. It's a compatible place. There are two areas for improvement though, one area is food. It's institutional food but they've made some improvements. The second thing would be transportation. As far as I'm concerned it's less than adequate.
